Royal oak chrono

After a long wait I finally get to pick up my royal oak chrono. I put my name down years ago and finally got the text today. This will be my first AP and starting off with the grey dial chrono.
Pretty excited about it I pick it up next week.

Congrats. Fantastic timepiece, looks great on you.

Sometimes it can be so discouraging to have to wait many years. However, when it finally arrives, the feeling is unmatched. Kudos for hanging in there and not giving up!

thanks everyone - it was completely unexpected but a fun surprise. I do think the market is shifting a bit especially if a small fish like me in the big pond of Boston got a chrono as a first watch.

Either way I am enjoying it and it fits my wrist extremely well. I tried on the 41mm chrono and couldn't pull it off so decided on the 38 and think it fits perfect.

Congratulations for this watch, it looks perfect on your wrist !
You are not that small if I look at your watches, and you waited 2 years... Enjoy it anyway :)

Congrats! Unfortunately the AP AD here in Singapore loves to play bundling games which i was not willing to do so.. so i'll probably pick one up from the grey market when the time is right..
