NWA 15510ST Blue for my Bday

Well it’s my 55th Bday and my Nomad hit me with a stunner, I clearly didn’t expect a SS to get offered a Blue 15510ST.

The message was “Happy Bday!”

I have been passionate about the brand for a long time and as a collector I can tell you that this masterpiece is a grail for my collection, and this meant the world to me on my Bday!
They shipped the Watch overnight to me with a Bday card and swag AP Cap that I will wear to the next Watch meet up lol.

The Nomad team was amazing with their follow up to make sure I registered the watch with the new warranty program.

Now I have to say the watch is so crisp that the edges are sharp I was not expecting that as I already have a 15400 White dial from the Grey Market and that was already worn in when I got it. So the newness of the case and bracelet is something I have never experienced in a new watch. And yes I have had plenty of new watches some of you know my collection.

But what an amazing watch and an amazing journey!

Lovely birthday surprise. Happy birthday!
Love your wife's humor BTW. You're only a few years ahead of me and we don't need either of what your wife gifted you. Not yet at least! LOL!

Thxs Cooper I feel like things are getting easier for everyone with prices adjusting and ppl slowing down spending on anything over 30k is really helping the true collectors!

I do love the in store experience but this is sooooo much easier since the closest boutique is 4.5hrs drive away I do have St Pete that 1hr but not the same experience for sure as a house. Im super excited for the new Miami House

Happy Birthday and Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking, how does one get into a Nomad program or get assigned a Nomad SA?

Honestly I just asked. And they are looking for dedicated passionate collectors of the brand.

Have a really good story about where you are and where you’re going from here with your journey. I went from looking for a new home base here in Florida or NYC as my main AP house and then started chatting with a person who I didn’t know was a nomad at the time and just kinda got adopted is all I can explain it as.
I’m going to do a full collection shoot of my APs and a collection breakdown for myself and then send it to my nomad. I have come so far and only one way to go and that’s up baby!
