Incoming, my first blue dial RO
The boutique called me at the end of Jan, to come in on the first day of Feb.

Couldn’t be more happy with this. Now I really want a 3 hander RO in Bleu Nuit Nuage 50!

Oh and AP coverage covers all 2024 pieces. The SA told me they were just informed that coverage is now back!

How do you like your 26420CE and this 26240ST? I am thinking to get 26240ST in a few years. Do you have a daytona? If you do, how does AP Chrono compared to Rolex Daytona?

Absolutely love them both. Same movement different case. One is brutish one is classy.

I have the 116 Daytonas in steel, YG and RG in oysterflex, let’s just say after getting the 26420CE, I haven’t worn any of them.

I do like the new 126 series Daytonas and would like a steel one, but the finishing, movement, bracelet and dial is just on a different level for AP. Rolex would still be more accurate, my APs run from 2-7 seconds fast a day but on rotation I need to wind them up anyway so it doesn’t matter.

Other than the new steel 126500LN I wouldn’t look for the rest and save my bullets for more AP. oh and yes, no bundling games with AP + coverage. Sign me up for more.

Thanks so much for your feedback. Especially, an owner of both Daytona and APChrono
