Finally have a Royal Oak on the way
 

Spent probably a month contemplating my first 30k+ watch and ended up with a 116519 meteorite, and while it’s incredible, I really missed having a bracelet and the royal oak has always been on my “must have” list.

I was originally considering selling my Daytona and hunting a 15503BC, but then I figured having two watches feels a lot more fun than 1 haha.

So now a beautiful 2018 15400ST Blue dial that was originally sold in my home town of NY should be on its way to me from France soon, so excited!

The 15503BC is a GRAIL piece for sure that dial is next level, but they have recently gone up again with gold prices flying and them being underpriced for what your getting...

That 15400ST Blue dial will be a perfect substitute for the 15503BC

I agree that 2 watches is better than 1 in this case for sure!

Congrats and you will find the AP riding the wrist way more often than the Daytona

Congratulations, post pictures when you land it:clap::thumbsup:

Congratulations.

Sooooooo guess who bought a 15400 and then literally while it was in transit his dealer found him a great condition 15503BC [emoji28]

It’ll be cool to see both in person to compare, but for now I’m very very happy with my technically… second AP?

Would post pics but Rolex forums doesn’t wanna let a noob have fun!

Cant wait to see it. The 15503bc is amazing

That’s an epic piece. The combination of WG and that dial is the perfect combo. Looking forward to seeing the pictures

Yay, I’m out of new user jail, here she is!

Congrats...and you know what is more fun then 2 watches...3 :chuckle:
The "what is next" disease is real and this forum is a super spreader of the disease.

I only have one right now and as perfect as it is I obviously can’t help thinking what’s next. The only thing holding me back is a promise made to wifey [emoji24][emoji24]

Congratulations! [emoji1303]

Welcome to the team other than the John Mayer there is nothing better blue dial wise for AP the only thing close is the Vacheron

Smart man keeping the wifey happy. As one of the female members of the forum let me say we love being listened to! :cheers:

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Hear what you say about Vacheron and their Blue dials but, for me, in the flesh they are not as deep in hue when you see them up close and personal.

Beautiful watch.

Here you go side by side no filters

It’s all about the light for sure the APs need to be hit at almost an angle where the Vacheron dead on it better

Thank you :cheers:

To my eyes (in the flesh and on line) the Vacheron Blue dial has an almost inky flattish blue look to it?

Whereas, and I agree here totally, the tapisserie AP dial catches and refracts more light and richness of colour.

Got to compare to a vacheron overseas blue yesterday, I’ll see if my friend has the pic. I do think in darker rooms the vacheron blue still takes the cake.

But in the sun, I love the variance of shading with every little movement on the AP.
