Just bought my first AP (15300)
Hi Guys.

So I just bought my first AP the 15300, but since it was purchased 2nd hand I would love to have your expert opinion so I can relax a little more. I have everything from box to papers. The shop is a proper 2nd hand shop, and I have been given 1 year warranty with the watch. The dealer is chronotrade if anyone is familiar with them, they have a lot of AP and Rolex.

Thanks for your help guys !

Well I think I know all there is to know about the history, would just like to make sure the watch is real, I'm like 99,9% but I guess I wanted someone else to agree with me, so I'm certain :)

Thanks for your help, so happy to hear that !

I have always been a Rolex guy, but after I tried my friends AP collection of the 15202 and 15300, I just knew that AP was going to be my next thing. Love how they care so much for the details :)

Great pick up 15300 blue dial is getting quite difficult to get hold of especially in nice condition as yours is

Big Congrats!!!!!

Blue dial APs are special -- and I have to say -- I am a BIG fan of the 39mm references!

Enjoy!!!

Enjoy! The 15300 is a great piece. Classic Royal Oak, but with modern touches.
