Hello, first AP form boutique :)

Hello everyone. I haven’t been as excited for a watch acquisition for a very long time! A few years ago, I visited my AP dealer and showed interest in a Royal Oak. The boutique suggested I start with a Code 11.59 or Off Shore and so I chose an off shore and was added as a “wishlist”. I would pop in the boutique every few months without avail. Last year I had a better discussion with the boutique and purchased a ladies watch for my wife. And to my surprise, last week I was offered a Royal Oak. During this time, I got a suggestion to consider other options besides my preference of black 15510ST. I was worried chrono would be too thick for my 6.75” wrists and asked to stick with RO in black or grey but not white. And a couple of weeks later, I GET THE CALL. Received it and absolutely love it. This is my first ever brand new from boutique AP and hopefully not the last.

I have previously tried Royal Oaks and they were always a little big for my wrist but this one works so well, I think because of the now thinner bracelet. Also, I resized it in the boutique and felt I need to add half a link but now a few days in, I think it’s perfect. My wrists usually fluctuate and with Rolex, I do usually resize using micro adjustment so I was worried this wouldn’t work. The watch is always snug and when I am indoors with AC, it barely allows for my pinky finger to go between the watch and wrist but not enough to move around. Will see in the next few days, maybe I order a 1.5 link for summer, not sure if it is available for the 15510ST.

The next topic will be, what next? 38mm chrono in blue? Diver? Code 11.59 in blue? :)
