My Ticket into the AP Family...AP Royal Oak 15400!
Overtime I have learned NOT to use the term “grail” for every nice watch purchase. However, in this situation there is no other term that is more appropriate than GRAIL! I’ve grown to have an appreciation for Audemars Piguet, but never seriously considered owning one as it was way out of reach. On Thursday all the stars aligned and I turned two “great” watches into one “FANTASTIC” one! I could barely sleep on Friday in expectation for my package to arrive on Saturday. Check out my new AP Royal Oak 15400! It cost me the crown jewel in my collection…my Rolex BLNR
 but it was well worth it. I LOVE THIS WATCH!  In my family, every year the same angel goes at the top of the tree but the ornaments below the angel can and often change. My new AP RO will play the same role. I can’t think of anything else I’d want at the Top of my “Watch Tree” but what’s below it could and will change quite a bit. The watch fits great, looks great, and is well balanced on the wrist. It will be my go to watch for dressy affairs and power business occasions. I am absolutely giddy about this one! I don’t sleep with a watch on but almost made an exception last night! Now for the pics that don’t do the watch justice!

 Major congratulations! We both just acquired the same Beauty  I may also let my gmt2c (ln) go in the wake of this great piece. Don't feel so bad, the 15400 is totally worth it IMHO. Enjoy yours in good health sir!

Very, very, very nice.
I also consider the 15400, otherwise it will be the 15300 or a PP 5711. Not easy. |
