Another Incoming!
I honestly can’t believe that I’m writing this. But on Thursday I got the call from the AP boutique that they received something that I might be interested in. I only have one watch on my wishlist with them (in fact I only have one watch that I was targeting for all of 2025 - when I turn 50). I assumed it was for a ROO or something a little different from what I was targeting. I was determined to stay disciplined this year and just focus on the 41mm RO with silver/white dial.
Well - lo and behold - it’s the one!! I really can’t believe it. I have a good rapport with the SA. And he knows how much I truly enjoy mechanical watches and the admiration I’ve found for AP. It’s a stunner. I love it!! Really the perfect watch for me and my tastes. Just don’t know what I’m going to do with my watch seeking energy for 11 months since I promised my wife this would be the only one this year! Ha!!!  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats! Now, do what most of us do and figure out what watch(es) to put on your currently blank wish list.

congrats
. was the white dial your personal choice? i don't know why the white dial is so underrated. have you seen the black dial in person to compare? the black looks so dull i don't find it appealing at. |

My buddy has the black dial and as you said - it’s kind of boring to me. But the answer to the question is yes - I specifically wanted the white dial and couldn’t be happier. It’s spectacular in person IMO.

Congratulations! Love hearing stories like this, glad you got the one you wanted, it looks great.
In the picture with the Code and the 15510 is it just me or does the Code look much larger despite them both being 41mm? I wonder if it has to do with the thin bezel on the code and larger dial?

Thanks!
It does look bigger in the photo - but it’s exactly what you said. The code has a thinner bezel and larger dial. On the wrist the code weirdly looks smaller IMO. Both are awesome. I find myself wearing the Code a little more often since it’s totally under the radar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats.
I am wearing mine today and indeed the silver dial is just awesome and so underrated. I also asked exactly for it, instead of chasing the blue hype. |
