Powerhouse addition to the collection.

I was hoping I would be lucky enough to get something this year, I just never expected that I would be blessed with a 50th anniversary jumbo.

Received the phone call this past week for it. May have to see about getting an extra link for those extra carbohydrate and hot days.

They make also 0,5 link. Could be the sweet spot during summer because 1 full link is big (IMHO)

Do they?
Never seen 0.5 links on a RO... However they make 1.5 links, which won't solve the problem of the OP.

By the way congrats on the awesome pick-up OP!

They make 1.5 link? I’d love one. Never seen it. Do you have a photo anywhere?

The 1 1/2 links are available for most RO models I believe and they do make a comfort difference.

Nice pickup, well done.

Agreed.

I have one on my Royal Oak 15500.

Great watch…lol I can’t!!!!!! I can’t stand the AP! Nuts and bolts with old kitchen tile for a dial. Lol people here know my hate for it, I am on the minority and it has more street credibility than any Rolex. I get it. But I do love your collection regardless prior!

I appreciate your love for my collection. But I'm a bit perplexed on your comments about AP itself. It's an AP forum for those who like the brand or maybe in your case those who don't. There is no need for you to go on several posts and spew the same dislike over and over again.

All the best.

Thank you for all the comments. My collection is at that reevaluation threshold point. I know I have to much(or do I) and should really think about consolidation to make room for other powerhouse pieces.

I will be going this week to see about a possible extra half or full link though.

Thanks again and even to the haters.
