Second AP Incoming!
Received a surprise message from my SA a few days ago that one of the watches on my list was available. By the time I saw the message and replied it was a few hours later and he was already off work with the following day being his off day. I panicked a little and thought I had missed out on it lol. Luckily for me that wasn't the case and I was able to pick it up today. This is the 2nd watch for myself and 3rd overall. My wife got her 34mm ceramic just 2 months ago so I wasn't expecting another watch so soon. My SA is awesome!
I really love the watch a lot, the black dial contrasting with the silver bracelet really stands out nicely. I can't stop looking at it and I think it will be getting solo wrist time for a while. The funny thing was both my wife and I didn't realise it was Valentine's day today until we both sat down and our SA mentioned it... this has to be the best Valentine's gift I've ever received  Now I'm considering going for the 26238ST in baby blue or full bracelet or the 26238TI in green for my next watch. Would love to hear if anyone has some opinions on these. I can't wait! |

Congrats! I always find it a little funny that one of the first things we do after buying a watch is to start thinking about the next one.

Congrats! Both look amazing. Your wife's ceramic fits her perfectly. I'm jealous I tried the 34mm ceramic on and it was too small for me. What a nice way to start your Valentine's Day

AP feels much more straight forward than trying to guess what the AD is thinking or wants me to buy. |

Congratulations OP! Looks like there will be plenty more from AP for both of you in the near future, enjoy them in good health.
I’m also getting the same feeling from the Patek AD while AP has been more than transparent. Grey market isn’t a bad option for PP right now given the softness for dress watches, good luck hunting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Would be fun if her ceramic had a silver-colored dial to serve as the inverse of yours! Anyway, congrats! Looks great.

Couple shots from today. I love it when the light hits the tapisserie dial just right. I know I'm super late to the party but I can sort of understand the hype around this watch now. It's simple, classic, there's lots of different angles to admire, the movement while simple looks pretty nice, and the bracelet is one of if not the best out there. It's comfortable and beautiful.
If I had to sell all my watches and just keep one for a daily this would be a top contender for sure. |

That's a nice pair of ROs. Whichever 26238 you get, suggest getting with or adding a bracelet. The quick change system is so convenient, and the wear experience differs notably between a bracelet and strap. |
