A couple weeks ago I helped our friend APRolex find the 15305ST Skeleton that he was looking for. I always liked it but didn't really have any expectations of buying one for myself until I saw how great it looks on the wrist. But I figured, why not call my AD and ask him to put my name down on the list for one. If it comes in 6 months to a year, I'll be able to decide for sure by then if its for me. So I called him last week and did just that. Now they make very very few of these a year and most ADs get one a year so I thought it unlikely that I'd get one anytime soon.

Lo and behold, my AD calls me yesterday and says guess what, I have a gift for you. The piece came in right away! I could not believe my luck and this morning I received it. And as a testament to the great customer service they provide, he even threw in a nice AP pocket square for me and packaged the box nicely. It's these little touches that I really appreciate from ADs especially given the poor experience I've had with many others. Onto the pictures:

Congrats! As good as your picture looks, this watch looks even better in person.
I've been told by an AP employee that this was their favorite watch offered...my favorite as well!
