Incoming 50th Anniversary 26240ST

Long over due but I’m still over the moon on this piece. 2nd piece at this BT and my first was NOT a code. :-). Only been working 2 years with my rep and I can’t wait to see where this relationship goes.

When I asked, you could’ve allocated this piece to anyone, why me. Response was “ you were kind, patient and wasn’t an A Hole…”

Sorry for the not so great pic. The blue dial was extremely hard photograph. It looks blue, black, gray in various lighting angles.

Cheers all!

Congrats.

“...wasn’t an A Hole…” the BIGGEST tip for acquiring an AP and for life in general. Awesome. Treat people nicely and see what comes back around.

Is Bleu Nuit brighter or darker than the blue on the 15202?

I have a 6.5in wrist. DD40 is my size of choice but wearing the 41mm AP a little more snug, it works on my small wrist.

Wow, it looks perfect on your wrist, congratulations!
And I love the backstory with your SA appreciating you being a genuine person.
