For me, 37mm is the perfect Royal Oak, as long as you don’t have huge wrists. You get everything the bigger watch gives you but in a much more subtle and wearable package. Almost has a bit of a Cartier Santos feel to it. I can’t seem to take mine off. The most important thing is to embrace and learn to love the scratches. If you can’t do that, it’s not the watch for you.
That's nice of you to shoutout Penny. I've been watching her for a while and have connected with her off of RUclips, she's very kind and an absolute delight. Great to see the online watch community coming together strong!
Congrats. I wonder how you’ve managed to get these fine timepieces at the boutiques? I know your channel isn’t about this, but I’d love some real and practical advice on how to go about obtaining these at retail without prior buying history. I’m trying to get into the brand but my boutique won’t give me the time of day. I’m not blaming them necessarily, the boutique is in NYC so I know I’m competing against the Wall Street crowd with dollars to burn. I gave the consultant my wish list of two Royal Oaks one for me one for the lady and while he’s super friendly, I honestly know those orders may never come.
I own the blue 15500 and ordered the blue 15450 for my wife as a surprise. I hope not have to wait for more than a year, but we'll see. It's an amazing watch. Really stunning! I compared it with many others but nothing comes near!
You are definitely killing it with the edit. Awesome video, great impressions and footage plus awesome story telling. Respect, enjoyed this one quite a lot and congrats on the new AP. Have a great Sunday and cheers from Germany. 👍🏻🙏🏻
Cool..seeing your AP collection..I am now 15 but I have targetted that till 25 ..I will own the blue dial ap..for sure Your work is really appreciable...keep it up😇
Congratulations on your new acquisition. This is an absolutely stunning piece and also happens to be my grail watch. Your videography and edit are top notch and captures the watch perfectly. Hope you wear it in good health.
Just speechless. Let a lone picking up another special piece, this editing is amazing. Bro, you keep outdoing yourself. Keep it up and many congrats ;)
@@WatchSociety You very welcome bro. We're less the 30 days away from the big day. I can't wait for things to settle down and I'm looking forward to the travel aspect to become more relaxed. Indeed once this takes place we will link up ;) In the meantime I've been trying to make time for some uploads before the wedding (Umm,,,, busy, busy) Lol. Hopefully I'll have an quick upload up on the Daytona very soon as well. Cheer's bro....
Excellent creativity with the edits as always, Ridah! Been waiting for this video! Congratulations on another beauty! AP is quite addictive, I can see. I have my sights on the 38mm chronograph next. :) Thank you so much for the shout out! WHEW. What a hobby this is with such fantastic people like yourself.
Thank you 🙏 it is addictive and my bank account is telling me to slowdown 😂 the chrono 38 white dial blue sub dials is such a perfect fit and really a good looking watch, even the rose gold with the cream dial, however, in the past people had complained about the caliber 2385 which is based on the Frédéric Piguet 1185. Do not let that stop you but worthwhile investigating more I could be mixing up the references 😆
Congratulations on the new piece and loved the additional footage of the remaster 01, code 1159 and awesome footage of the plane & airport. The editing is nice. Wear your watches in great health.
Great video and love your content. Do you have any advice or tips on getting into the market with AP? I really want to buy my first AP without having to purchase through grey market.
Maan the quality is insane, i'm not even a watch expert but you are one of my favorite youtube channel for sure Keep going, one day your work will have much more recognition
Beautiful watch.. nice acquisition. Personally for me, (dont take it the wrong way) one royal oak is enough in a collection. It's very similar to the 15500st but obviously size difference and in this case the dial colour difference. With the money spent, I would have purchased something else. Maybe a patek phillipe or an independent brand. A bit of diversity to the collection. But that is just me, each to their own. At the end of the day buy what you like. Great video again. Thank you.
Well said, if you caught the last videos you would know the white is my wife’s and I own the blue and black, and really got it for the dial colour. Your point is 💯% valid and my collecting philosophy is really to diversify as much as possible. Patek is the aim, at some point. Thank you 🙏
Congrats! I just got my first AP - the same 15450 blue dial - about a week ago. Your white dial 15450 looks handsome as well. What are your thoughts on having multiple 15450s in different dial colors? Given it’s a midsize watch so not really “standard,” do you feel it’s worth it? Have you been able to enjoy both? Love your content btw! Cheers.
Congrats absolutely stunning!!! The blue dial looks very different in your review shimmers a lot more than other reviews I seen for the blue 37mm where it has looked flat. Would be interested in your take on the grey dial 38mm chronograph.
Hi Ridah, your video inspired me to pick up the grey 15450, it’s a hidden gem. I just wanted to check if you ended up getting the extra link? I have a 6.75inch wrist with span of 55mm. It feels snug at the moment in warm temperatures here in the U.K. so not sure the wrist will expand any further.
Hi Raj, congratulations 🎉 15450 is indeed a hidden gem, any dial colour is nice. Yes, I did get the extra link, it’s called (one and half link) in UAE it’s about US$443. They’ve taken one of the original links out and replaced it with the 1&1/2 link, perfect fit with a little room for the hot days.
What do you think about Code 11:59? I think it is a watch that all the ones that see it love it, but without the hype we are all a bit reluctant to finally buy it... As soon as two VIP start wearing it could explode the hype...
Great video as always, I am always enjoying Your videos. I was wondering why You chose the 37mm blue dial over the 41mm blue dial? I remember You mentioned You will present the white dial to Your wife. In the end, is the 37mm more versatile? Best Regards and keep up the nice work👍🏼
Hey thanks for watching 🙏 the blue is boutique exclusive dial color and the 37 is definitely a unisex size. :) the white is hers, the black is mine and the blue is somewhere in the middle :) thank you once again Cem
My grail is the 15450 in two-tone stainless steel & 18K rose gold. Has the white dial. Omg so beautiful. I have to have one but $36,000 is going to take some time to assemble, since I just got another Rolex! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Amazing video and congratulations! Just curious, how many pieces did you purchase from the boutique before being allocated a blue dial 15450? Thanks in advance!
Watching this again 3 years later man and it seems it didn’t age well 😂 Visiting AP House next week and I’m very curious to see these watches with my own eyes and hopefully try something on the wrist.
they remain great pieces, but are so fragile at the same time, while the design remains iconic, I genuinely don't understand the current hype, been around long enough to remember them MSRP for well below 20k with a discount on top great steel bracelet dress watch, but the sports aspect is long gone, as they are neither functionally water-resistant nor do they survive daily wear and tear well
First, I've gotta say, there's nothing like a blue dial. My absolute favorite. Secondly, though I love the aesthetics of the AP, "RO," my opinions of the model, mirror your own. Almost to a "T," I would say. Watching this production from last April, I have to wonder, what happened, to cause such a shift in opinion for you, about the model....the brand, ect?? Just a complete shift in perception, in a little over a year.....maybe less. A great production as usual. I'm trying to catch up, on some of the older content. It's all part of the journey. Cheers from the states
I am just wondering, I want to get the 15500ST blue dial and I don't mind waiting and paying retail. Audemars website says that the retail is 21000 CHF. Is this true? Do boutiques sell at retail price? I don't wan't to pay almost double on market. Looking forward to hearing from you bro. Nice collection brother!
Mabrook! Bro that’s a bad ass AP collection!! Beautiful watch even though I think the 41mm is just the most perfect size. For me I don’t wear watches all day only when going out so size and comfort isn’t as important but feel and presence is more imp! The 41mm just feels like you’re wearing something epic!! Like Nico says it makes your balls feel bigger ahhahaha
@@WatchSociety Inshallah I hope you do get it or I think the Ref. 26317BC.OO.1256BC.01 in white gold and blue dial would look stunning on you plus the 38mm size would be great too!!
@@WatchSociety yeah, over the blue. That’s because of the way the case is finished and has so much “shine”, the black dial looks More sleek than the blue dial for 15500. However, the blue looks pretty sharp for the chronograph.
R U sure that 37 mm is for man too. My dealer said that even though that 37 mm dial bigger than Rolex 36 mm in DayDate, yet the bracelet in 37 AP RO is too smal for man.
If your wrist size is 6.5 or 6.75 you should be good! Otherwise add a link, going with a arey dial may even the whole look. So yes it is a size for both men and women.

Does it scratch very easily?

I already have a small dent on mine on the bezel at 12 o’clock

Wouldn't mind to see you review some of the code 1159s. Especially the chrono

I got mine 15500 without a waittime at a private auction. How much did you get yours for? Was it an auction, or did u have to wait?
Also your videography has gone to the next level!! I love it!! Amazing video, feels top notch!!!
You are definitely killing it with the edit. Awesome video, great impressions and footage plus awesome story telling. Respect, enjoyed this one quite a lot and congrats on the new AP. Have a great Sunday and cheers from Germany. 👍🏻🙏🏻

Man, what an intro 😳 great job!! Marc Gebauer always praises your video quality. Well, he didn't lie.
Really appreciate the effort and quality of your videos. Are you concerned that your collection is very polarised?

Gotta complement the intro. Work of art. 👍🏼
37mm blue AP is such a beautiful piece. Bought it 4 months ago and still pinching myself now.
Man the editing of this video is amazing very very very professional you are talented beyond watch collecting
❤️❤️❤️🙏🇸🇩 thank you brother
Just got a Royal Oak 26331 ST with the panda dial. My only AP. Now Im addicted to AP. Looking at the 15500. Great review. Stay safe Ridah!
Congratulations George you just have to link up with me and do a review on it now 😆 Congrats once again brother wear it in good health
love your videos and cool editing style but OMGGGG why didn't you remove the plastic case caps on the 15450s for the video?!?!
Great video and love your content. Do you have any advice or tips on getting into the market with AP? I really want to buy my first AP without having to purchase through grey market.
Can we just appreciate the editing that has been done in the video, Sheesh. The intro was something else. Good shit
🙏 🙏
The full review video will play right after don’t miss out
I left my AP on original bracelet and didn’t touch it.. love when watch is sitting loose on wrist 👌👌👌👌
❤️ I’ve added a 1&1/2 link for the same reason 😊 🙏
Congratulations yet again! :)
Thank you, now, for real, we are AP blue dial brothers 😂
Beautiful dial. Congrats, man. Wear it in good health.

Thank you Florent🙏
Beautiful collection. Congrats , and I already told her but congrats to penny again
You have the same 3 watches. Sell the two small ones and buy a blue dial wg Daytona or a platinum day date 🔥
You got bit by the AP bug. I want to pick my first one. Should I pull the trigger?? I have plenty of Rolex’s.

I am hopefully going to be getting a 15450 and 15500, for my wife and I’s 10th anniversary!! I don’t know what dial I will end up with?? 🤔
Nice pick, it’s really like that, I didn’t know either, only on the day it arrived.
That AP Code looks amazing! is that ref:26393CR.00.A002CR.01 but with a differnt strap?Loving the channel.
Yes ,this is the two tone white and rose gold with the new straps released last month.
I have the AP chrono blue dial but the blue doesn’t pop as in other brands like Rolex.
Watching this again 3 years later man and it seems it didn’t age well 😂
Visiting AP House next week and I’m very curious to see these watches with my own eyes and hopefully try something on the wrist.
