Hope you enjoy this, and I’m really interested to hear your comments, which is your favourite? As an aside I made the soundtrack for this video to try and go with the watch and brand….hope it works?!! If you liked this video, I would really appreciate it, if you can click like and subscribe and check out the other content on this channel. 11 months after making this video, I've been fortunate to be allocated - check out my most recent video on the AP Royal Oak!
Lovely video and music. I wanted a blue dial RO for year and have to agree about the white/silver dials being so special in person. I’ve been on “the list” via AP House London for almost 12 months now for either a blue or white RO
Thanks Ikin for your comments and feedback, really appreciated and pleased you enjoyed. Great to hear you’ve had a similar journey and experience, good luck on the waitlist hope you get yours soon, and if you’ve been on for 12 months already you’re certainly higher up in the queue than me :-). Look forward to hearing
The blue dial simple 3-hander 15500 is the grail watch for me. Better than the Jumbo, if only because it is bigger, and perfectly suits my 8-inch wrist. And a bit better than the chrono because of the clean simplicity - less is more. Anyway, I joined the waitlist for it (well, it was the 15400 then) in 2019, and I got it last year. I have several decent watches, but if I had to choose 2, it would be my Polar Explorer II (or maybe my SD43) for daily duty, and the 15500 for special moments where I can avoid dinging it (you can never really relax with it on, unfortunately).
Two year wait?? I was quoted a 4 year minimum in 2019 before the secondary market went crazy. It's good that you say AP doesn't allow queue jumping. I'll drop into the boutique later this year to see if I was actually added to the list 😁
You're gonna hate this, but I walked into the Miami boutique in June and walked out with a Code 11.59. 3 months later I got my white dial 41mm royal oak. Not sure if that counts as queue jumping but I made no plans to get that Code 11.59. It was my first time in the store and after some convincing I was offered my beautiful Blue sunburst dial Code in Rose gold. Friggin love that thing. 😂 Thinking about the 38mm rose gold chrono next
@pinkaminadianepie4735 congrats and thanks for sharing. Code 11.59 is an under appreciated watch but I really like it. I got my Royal Oak a couple of months ago, so came through in under a year in the end. Check out my more recent video if interested. Good luck on your next purchase, sounds lovely
My favourites are the Nick Faldo (especially with the display back) and the Military dial. Of the current ones? 50th anniversary blue dial and rainbow dial black ceramic (even if it doesn't fit😁)
I just got the white dial chrono steel RO at retail price. Absolutely stunning! I'm partial to blue dial (have 5 of those already) but this white dial is very special. The non-chrono is extremely clean looking but with the intense sparkle I thought it looked a bit feminine for me. The chrono makes the dial more interesting (IMO) and adds a touch of masculinity lol
Hey I was thinking about buying my first ap (the ice blue 37mm royal oak) and I was wondering if you have some tips and how long you had to wait? Thank you I appreciate it!
Hey Good luck 9 months. Built relationship with AP boutique, a few visits during that time Check out my more recent video on this if useful where I got allocated. 37mm may be easier than 41mm but certainly aligned to trend for smaller watches
Brilliant content buddy. Which AD would you suggest between Harrods or Sloane Square? I was in touch for over a year back in 2019/2020 at the Harrods AD, nothing came out of it, at the time I had a Royal Oak chrono panda and a navy off shore. Prior to Harrods I passed by the Sloane square and was appalled by the service and they were so rude, I was there inquiring for a new strap, it was just awful. I would like a 37 Royal oak, either in white or grey, do you think I could have access and start over, is it possible to have chat with AP house? I am London based. Look forward hearing from you and your insight. Currently have a rose gold code, blue fume. Clive
Thanks so much appreciated. Very kind of you. Personally, I’d go straight to the AD boutique on Bond St. No issue with Harrods, but like any retail store they will provide preference to their largest (Harrods) customers. Personally, I’d recommend go direct to source and build the relationship with AP
@@notenoughtime7274 hi, assumed you were London based too? AP only has two AD’s in London, Harrods and Sloane Square, third being AP house, but was not sure if I would have access there. I was under the impression AP does not work with other distributors like Watches of Switzerland etc
@@groovechampion1100 good luck! I’ve been on the list for a GMT Meteorite dial for sometime. Not sure if it’ll come off or become discontinued. I’m tempted by the Moser Streamliner….but not 100%…yet!
Very beautiful watch - congrats! Hope you enjoy. They do look lovely in rose gold. I just got mine in steel a few weeks back (check out my more recent video if interested). Have a great weekend

Nice video!! I was on the waiting list and finally acquired my 15510ST.
I now have to make my trip to London.
Thank you! And congratulations on your watch. Hope you enjoy. I’m very envious :-)
I just got mine! Check out my most recent video if interested. Hope you're enjoying yours. All the best

Did you get it in the end?
@@rey_s90 not yet no. I did buy a grey AP Diver and am loving it

Thanks for sharing. The blue dial is the most classic and I also love it in that size. Congrats on your watch, hope you enjoy it. I’m very envious :-)

@@groovechampion1100 yes AP House. Everyone has access to book an appointment. Even me.
@@notenoughtime7274 hi buddy, will enquire with them and you know how I get along, thank you. What’s the next watch on your radar?

I just got 15510 RO rose gold version with blue dial. Have waited for 3 months

@@notenoughtime7274 thanks for your reply! How long did you have to wait and was it the first purchase from them?
Which boutique?
The white is out of this world
Thanks so much. I just got mine! Check out my most recent video if interested. Hope you have yours / get it soon. All the best
I’m happy for you.I received mine 2 months ago and i enjoy it every second
@@realrockrolla thank you, that’s great to hear you got yours
how large is your wrist? did you ever consider a smaller royal oak?
