15305OR Royal Oak
I notice this 39mm model is still shown on the AP Factory website, but with the words "availability to be confirmed". I believe it is no longer in production with the newer 41mm option. Still, always the 39 for me......
39mm is the perfect size....
But every time I see yours 1 thought comes to my mind...!!! So glad your enjoying yours and this gold version is pretty good Andy.
That is a shame to hear.
Honestly Andy, I never think about it on my 15202, which as you know suffered the same issue. But mine was corrected so quickly, so professionally, and under warranty. I know it is different from your position. The shame is that you miss out on a great br...
It's funny that.....
I compared 'that' situation to a recent issue with my BMW. It's 7 years old, out of warranty, full service history but not all from BMW which had a timing chain issue..! It is potentially a known issue but after 5 days in the BMW garage and a bill of £250...
I was agreeing with you about...
AP offering both case sizes, and that it would be a mistake (and sad for me) if we can only get 41mm.
Such an extraordinary execution!
IMO, 39 vs. 41 is almost inconsequential considering how stunning it is. Truly an exceptional timepiece in my book.
I do agree here Todd...
If I did not have a 39mm, no way would I pass at owning a 41mm. And that one does offer a unique movement feature with the double balance wheel. So while I prefer the 39, for an Openworked model you can do either.
I also prefer 39mm
41mm always looks kind of "bloated" for a Royal Oak. The new 41mm RO Skeleton looks very nice nevertheless.
The PERFECT AP will always be 39mm.
Just feels right on the wrist and does not look oversized.
