Update to the 26315 search
Hi all, I just wanted to share an update to my previous post in search of a 26315. Very surprisingly, I was able to acquire it in a few weeks! I first made contact mid-August by phone, visited two boutiques (57th street and Manhasset) at the end of the month, and 11 days after visiting, I got the call from the Manhasset boutique. The SA said it would arrive in a week, so once she received it, I wired the funds, and I just picked it up the other day. Pictures attached.
I’m certain I am not an important person (other than to my partner and parents!), and I don’t see myself buying multiple watches a year--perhaps one every year or two--so I am frankly perplexed as to why I got it so quickly, but I am very happy to have gotten it in such a short period of time. I definitely am an AP customer for life now! |

Thank you! Yes, I agree. I have no idea how they decide how to distribute or sell pieces. I have no buying history with AP, and did not try to buy an 11:59 first, so I don't know how this happened so swiftly.

Congrats! You got a hat too!!!! What a great pick up. Yeah I was able to get a 26315 blue panda from AP in East Hampton with zero purchase history. I first contacted the boutique back in Nov 2020 and it was ready in Jan 2021.
Great pick up. Good awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats!!! I have a very similar story for this exact model from another boutique in the area, good to see these making it to people who really appreciate them. 38mm is the perfect size!

Great to hear acheronsgrief! I tried on the 41 and it was too big for my wrist size. Glad to be in the 38mm chrono club :)
