The watch is certainly deserving.
I think it is easy for us to fall in love over and over with the Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore collections. But with the 15305 Openworks, the emphasis is really on the center of the watch, and not as much the case and bracelet. Those attributes are the hallmarks of a steel Royal Oak, but on this model, it is the wonderful artistry and execution that make it so incredible.
Bravo, Alfred!
Thrill of the Hunt
Took me almost a year to track down one of these: AP RO SQ in stainless steel. 39 mm of sheer joy. No. 0888 - what an auspiciously delicious number! Mmm... With my ROO in for repairs, my 2 other RO's welcome the newest member to the family, Skeleton silho...
Congratulations, a great piece.... btw....
I think I used to live in the same building that you took your picture from!!! I used to be Tower 7! Great watch again, congrats!
Big Congrats on this one! One of AP's hottest references!
I have flirted with this watch myself many times. It is very difficult to track down. Having seen the movements being made in Le Brassus, you really appreciate the work that goes into this watch movement. Countless hours of labor performed at the hands of...
High praise from Michael indeed!
Thanks for the compliments Michael! For a non-limited edition piece, this one was quite the catch. I know that the 15305 in SS is produced in very low numbers. I actually had an opportunity to acquire this piece earlier this year but was beaten to the pun...

amazing piece, i love skeletonized dials
did you have to pay a premium for the #888? :)
Thank you all for your kind words
This is my 1st piece that took some effort to find. (OK, my old Navy ROO also took some effort but I was simply in the right place at the right time). I enjoyed the hunt for this one...the adrenaline high when closing in on your quarry...and to finally ho...

RB2 strap
I have a spare grey RB2 alcantara strap that I have been saving for a future 42 mm ROO. Do you think it will fit with this 39 mm RO? Alfred
That's a great combo.
That's not an AP strap is it? Cuz the AD told me that there are no replacement straps for the stainless steel version. Would you mind sharing with me how you converted your piece? Alfred
