My First AP Royal Oak Chronograph 26331OR

This is my very first Audemars Piguet and I’m thrilled to add this in my collection. The complete model number is 26331OR.00.D315CR.01 if you want to look it up.

I have the same watch with chocolate dial and changed the strap with a grey rubber one. Phenomenal watch...congrats from Italy !

[@thewatchenthusiast5729]

Thanks Roberto. The chocolate dial is also very beautiful. Congrats . My thoughts and prayers are with all native Italians. Wife has many relatives in Italy and thank God are all well. Stay well and safe.

Hi Roberto I have the same 26331 chocolate dial as you, did you find the rubber strap much better comfort wise? I bought a brown rubber B a couple of years back for my 15400OR but never had it fitted & when AP serviced that watch I replaced the brown croc with a new one but the croc strap on the 26331OR is looking much darker almost black now & I’m not sure to go with a new leather or fit the rubber B.

[@impexRQ]

Wow - congratulations 🍾 - now you really step up the game 😎😎 - will you another piece will ever get wrist time? 😂

[@thewatchenthusiast5729]

That rings very true Rodrigo Quintero Bejarano. I have been wearing it most of the time. It is pure pleasure to look at it on my wrist.

[@DiabloZGaminG]

Hello, hope you’re doing well. Did you get a chance to weight the watch? Thanks in advance

[@DiabloZGaminG]

Hey how are you doing? Did you get a chance to weight the watch? Thank you!

[@DiabloZGaminG]

Congratulations sir, looks beautiful. If you’re still reading the comments by chance, may I ask the weight of the watch on the leather strap with the rose gold deployant? Tried the watch with the full bracelet and it was extremely heavy and weighed in at 450+ gms, don’t remember the exact figure. If you could, please let me know the weight of it on the leather, thanks!

[@thewatchenthusiast5729]

I will weigh it and let you know tomorrow

[@DiabloZGaminG]

Thank you, appreciate it. Will be waiting to know the weight!

[@killbill]

@@thewatchenthusiast5729hi, did you ever get the weight for the watch? Thank you

[@4cds14]

Hi I love the watch, without giving exact figures did you save substantially buying from non AD? I have been seriously considering buying the brown dial with brown croc version but on chrono 24 they seem to be almost list. I've heard you can get 30% discount on gold models from AD but not sure if that is applicable to this model. Congratulations anyway on a stunning watch, seeing your video certainly got me wanting to make some calls to an AD. Best wishes Chris

[@thewatchenthusiast5729]

I believe that this is a boutique only model and therefore no discounts are to be expected. If you buy used then its a different story .

[@4cds14]

Just to let you know I bought the 26331OR chocolate dial on the strap a few months back, I’m a man of my word. Hope you still have yours ?

[@miamijames]

Amazing piece, did you pay less than retail?

[@thewatchenthusiast5729]

Yes. About $4,500 less plus the sales tax that I would have paid to the boutique . Even though this was only 5 months old it was still a used watch purchase from an individual (not a watch dealer ) that needed the funds asap for a business adventure .

[@miamijames]

Thats nice congrats you got a good deal. , I am looking for one now but looks likes prices have gone up a little bit, just have to be patiente
