I just do not get the Royal oak. I might be the wrong age or something but it just looks like a really outdated take on something modern to me.

The patek lookalike is the same way.

Blech.

I'm with you. I'd never spend that much on a watch, but if I did, I'd at least want it to look good.

Nonsense. APs are a baller watch and honestly a step up from Rolex in the horology pecking order.

FTA, what is the reference number of that Royal Oak? Complete box, papers, etc?

Agree. While I do love Rolex, it's a mass produced watch, and nowhere in the realm of AP, Patek Philippe, and FPJourne. I do agree this watch has a bold look so maybe not for everyone.

Reference is 26170ST.OO.D305CR.01. Comes complete with box and papers from 2013.

i don't think i questioned the legtiimacy of Audemar Piguet, nor its place in watchmaking. i just don't like the looks of the royal oak. i think it's ugly.

Fair enough. That is what makes this "hobby" so interesting for some. I agree that some RO's can definitely be a little off the reservation.

I agree. For the money, I'd rather have a Vacheron Constantin Overseas.

There's no doubt Royal Oaks are FUGLY AF.

The overseas trumps it in every way imaginable.

Whoa whoa whoa.

The AP RO is a top tier watch. Simple beautiful. It's even better in person.



The AP RO Offshore is ugly. Like real bad.

If you like them, that's great. They just don't do anything for me. They look like a cheap watch

I have an ROO and it wears like a $400 watch. Literally cannot justify the price with the aethstetics.

I find the extremely hard to believe if you seen it in person and had it on your wrist. Do you fee the same way about the nautilus?

Unless you are about 5-6" and 150lbs, go with the 41mm.
Nonsense.

I'm 6'3" and a big dude, anything under 44mm looks like a ladies watch on my wrist.

Pretty much. Just not my style.

If you believe that then it eliminates 99% of the watches that are worth a damn.

Perfect, I'll buy it off of you for $500 then

Multiply that by 54 and you've got a deal.

This is much more my taste rather than the AP RO. Give me A Lange all day everyday. But I recognize that others might disagree.

Too much happening for me. I don't like most of the super high end watches, though.

I'd love an A. Lange & Sohne but that ain't the right one for me.

You want $27k for a watch that you described wears like a $400 watch? I take it you're not in sales

I was looking for something in the price range of a more standard Royal oak. But I like that busy look as well as it being something distinctive.

I'm not trying to sell it. And I am great in sales, which is why I have a 27k AP and not a Movado

That's amazing, but also a very dressy watch. Not sure it would get enough use on my wrist.

I have pink gold master as my dress watch.

I may eventually upgrade to the moon phase.

Looks like the 41s are going to be harder to come by than the 36s. Headed by the AD tomorrow if you want me to talk to them about any specifics.

FP Journe is just another level of watch. Unbelievable

That's pretty sharp. Not a fan of the blue leather though

Movados aren't for closers. They're for guys that do a good job of banging donors' wives.
