Back view is still the sex. Love this mini rotor movement than the big rotor.

For those with kids, this might help in explaining why "some of their gifts disappeared this year".

Turns out Santa's not the safest flyer. :s13:

Hi need the help of watch experts here.

Watching TV (yeah. I know, my Christmas very boring :D) and saw this host wear a Chronograph. Can help identify it?

Best screen cap I could get, sadly.

Thanks very much. Some checks later, it is a real 26300 Royal Oak Chronograph. This colour combination has been discontinued on the later model, so had trouble tracking it down.

Further research, learnt two things.

1. Japan is dead big on AP watches (not surprisingly, the other one the celebs like to wear is... the Rolex)

2. This guy is one of Japan's top 15 best paid hosts on TV. His partner even more of a watch nut. Every episode of this show, he wears something different (never twice the same watch), but even harder to cap.

Once again, Thanks!

It's a different kind of Christmas for my boy. First time bringing him out on charity work. Instead of receiving presents, this morning he packed and distributed packets of food for old folks. He asked a question when we were distributing the packets, "Nobody should live alone, why are these people living alone?"
