Yes, the Reverso now has automatic movements too. I prefer mine which is hand wound.

If you like complications there are a few choice but in my opinion, the dress watch should be as minimal as possible. Too austere for some...but that's me :)

Agreed. Dress watch is something that that you will not wear so often so a manual wound watch is still a better choice IMO. The JLC Reverso Grande Ultra Thin is certainly a watch that I would acquire in my collection.

Ya that will be good. But I am hunting for the 26300ST probably the panda or the blue dial. Royal Oak Chronograph at 39mm. Very hard to find.

Is this a blue face or is it the angle?

Its blue face. It is the angle and lighting.

Hmmm.. that tray very familiar. You somewhere in Far East Plaza?

Stir some ****. Here's me trying on the black face on. And a comparison shot with the Daytona.

Introducing my recent hoot

85030ec5_italy.jpeg

My apologise for the messy montage. The watch isn't at it's full glory yet as the stickers are still there. Damn, find it really hard to remove them.

Removing it means exposing the beautifully polished bezel to the elements. Sure wears better then my previous ROO sitting at 41mm as oppose to 42mm.

9530519

I opted to go for the leather strap. I hope the picture justify why I chose the leather. Anyway comes originally with the rubber strap and an additional alligator strap.

When I handle the strap, the first thing that struck me and my immediate response to the dealer, "WOW" why does the strap feels so different from the rubber on the ROO.

The softness of the rubber strap feels just like silicon unlike the rubber strap from the ROO which feels rugged and hard. This watch is just perfect for me in every sense.

even the smallest detail like when the fully close crown, the initials AP sits flush, not slanted. The leather really compliments the elegance of it's design.





Yup, really a sexy piece and i'll definitely miss it. It was a reluctant sale but I needed funds for my purchase. And the 176 wasn't really a full set and it was a '05 piece. I guess I would have to let it go and maybe purchase 1 at full set later... Currently I have no more pams in my collection. Use to owned the Pam 89, 424 and the 176.

Problem with new piece (or pre-owned too for that matter) is availability.

But having said that, everything can be available at a price. You can ask some of these shops to source BNIB grey piece for you. Blue dial will match your EEA blue leather shoes LOL

Good luck!

The same shop has a brand new grey piece for the blue dial as well. But he is looking for local piece.

Really a stunning piece. Too bad it's a limited edition which would mean a very high price for it. More than $35k?
Personally I prefer if it's hornback leather

Going alone to such long Q eateries has its advantages at times...
