A pair of vintage Royal Oaks (5402ST & unidentified ladies "Jumbo"). Modern Burner!

Hi guys,

I am really smitten by the looks of the original Royal Oak designed by Gerald Genta. The shiny small textured hobnail dial looks just like a shiny piece of gemstone, very different from the new Royal Oaks we see today.

Just took some photos to share mine and my wife's (apparently she doesn't know how rare her is)

Anyone has any knowledge of my wife's model? It is a B Serial and is equipped with a very small automatic movement. Any comment, or information greatly appreciated. It appears that this is much rarer than my 5402. I haven't seen this around, especially a ladies RO with an automatic movement.

Please excuse me for the quick shots:

Oh, why is my 5402 without a bracelet? I was ultrasonic cleaning it and took it off when I was shooting shots of it.

Want more pictures of the 5402st? Here you go:

Hmmm, is it really a slate grey dial? Looks blue, grey, navy blue, silver, argh... I give up... I am seeing stars now.

This is the before pictures of the 5402 before it is going on a long spa vacation to Switzerland. Bon voyage and I will show more pictures when he is back from his (V pricey) spa!

Hope you enjoy the shots.

That is very interesting. Yes, I totally understand where you are coming from since I do have a humble experience and particular keen interest in collecting vintage watches. It does needs a servicing as I would like the bezel to be replaced. And a mechani...
