First dip yes...

Then second dip a little bit less. And the third, well it is getting easier.

But I'm not nearly as courageous as another collector who places his Patek PCC underwater wink

Nice to have a screw down crown...I\'m seriously thinking about some snorkeling? ...  

But you’ve got a hole in the dial….

Great watch mate.

Ha nice one!!!

 
 By: pfang56 : December 20th, 2021-08:54
I've always admired the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms with the Tourbillon - wondering if this will perform as well? Cheers Peter

Ha! Or a giant piece of duct tape...

Cheers Peter

Will definitely try to post some in some local snorkeling...

Titanium makes me even more comfortable to try Cheers Peter

Anxiety lol

Wow I didn't notice that until you pointed it out!

Not a reflection of a float or a real alligator - but a very random pattern in the pool. Great eyesight! Cheers Peter

what is the wr on that tourbillon?

 
 By: shafran : December 20th, 2021-09:50
Looks amazing.

It is 50M...

 
 By: pfang56 : December 20th, 2021-15:54
And the screw down crown helps the security factor. Hoping less than 1M of water won't make a difference. Cheers Peter

Thank you!!

Hoping to snorkel around the reef with it! Will try to post.. Cheers Peter

You are a wise man

Wise or dumb?

 
 By: pfang56 : December 20th, 2021-15:58
I guess I will find out soon...separately, sometimes I question my own judgement to get a Tourbillon when other complications have similar chronometry. But it's so damn cool - it's like getting a feature for feature's sake. Cheers Peter

Oh it's definitely a feature for feature's sake.

 
 By: blau : December 20th, 2021-16:44
Justified by its intricate beauty! The wisdom, though, is in your willingness to bring that precious watch with you wherever you go!

Thank you for your feedback!

 
 By: pfang56 : December 20th, 2021-16:01
I am trying to wear watches as much as possible! Cheers Peter

The Maldives?🤔

 
 By: myles721 : December 20th, 2021-12:37
Alright Peter I’m not gonna lie, this hurts! 😆

Yes, definitely fortunate to travel....

 
 By: pfang56 : December 20th, 2021-16:02
We feel fortunate to be able to travel to the Maldives. Hope you and yours have an excellent and safe holiday, wherever that may be in the world Cheers Peter

In a way this can be viewed as very daring. But given it’s a new watch, it either lives up to its WR rating or it doesn’t.

 
 By: BigAppleBill : December 20th, 2021-16:29
I’m not sure if I would try this because I have enough dive watches for such activities. But if it’s adequately WR rated, then I suppose why not? Most importantly it’s good to see you’re enjoying your watch!

Yes, I do have a few dive watches…

 
 By: pfang56 : December 20th, 2021-18:00
And those I do try my best to use under operating conditions to the best of my diving skills, which so far is limited to 30m! But, as with the entire collection, I always feel the need to find ways to “justify” the expense - and perhaps wearing these watc...

Than a screw down crown is a good feature. I do not want it, but some watches in my collection came with it. Not expected, my RT came with a screw down crown. Is it bad? No, it was a surprise for sure. ...  

Helps a lot...

 
 By: pfang56 : December 22nd, 2021-03:02
I can imagine with screw threads and rubber stoppers helps with the protection... Cheers Peter

Will do thanks for noting!

 
 By: pfang56 : December 22nd, 2021-03:02
Switched watches today but may find time... Cheers Peter

No hesitation getting that one wet!

 
 By: MichaelC : December 22nd, 2021-03:18
Love it.

Indeed! Here's another one just for you...

 
 By: pfang56 : December 22nd, 2021-05:00
This one has less WR but small pool wear has so far not affected the watch... Cheers and have a great holiday!! Peter ...  

You do know AP makes a few dive watches, yes??

 
 By: MichaelC : December 22nd, 2021-13:48
;-) Wow Peter, I believe this is the first and only ceramic perpetual Royal Oak to get below a water line. I have full admiration that you enjoy all of your beauties as you wish... no sitting unworn in a bank vault. That is how to do it.

Ha ha yes...I've been awaiting some Diver with a ceramic bezel...

 
 By: pfang56 : December 23rd, 2021-03:19
But it so far went on a white gold model! Trying to be somewhat practical with my AP purchases (if there is such a thing) by thinking about the wearability, but the minute they come out with a diver in a titanium case, ceramic bezel, I would be all over t... 

Great pic

I have done the same with my VC overseas tourbillon to the dismay of my wife, I must say your watch is fantastic!

And your watch is phenomenal!!

 
 By: pfang56 : December 23rd, 2021-03:26
I have a hard time thinking of a better blue dial than the one on your VC OS Tourbillon. And an extraordinary movement with a totally unique rotor implementation really enables the full view of the artistry and craftsmanship of the watch. Man, if I wasn't...
