Royal Oak perpetual calendar squelette,a personal horological achivement.
That's how I see it. The opportunity came along ,I didn't think much but those days were long and a little painful as I had to make a quick move. I usually take my time ,I ve learnt that compulsive buys are not good and that usually my guts are right,whet...
Couldn't say it better.
This is also an important piece, in my heart. But now, youn raise a question: What will happe, to your RO Skeleton, I mean the no perpetual calendar one? This one is, in my opinion, a killer watch which may well kill your RO skeleton, too. One of my 3 fav...
As I wrote Nico I gave that one in..
I had to make the sacrifice,for sure,I didn t feel I could keep 2 RO skeletons,even if i enjoyed it a lot. This is different though a very different watch. What are your other 2 fav perp? Let me guess..VC Sq and.....can t guess the otherone(I am not count...
Logical decision, I missed that part of your post.
As for the other perpetual calendars, a Vacheron, for sure, skeleton ( Patrimony ) or not ( Perpetual Calendar Chrono from the ES Series ). And I still hesitate between two others, the UN Perpetual, the friendliest I know, and the JLC Skeleton 8 Days, for...
I don t really know Nico
this I don t know ,but if it was..thats why I like it so much....even more mo
I believe that the 2120 came from JLC Cal 920.
Nothing downgrading here, for sure. Best, Nicolas
No, you are not wrong
but correct like too often. The base cal. is JLC based. Best, Kari
What more can I say on this beauty....
apart from it looks great on my wrist too..!! Congrats again Mo...you know I didn't notice once last Sat that it wasn't set to the correct time I only noticed when I looked at the pics when I got home. I think that says it all about it's beauty. See you s...
A pleasure Andy..
we'll meet soon again....Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the post. Mo
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!
WHAT A FANTASTIC WATCH! And what a co-insidence. I just came home from UPS because I could not wait for home delivery... I picked up a normal poor man's Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar I have dreamed about for a long long time. It will be a perfect pair to m...
a normal poor man's Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar ,there is not such a thing!
Well,its Giulio Papi s personal watch,so you picked up a real treasure....can t wait to see some pics next to the other Gentas complicated watch and a couple of extra shots by itself.What coulor dial did you get? Thanks Kari,appreciate it Mo
Tanks Mo.
I found a new specimen with white dial and right price. At the moment I'm having a Family Conference with my wife Darja. We will fly on Friday to Geneva and I must decide should I change the dial to the grayish blue. What is your opinion? Best, Kari
I always like to keep the watches as i find them..
there is something strange about changing the dial if not necessary. I likethe white dial a lot it gives it a touch of sobriety and elegance whereas the blue dial makes it look more sporty...you can t go wrong with either but if it was mine i would keep i...
Congratulations, Mo!
Well, this is one of the most beautiful perpetual calendars around. As I feared, the 15305 was sacrificed, but I can completely understand your reasoning. While you say your collection is small, I say it is dazzling. Best my friend, respo
Thank you Respo,
I really appreciate your input my friend. Some sacrifices are worth doing,in this case I am sure I did the right thing.The watch hasn t left my wrist since I got it ..just in time to see its behaviour with the leap year..... Best Respo Mo
Congratulations, Mo.
I can feel the love just by staring at your photos. The post of a dream comes true is what I truly love about this forum. You been having home run ever since. Your DB25 still haunt me every night when I stare up to the moon. Enjoy your watch PS: With all ...
Ahh subliminal messages!!!What do you mean???
Ha haa thats funny....well thats another story.... Thank you Tyler for the nice words,I hope to be able to meet you soon,we have a couple of Euro GTGs coming up so.... Mo
Subliminal? NO, I am just being subtle. LOL
About la tentatrice rosso, a close friend of mine warn me not to step into the JLC boutique when it arrive. He claim it! He's not a red color man but he completely fall under its spell after seeing it. Need I say more About the GTG, this year is bad for m...
Redheads are dangerous my friend..
they might tempt you and you might fall......willingly......finger crossed for the gtg Tyler

What can I say...
The Steel Royal Oak Skeleton Perpetual Calendar is my absolute favorite Royal Oak. I truly can't think of another Royal Oak I like more. I can't even think of any Gerald Genta ship's porthole watch (mainly encompassing the Royal Oak and the Nautilus) that...

Congrats Mo!
Sublime watch and it's complimetary with your De Bethune. In the site the movement isn't skeletonised. Is yours a special order? Platinum or steel by the way? Aris This message has been edited by aridim1 on 2012-03-13 00:51:53
