50th anniversary RO with a powerful black dial, and getting it just in time to wear it to the 50th exhibition at the West Kowloon Art Pavillion !  Naturally I was over the moon in wearing this piece to the exhibition.

Prior to attending the event, we visited the new Palace Museum next to the exhibition.  I had to take wrist shots with the museum in the background, while inside we saw some amazing art works (brought from Beijing's Palace Museum to Hong Kong) which are over 500 years old !

For the RO exhibition, there was an AP collector who played piano which was connected to a device that blew wind to move a curtain based on the music played. Furthermore, Swiss images were projected on the moving curtain.  It was very neat how they did it !  There was an interactive display that provided different sounds based on what I touched.  Additionally, quite a few 50th anniversary pieces were shown in display cases.

Overall it was a fun and informative experience !  

Which of the 50th watch(es) do you like ? 



lovely weather for museum and then 50th RO event

The RO green giant ! Or is it green with envy ? smile





The blue contrasts well with the pink gold case and bracelet






The light blue IMO is unisex





The blue dial is so great  !  Looks brighter than the previous version under the spot light







Gold with steel is also nice

The beauty and strength of the AP black dial is so much more in reality than what pictures shows.

Yes AmiseE ! You are spot on about the black dial.
