The fountain is amazing, one of the most interesting modern ones I've seen, personally I have more respect for historical ones such as Trevi, Cibeles, etc, but it is true that the Burj one is a fine piece of art and engineering, I love the water drops choreography that even follows a tempo and creates some kind of "music" when splashing!!
A few weeks have passed since I parted away with the 15202OR and I can now surely say at the ST version Is just what I need for a royal oak, nothing more and nothing less!!
Cheers,

...So this is good-bye
A fellow purist mentioned it sometime ago: the feeling is not that great when selling your watches, the good ones at least. But I guess there are some conditions under which the pain becomes more bearable. I bought this watch together with its SS brother ...
No reason to be sad, choices are mandatory, and sacrifices, sometimes.
Here, the sacrifice is all relative since you keep the stainless steel one and that you are not a colored gold guy. And that will allow you to fund a more much desirable Watch! So, no need to be sad. Le Roi est mort, Vive le Roi! ;) Best, Nicolas
Very true Nico!
Like all elements in the universe, nothing gets lost, it only transforms into something else ;)
I'm sure we have all been there...
I too have sold watches I absolutely loved but ended up not wearing. This passion is an interesting one; we learn so much as we go, and the best way to learn is through experience. Your photos are great and I am glad you shared them. Also, as Nicolas says...
Thanks for sharing...
A kind of semi sweet beautiful story... thanks for sharing. I must say the RG + blue dial is drop dead gorgeous. Perhaps it would have been a little more versatile on a strap, but then, the AP demands full metal! Looking forward to seeing what takes its p...
How do you manage ….
…… in the midst of bidding farewell with this watch, and yet be able to take such great pictures. Does photography comes with watch collecting ??
No regrets!
I too had sold a watch or too that I loved. But if you are not wearing it saw I wasn't, then it is silly to keep. A watch is meant to be on the wrist, not loved from afar. I am sure its replacemen(s) will make you much happier!
Well
I thought why not keep some nice souvenir-pictures of it before letting it go?! ;)
My father always told me to not be attached to "toys".
Because we do not need them and they are only things. Look forward to your future watch endevors. Best, JerryW
I am loving my steel version more each day!
So easy to wear, and yet so classy, so purely perfect... No other watch is like this. And, most importantly for a daily wearer supposed to live with you: --> the more tiny scratches it has, the less shiny the polished surfaces get, ...the SEXIEST it be...

Now that you mention it...
I too went through something similar. By Christmas 2011 I purchased my very first AP - a 15300ST, Royal Oak with black dial (which I still have to this day) and then in February 2012 (just a few months later) added the 15300OR in Rose Gold, with the white...
