First of all... NICE PHOTOS!

 
 By: patrick_y : July 21st, 2020-11:24
Awesome! Cool! And nice picture of the shark!

Thank you Sire Patrick, hopefully pics were better than boutique.

I'm sure you can do a lot of things better than the boutique can!

 
 By: patrick_y : July 21st, 2020-14:07
Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if you knew more about the technical details about the watch than an average watch boutique employee. Most of them are not technically inclined.

The job isn't easy, but the job description doesn't necessarily have extremely high traditional requirements...

 
 By: patrick_y : July 21st, 2020-15:28
The job really requires the ability to forge connections with other human beings and to engage them in a way to sell products; I don't think a bachelors degree is required. Probably the only technical requirements for a sales employee are the ability to u... 

These are interesting points you make..

 
 By: K-Lo : July 21st, 2020-15:42
Due to the nature and lack of requirement of certain sophisticated skills, and I would imagine not the best pay. Yes, I am not sure that you can expect much from these SA. But as you stated, there can be a big benefit from being an SA, like the clients yo... 

Funny story - As it turns out pay doesn't always.... pay....

 
 By: Fastwong : July 21st, 2020-16:49
In my unfortunate time in retail strategy we ran a test to see if we could up our associate quality of service and retention by simply paying more. Seems obvious right? We went upwards of $50 / hour to attract what were on paper more highly educated and h... 

This is great analysis..

 
 By: K-Lo : July 21st, 2020-16:54
And wow, 50/hr to be a SA? I would do that part time selling watches. But I get you, more than pay, like appreciation, investment into the SA, among other like factors.

I guess Per Sire Andy (fastwong)

 
 By: K-Lo : July 21st, 2020-18:20
His associates did a test with that high of an hourly rate.

$50 /hr salary, no commission...

 
 By: Fastwong : July 21st, 2020-19:25
Totally, super high. We just did it as a test. We used to run a lot of test for brands as part of our innovation and store operations practice. Luxury brands are almost all commission based and the associates hop between them based on which brands have th... 

Definitely very high. [nt]

Any pics of the backside?

 
 By: patrick_y : July 21st, 2020-11:30
Watch looks good!

I need to look at the backside, how do I take off a NATO??

 
 By: K-Lo : July 21st, 2020-11:35
I think the green is good too. My wife said thank god it doesn’t look expensive or else someone would try to rob you, WTF, 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣

Figured it out, wouldn’t have minded a hand

 
 By: K-Lo : July 21st, 2020-12:16
Engraved shark, oh well.. ...  

Looks good!

 
 By: patrick_y : July 21st, 2020-13:01
Beautiful movement finishing, especially for a true sports watch! AP's Royal Oak is not a true sports watch as the watch's puny 60m water resistance can't even do snorkeling without some risk.

Congrats on the new watch! Love the movement side shots

 
 By: Fastwong : July 21st, 2020-17:43
No date 1315, the ultimate luxury sports watch movement!

Thank you Sire Andy!!!

Thank you, glad you like it Sire!

Hoping you will see or have seen, your wife/family soon.

Thanks for asking. That’s so kind of you

 
 By: Jurry : July 21st, 2020-12:00
And the good news is: coming Sunday I’m flying to Amsterdam and will see my wife again for the first time since march 8.

That’s so great!!!!

 
 By: K-Lo : July 21st, 2020-12:03
Happy for you, this pandemic has forced many of us into seclusion!!! But I am glad about this.

Yes

I think you may have misinterpreted my words or I have written them wrongly. I’m finally flying home to see my wife again after 4,5 months. And we were discussing which watches I should bring with. And I will definitely bring the 1921 with me (after all w...

Yes, I would stick

 
 By: K-Lo : July 22nd, 2020-06:25
With the 1921 and OS. Leave everything else in the safe, that way you are covered for the Board room and the Bar. Leave the big gun at home, I personally, would only pull that out for a special occasion. But that is just me.

Appreciate our agreement

 
 By: K-Lo : July 22nd, 2020-06:44
Here Sire. Please take some pics if you can, would like to live through you vicariously!

Appreciate that!!

I really like it, not the most flashy, but still

Luxurious, in its own understated, way.

Thank you Dear Ed, that you find it special, makes

Appreciate you boosting ego Dear Ed

I need to remember that about ceramic, thankfully, I don’t plan on doing anything hardcore wirh it on. So my main issue would be the accidental drops you speak of.

Well Done You!

Looks like a terrific acquisition. You easily captured that amazing dial. Wear in the best of health.

The dial does seem to be special, trying to keep my health here, πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰

Thanks for the daylight photos, good to see what it looks like under the sun.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : July 21st, 2020-16:18
It does seem like a nice combination, case and dial/bezel. And the lack of a date is a big win in my opinion. Look forward to seeing some wrist shots in the coming weeks and months.

I will do my best to post more shots of it..

 
 By: K-Lo : July 21st, 2020-16:19
What green high end sneakers do you suggest?

You sure are making up for the quality with the quantity. ;-) Just kidding! Congrats on the acquisition!

 
 By: countzero : July 21st, 2020-18:00
Nice to see lots of photos posted. The green dial looks superb. And the movement is not bad either!

Haha, no worries, I need to work

 
 By: K-Lo : July 21st, 2020-18:17
On my photographing, Dear Nico suggests I get a Leica, I’ll have to save a little money first. I really adore the green dial, def better in person, sunburst is awesome.

Looks better in your pics

 
 By: Cookies : July 21st, 2020-18:09
The green is a mysterious colour. Very handsome piece!

The green dial is great Sire, I think

It’s a handsome piece too, I see you changed your avatar, any reason?

No particular reason

 
 By: Cookies : July 21st, 2020-18:42
The old avatar has been collecting dust, so I changed it. Kinda makes sense, cuz it is a parody of the amount of screentime we are stuck with in this era.

Uggh β€œscreen time,” don’t remind me!

Yes!! I think, as is the case, with many understated pieces, you must see them in person to appreciate the small intricate details. In this case, how the black brushed finish interplays with the sunburst green dial. Magnifico. It is truly something specia...
