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.

These are interesting points you make..

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...

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.
$50 /hr salary, no commission...

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...

Happy for you, this pandemic has forced many of us into seclusion!!! But I am glad about this.
Yes

And you know my collection haha so any suggestions are welcome. The 1921 will come thatβs for sure. I was thinking to bring the OS as well but Iβm afraid my son will then definitely steal it. The big gun the Traditionelle Perp Calendar Chrono is bit too r...

I think you may have misinterpreted my words or I have written them wrongly. Iβm 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 need to remember that about ceramic, thankfully, I donβt plan on doing anything hardcore wirh it on. So my main issue would be the accidental drops you speak of.
Well Done You!
By: farkbinder01212 : July 21st, 2020-15:01
Looks like a terrific acquisition. You easily captured that amazing dial. Wear in the best of health.
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, Iβll have to save a little money first. I really adore the green dial, def better in person, sunburst is awesome.
No particular reason

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.
Congrats
By: Rcgoddu : July 22nd, 2020-06:05
That green dial is explosive!
Thank you Dearly, Sire, yes
By: K-Lo : July 22nd, 2020-06:28
Dial has to be the best part, and the no date coming in at 2nd (looking at you! Dear Counselor Nico!!!).
Good points, and yes!
By: K-Lo : July 22nd, 2020-07:23
Forgot that Gucci and green, are, for better or worse, synonymous.
Thank you Good Sire Andy.
By: K-Lo : July 22nd, 2020-08:22
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...
i think this watch is gorgeous

removal of the date on the full size bathyscaphe is truly a game changer. ever since i sold my steel bathy I have been wanting to replace it with the ceramic / blue dial - not having a date is really a tipper for me (I only wear the watch occasionally and...
Thank you so much Sire Stabilizer!!!
By: K-Lo : July 27th, 2020-12:26
Yes, I had the blue dial in grey ceramic. I loved loved loved the piece, I felt the grey ceramic showed the finishing very well. I ended up selling it, kept thinking about it though, almost bought it again grey market for a good price. While I paid a real...
