Is it more beautiful in the flesh

I am thinking of purchasing a Royal Oak 155000 I have seen photos but yet to see or try one

It’s a stunner in real life. The way the bracelet shines and the dial looks in various light is pretty amazing

Haha. But yes to OP, more beautiful in the metal than I imagined. Bracelet is sublime. 41mm is perfect, dial is very clear, and I’m a 6.25inch wrist.

The only one I’ve tried on is the grey dial 15500 and that is stunning, some people here are capturing the beauty of the watch really well with their photos. Choosing between blue and grey dials is tough.

Absolutely. Nothing beats handling the case and bracelet in natural light. I've never seen anything like it in terms of finishing.

Yeah ive only owned the watch for two days so obviously still honeymoon, but ive never seen anything like it. I love the dial, the bracelet is beautiful but also thick and robust certainly doesnt feel dainty. I havent seen brushed finish shine like it does. It isnt just the polished surfaces that reflect light. The tolerances on the bracelet are very exact. Just really a special piece IMO
