INCOMING!!! Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Ceramic...pinch me I am dreamin

Here it is Ladies and Gents, lost for words, it all happened so quickly, a passionate encounter, love at first sight, she said yes and now we are together! No I didn’t marry a stripper in Las Vegas, rather I was fortunate enough to take delivery of the latest RO DB Openworked Ceramic 15416CE.

A mesmerizing piece you literally cannot take your eyes off, a work of art on your wrist, a perfect balance of elegance and sportiness, simplicity and complexity, it has it all and I am so happy to share this with you, I am not the best photographer but will play around to give you a good feel for it.

I would like to say a massive thank you to the wonderful team at AP HK for taking such good care of me, these people are mega...

2020 was an insane year and I am going out with a bang!

Happy holidays to everyone and all the very best!

It looks perfect and stylish on your smart wrist shots!

In these strange days, I have forgotten what it's like to wear a decent white shirt and jacket!

Wow, wow, wow.

Very nice!

Out of curiosity, did you have to inquire about the model after it was announced or did they ask you if you wanted it?

I actually did send a casual little message to my contact saying that the watch was stunning and just joking I added put my name down. I didn’t have a straight forward answer to that and thought OK not going to happen anytime soon. The following week I tried on the prototype and that was when I was “offered” one. It really caught me by absolute surprise!
