Incoming 14790st

After a couple of months reading up, I took the plunge and got this 36mm Royal Oak 14790st dated in the late 90s. The slim profile and 36mm size fits perfect for my tiny 15cm (6inch) wrist. Saw this example being sold by a dealer in Netherlands and did my due diligence. Wired my money over (without escrow and only based on trust!) and waited patiently for my watch to arrive.

It’s a well worn watch with scratches on the bezel but at least I can wear it without much worries. The very dark blue dial can turn black or grey depending on lighting conditions.

Did not expect this 36mm to fit well!

Anyone from Netherlands here? The servicing records is from Mahlberg dated 2016. Are they a AD for AP?

6” wrist! So small, crazy. Anyway, looks great on you. If you enjoy watch’s the way we’re supposed to then they all and up with scratches so I wouldn’t worry about it - enjoy!
