Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar For Only Watch 2017

just when i thought the ceramic RO PC couldn't get any better. Love the Blue Dial. Might have looked a tad better w/o white subdials and keeping it all blue, but i think it looks great.

Looks nice, but I think I prefer the stealthy look of the black dial.

Love the ceramic case back and not the regular titanium makes it really special as an only watch piece

Looks good, but not a big fan of the outer though (# of week, I suppose?)

I'm sure the blue will be darker like most navy AP dials, would be a big hit if so, shouldn't be too light on this stealth piece.

I'll reserve judgement till I see pictures of the actual watch. Right now like that, doesn't look so good.

love it. The Ceramic case back and PVD screws are also a nice touch. The SS or WG screws on an all black or even RG watch has always bothered me.

When this debuted at SIHH in January, I said it would look great on an all blue dial... our resident AP expert (you know who) said it would look like crap though.

Guess AP didn't get his memo.

Still looks like crap based on the pictures. I know I know.....you gotta get your daily mention of me in to start your day .

We'll see how it looks in person.

You haven't realized yet AP has made some watches that looked like ass, and still continue to do so?

It appears you have been elevated to "resident AP expert" instead of the "discount specialist". May i be the first to congratulate you on your long overdue promotion

never warmed up to this monochromatic all ceramic look, and this one off didn't change my opinion. Judging from the responses not many share my view.

Thank you . I wonder if I can change being called "you know who" to "he who must not be named".

It'll be in right about the time I finish up building my 5000' house on Spaulding Lake.
