14800BA Military Dial Incoming!

Hi All,

Happy to share my new acquisition. I haven't had an incoming in two years and I sold a few pieces since having a second child. But today I have an incoming to share. I've always been intrigued by the military dial on the Royal oak and was also in the market for a neo vintage precious metal piece. So the 14800ba accomplishes both of that. For those who aren't aware, the 14800 was the first and only Royal Oak offered with a strap only. I had a 15400st which I converted to an oem rubber strap so it I'm totally fine with that. I know others love the Royal Oak because of the beauty of the bracelet but I'm really digging the feel and look of this 14800ba on my wrist. I have a 15450st and I feel like the case is thicker than the older 36mm watches. I'll post a pic of the two side by side when I'm back in town.

it’s got a very unique look with the shortened case cause of the missing integrated lugs for the bracelet, never seen this model before but i like it! congrats!!

14800BA Military Dial Incoming!

Mine says hello

The 14800 is much thinner than the 15450 so wears very differently though diameter its close. It’s around 8mm which is jumbo thickness
