[WalterW]

No idea if this ones been posted here before but I was wondering how one would go about Acquiring an amazing piece such as this day date. I’m assuming youd have to be best buddies with an oil baron in Dubai or something

It has been posted before. If you look at the owner’s Instagram profile you’ll see he has quite a number of exclusive off catalog pieces. That particular model is only available for the Middle East market and select clients, of course.

It’s also platinum if I’m not mistaken. A beauty for sure.

Something about Arabic dials

Very nice looking watch.

[watchwatcher]

As much as I like it, I don't think I could get used to what looks like a '7' being at the six o'clock marker.

I could give it a try, though.

[IamJacky]

what a beauty!

[Farsh14]

lol correct literally every owner of thst watch is an oil Barron

[Ferdelious]

The green dial/platinum watch looks amazing.

I must ask what is people's fascination with Arabic dials? Surely you wouldn't have a clue whether the day or date is set correctly if you don't speak the language? Not sure I see the point in having it over English or whichever language you do speak

Different languages are beautiful! And wristwatches are no longer really practical. They're primarily Jewelry. Also, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to learn another languages days of the week, or numbers, if you really want to.

Well first of all, Arabic individuals are hundred of millions. So there is a market I would say.

Then if you consider the many individuals who speak and read the language without being Arabic, you have even more people interested.

For those with no clue about the language, I understand it’s a bit exotic. But anybody can retain 7 words and 12 numbers, can’t they.

Or it's the timepiece equivalent of the White guys who get Chinese or Japanese character tattoos without having a clue what they mean, because they "look cool" (even though they could easily say "I cut off my own genitals" along with a samurai sword, and the guy would have no idea).

Believe it or not, there are lots of people that genuinely appreciate and find beautiy in different cultures, people, and languages.

A watch vs a tattoo is a vastly different thing.

This might come as a surprise to you, but cultures are things to be shared and enjoyed.

I think you may have misinterpreted my post. I was pointing out the similarities in getting something that “looks cool and foreign” when you have no true appreciation for it and can’t be bothered to develop one.

Of course the two are different but there are similarly ignorant reasons many might get either.

This was my thought as well. Can't be hard to learn the days and numbers of another language. That took about 1 week in Spanish class back in 6th grade.

[Polarexplorerii]

it is a beauty, just like on the Platona

[prnceofpersia23]

Love these dials! Fitting for my user name, just not my wallet

[Vince_76]

[JSolution]
