First Foray into High-end Horology

Jun 26, 2011,09:37 AM
 

My first AP...
An ever elusive RO Jubilee...
One with extremely limited info on the internet...

Thank you all for educating me in one way or another the beauty of the RO jumbo, cal. 2121, and its absolute worthiness as the first (or even the only) AP watch.

Enjoy the striptease smile

















Yes, it's the SALMON!
or Copper dial, or Orange dial... whatever you name it smile



And lastly, a wrist shot... Does it match my skin tone?
I felt naked...



Cheers!
Wayne

I love, love, love the salmon dialed Jubilee. Adn this one is in such beautiful condition...and complete! The Jubilee is so nice for many reasons as it was the transitional piece between the old solid casebacks and the 15202 with the new dial. The first R...

I'm really overjoyed by this special RO Jubilee with such extraordinary dial. The experience of owning this piece is escalated by the completeness of the whole package in mint condition. Now the only question is, will it be my only AP ??? Maybe in the sho...

I love, love that oak box!

Do the modern day Royal Oaks come with boxes made of oak wood? The current watch boxes are some darker wood with a gloss finish. Is it oak?

Oak Box

Thanks for dropping by! The octagonal oak box is very nicely crafted I too am interested to know if the modern boxes with glossy finishing are made of oak?

Thanks all...
