That is an awesome piece @t_swiss_t !

I have a 36mm 56023st, which is an early quartz version. One of my most comfortable watches to wear and is very thin!

I think it looks great, I have about an 18cm wrist, but like smaller looking watches hence the focus on vintage!

 

I love the 14790. My favorite is the military dial with the very unique sweep seconds hand. You see many Royal Oaks that look similar, and then there is that one which totally stands out.

My advice for those considering the 14790 - just be careful about the AP logo clasp on some of the later run versions. It is extremely uncomfortable (to most people including me).

 

I have 7.25 wrists, am 6'4" ... and have come to absolutely HATE big watches. My first two acquisitions were a Rolex Deepsea and a Datograph, to give you any idea. Quickly flipped.

Personally I think the drive for larger watches is because, with people dressing more casually, a watch is one of the last places to "flex" from a fashion standpoint. But I still wear sportcoats and OCBDs and the like.

But, anyway, I love the 14790 (and am SUPER jealous of the one t_swiss_t has)

 

I think it looks perfect on your wrist. Great size great watch.

 

My 14790 says hi!

 

Looks like there's one being auctioned at Christies. I like the estimate

 

14790 is a value buy if you want to get a royal Oak!

 

14790 klein is my grail Can't wait to own one some day

 

I have the 14790ST, with the 'short index' hour indices, bought 5y ago thankfully before the prices went nuts. Wears nicely on a 6.3" wrist.

 

When is this auction? I don’t see it in the Christie’s calendar?

 

Oh wait, I see it now!

 

I know you just got it, but if you have any regrets and change your mind, dibs!

 

Have wanted one of these for years, remember when they were like 10K. Still kinda of niche it seems tho, talk to a guy with a 15202 on his wrist about these and its blank stares.

 

that tropical dial, sure makes a big difference on this Royal Oak, it's very unique.

 

I love my 41mm chrono. It wears very well and extremely comfortable.

 

Oh hey there...

 

That looks really sharp! Been debating an AP; too pricey for me at the moment, but maybe in the future.
