Pics of my AP MBK Royal Oak Jumbo

[Kollektor]

I've always loved this watch, but it's been a tough one to photograph properly. Took a break from work, threw on the SB600 and took a few snaps with my D70. I felt they captured the essence of the Royal Oak better than other pics I've taken. It would look better in natural light, but it's evening.

This particular model is the MBW/MBK Royal Oak Jumbo with Swiss 2836. I opted for the solid caseback which is inaccurate for the model. The reason for this is that the display caseback showing the movement is an immediate tell.

Interesting features on this watch:

1) Genta design -- the bracelet glitters at different angles due to polished edges

2) The dial appears to be a waffle, but it actually has radiating concentric circles that catch light nicely

3) Very low profile -- feels like a very expensive watch.

I'm guesstimating that she's about 39mm. Small for some, but it's a dress watch for me. I'm not put off by smaller watches.

Standard rep lume. 4 second charge, handheld camera.

Thanks for looking.

I wonder why this one does not exist in quartz. Seems an obvious one.

not a recent purchase at all. She just silently graces my watchbox each day. Got it from paso way back when. Don't think he's around anymore

Too bad for the screws golden

I don't understand why the producers forget the details so simple to replicate

Sorry for my poor English

I had one from Paso, too, but I stupidly sold it It's a real beauty, and in person, it "wears" like a much larger watch.
