Where I need to be.
⬆️ gen photos for reference of black rotor
You’re correct the rotor on the 26240CE is black (pvd gold). Only royal oaks released in 2022 has the white gold 50th anniversary rotor but I think this model exists only from 2023 onward. I’m not sure when the ceramic model was released though.

The ceramic one is a thing of beauty…do I need a new watch after buying 3 last month? Of course not - but look at it. It frickin gorgeous. Besides, Bitcoin had another lovely little rally today, so it’s technically free right? At least that’s what I’ll tell the wife.
Ordered.

Does anyone think the frosted gold gen AP looks ugly AF? Despite costing more than steel. They did their best shot with the steel and the gold ones have a horrendous ugly finish.

You can’t beat the brushed steel finish. Even thee blinged out ones are even uglier.

Basically nothing to look forward to beyond this release of 5 watches. Done and done. Which is sad 😞

Your post kinda ended there on a dumb note but on that first bit, yeah, the frosted ones look pretty shit, like a Christmas tree ornament.

Gold watches in general don’t really do it for me. Some exceptions can be made for dress watches but once you get to frosted gold I’m way out. I can’t imagine wearing one of my career wasn’t rapper or mlb/nba/football player.

Add in the fact that rep factories never seem to get the playing right and I think you would need to be very dedicated to a particular aesthetic to even think about getting one.

I’m happy with the current line up of chronos. The black ceramic is definitely a very cool option for people who are looking for something a little bit exotic.

Im a huge fan of ceramic, especially black. Hard to scratch, hard to ignore.

Ive witheld from 41 royal oaks until now. according to T Mosso I have nothing to worry about. My pinky toe is a good fit. Cant wait.

I’m torn between the blue and the white. Someone help me decide.
Bro, how can somebody help you?
No one has see the blue one, and the white one was seen only as pictures. So read the old threads and have a mind how the factorys are with the colors.

Bonjour,

savez-vous si APSF va sortir d'autres couleurs de cadrans (panda....etc...) ?
Et si il existe des APSF en ou en tungstène (gains de poids) ?

Merci

First of all: This is an English speaking board ;-)
To answer your questions ...
Bonjour,

This is a Rep of the 26240 and there is no Panda etc. yet released from AP for this reference.
Et si il existe des APSF en ou en tungstène (gains de poids) ?
Why? The 26240 models, APS will release, are steel and ceramic models. So there is no need for a "gain weight" version. You can ask this question again, when APS releases the golden 26240OR models in the future.


s'il vous plaît ;-)

@SHB can speak pretty good French. It comes with the territory of being French.
So bro can you help me out please to reply to this and then, at the risk of sounding demanding and entitled, translate your reply to the perfect English you also happen to speak, for the benefit of us all? :ROFLMAO:
