New Release: BBR Perpetual Calendar

[Dodgie]

If you think you can, then you can. Like you mentioned this isn't about impressing anyone else.
Most guys look for tells in the watches they wear without realizing that the watch becomes a tell when it is on their wrists.
The attitude (and not the income) makes the watch believable. If one is overly concerned about tells on a rep watch costing a few hundred dollars, that alone is the wrong attitude IMHO.
Wear your watch well sir. It is well deserved!

I guess the impressing others part is especially a thing with APs having seen quite some hype in the last few years and being a bit more flashy.
Wanted to steer clear of APs for that reason, but the week of year complication in APs Perpetual Calenders really speaks to me

Regarding tells, I did show a friend who wore a gen Patek 5712 a PPF 5712 V1, which has countless big tells including only a decorated Hangzhou movement, a big gap between the dial and moonphase disc etc.
His response - Well, I did not notice them in comparison and even if I had, I would have thought this was just another model year

btw: While I just got into looking into APs because of the week of year complication - I might catch a bug here and I appreciate all you do in this section of the forum.

Do all the functions work on this one? Could they not make a code 11.59 perpetual using this movement?

Many of the functions work, but not all. I have the BBR green dial which I only wear on occasion, so this is mostly from memory, but the 52-week counter, month function, and of course leap year function have to be set manually. Everything else functions normally. Pretty amazing that they were able to modify the movement to do all that.

Not sure about the form factor of code 11.59 vs. this royal oak (you can probably just google the movement for both), but since the 4401 chrono movement is the same for the RO and 11.59 chronos, I would guess this movement could be shoehorned into 11.59.

If they actually made it.

Who would actually buy it.
Is the real question..

Mate. You'll be banned if you do this. I linked you the sales rules earlier. Attempting to solicit backdoor sales on the forum will result in a permanent ban.

Just follow the rules, process, and post the watch for sale, it's $35 to become a supporter, get certified, and sell your $500 watch.....

Short update on the Salmon Version from BBS:

The Salmon version is basically the rep of the 25674 steel version with the salmon dial inspired by the titanium limited edition 26615TI.
I got QC pics, and it looks like BBS is using closer to gen hands colors than two versions of BBR before.

Gen Hands:



QC from January 2024 (see this thread earlier) with Salmon colored subdial hands with white leap year hand:


QC Style Picture from BBR mid last year in promo pictures to dealers with silver hands and white leap year hand:


QC Pics I just got with silver hands combined with a black leap year hand:




As I was comparing to BBR Factory pictures, this new set of hands threw me of in the beginning, but pleased to see this.
Overall, BBS just seems to have picked up where BBR left things, which still leaves this with a couple of instant tells. But we got one less for a unicorn of a unicorn watch that will never see much popularity and distribution, resulting in overall less scrutiny. Even more so with their new iteration just unveiled.

This is my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26615 Salmon Dial - from BBR as a point of reference... its great although a bit big for my wrist tbh
