The ginza 7 remains one of my favorite ROOs of all time. It has everything an ROO should possess: presence, comfort, a touch of bling and subtle magnificence. Congrats and wear it well.
i couldn’t agree more, extremely comfortable and as subtle as a roo can be😎

Where I need to be.
Thank you kindly good Sir. Simple B&W is quite flattering in this case. Pun intended ;)
The Royal Oak is a beautiful watch because it is simple and yet complex in its construction and design and your picture brings out the best in the watch, at least for me. Silver seems to be the least popular choice among the gen and rep collectors both but you seem to rock it very well. I have the gen silver 15500 in my collection which I hardly wear at all. Maybe I should give it a try again. Thank you for the inspiration.

Oh, you are too kind. I bet we know why silver isn't that popular among rep enthusiast ;) The choice here was always between sharpness of detail (ZF) or sunburst effect (the rest of the bunch, custom dials included), but we never get both. In order to do so one would need to shell out that 95% extra and go gen. Why is it with gen though, I cannot fathom. The brilliance of AP RO's silver dial has yet to meet it's worthy rival. Having said that, even though I've been into mechanical watches for better part of my life (longer than I would like to admit) , it was due AP RO silver dial I started to truly appreciate and understand white/silver dials as a daily must have. It's always been a high contrast (black or blue) dials for me. What's funny, all that visibility pales in strong sun in comparison to silver/white, which I now prefer.

And yes, AP RO design is one of the best, if not the best. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the way it catches the light, be it the dial or, better yet, the finest bracelet, puts it on top of the food chain for me. Recently I "discovered" AP 15026BA and my heat stopped for a second :D They knew how to dazzle with bracelet and dial before RO ;)
