Royal Oak 40th anniversary book

Anyone know where I might get one? Or does anyone have an extra they wouldn't mind selling?

Is this book worth buying? They cover only Royal Oak line in the book or there is also parts with Offshore models?

For fans of the Royal Oak it's a good book, I imagine anyone else would find it boring.

In that case I'm happy to start a bidding war on my copy.

2 of the 3 ship from the US... the third one is $800+ though

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...royal+oak+book

Don't really want to pay import duty so ill probably get the one from the US next time I'm there. Although the one from switzerland is priced OK so maybe the import duty would make it worth it.

Ive got the PP biography coming from switzerland in the next week so that will be the test as to what HMRC is going to charge as the price is fairly similar. Usually don't do international shipping so i really have no idea.

Thanks for links that's the one I've been looking for.

Also wanted the Master watchmaker which I've been told is no longer produced.

I have that one... much easier to find. Amazon prime delivers tomorrow. Assuming its the one with the green cover. I have never seen the other one before, but the author looks the same so it may be the same book.

I have both and in fact I recently gave someone here on TRF a copy of the master watchmaker book.

They are good to have if you're into the brand, although I was given my copies I did recently pay quite a lot for RM Monographie so I suppose I'd say this kind of book is worth buying.
