Purest form of luxury?
 Having this piece of finely crafted steel on my wrist for past 2 weeks, I have the thought that Royal Oak perhaps the purest form of luxury watch with evergreen industrial design. Especially the silver dial RO. A no-nonsense tool watch from afar but intrinsically a piece of jewellery due to micro details. The design of the dial, bezel, case, bracelet and movement formed the complete package. Is it a tool watch or a sport watch? Or perhaps even a dress watch? That depends on how it’s being worn. The watch is basically a perfect canvas for owner to put on their marks. Or scratches

"Purest form of luxury", may be reading into things a bit much. With it's hard angle and steel case, it is definitely identifiable, respected and loved. But pure luxury to me is represented by softer lines and softer metal. I',d love to own that piece, but I really do have a difficult categorizing it. It's sporty, but not a spots watch. It's beautiful, but definitely not a dress watch. I guess it simply is what it is, and that's a Royal Oak.

I owned the same model and love mine. Goes well with shorts, jeans, or dress clothes. The dial is mesmerizing as is the rotor and bracelet. On another forum just this week, I commented that it's design is both old school, as well as modern at the same time.
Enjoy the new aquisition.

Love my Rolex and Omega but AP has that "special" feel that is unmatched.
