Have you seen that new (at least I think it's new) Royal Oak Jumbo Extra Thin with the grainy textured blue dial in 18K WG? It is a real stunner...and only 82K USD lol.

I missed the boat about 10-15 years ago on RO's. Probably shoulda bought one instead of the white dial VC Overseas I bought.

That is a gorgeous watch but in the end, a RO without a tapisserie dial just isn't quite an RO for me.

I was lucky that I got into the integrated bracelet watches when the "internet" was not interested and AP was getting a lot of grief because they made one watch. I bought my 15400 in '12 or '13 and avoided the rush. I think we have the same Overseas, is yours the white dial? Mine is the 47040 with the white textured dial. I preferred it to the new models when they first came out but I have shifted my opinion, partly because it is a better watch and movement. The VC OS bracelets are still the best sport bracelet IMO even without any sort of micro-adjust. They are a masterpiece.
