I've just ordered one of these. I ignored all the anti Tag statements and went with what I liked.

I'm generally not a fan of skeletonised dials though I'd make an exception for that one, TAG or otherwise. Enjoy

Has been a long, long time since I left the house forgetting to put a watch on. Feels... odd, and more than a little wrong. First World problems and all that



It'll be a 5000 series G-Shock later for an hour or so of badminton.

Not when Rolex is on the squint. A blind man's guide dog could tell that's a fake at 50 paces

Really like that, looks much better like that than the black with red bits version.

Yeah that's what I thought. I prefer watches to be a bit more low key even though I do own a Seiko Sportura Honda Racing Edition which is black and red.

They must be for cosmetic reason only as they are recessed into the bezel. They cant be screwed in?

[chris56]

The bezel screws should always line up on a Royal Oak as they are not screws but bolt heads which fit into the hexagonal cutouts on the bezel. There are screws underneath which then screw into these bolt heads and .... as you can imagine they do not line up

I suppose you can still get the slots out of alignment as there would be 3 ways to fit them in rotation. You would have to question the maker if he didn't notice that. Attention to detail is the number 1 attribute to have being a watchmaker IMO.

Are you sure? They should always line up, they aren't screws!

What are the slots for then?
