I always like to keep the watches as i find them..
there is something strange about changing the dial if not necessary.
I likethe white dial a lot it gives it a touch of sobriety and elegance whereas the blue dial makes it look more sporty...you can t go wrong with either but if it was mine i would keep it as it is.
Don t forget to post some pics.Best for your travels.

Royal Oak perpetual calendar squelette,a personal horological achivement.
That's how I see it. The opportunity came along ,I didn't think much but those days were long and a little painful as I had to make a quick move. I usually take my time ,I ve learnt that compulsive buys are not good and that usually my guts are right,whet...
Couldn't say it better.
This is also an important piece, in my heart. But now, youn raise a question: What will happe, to your RO Skeleton, I mean the no perpetual calendar one? This one is, in my opinion, a killer watch which may well kill your RO skeleton, too. One of my 3 fav...
As I wrote Nico I gave that one in..
I had to make the sacrifice,for sure,I didn t feel I could keep 2 RO skeletons,even if i enjoyed it a lot. This is different though a very different watch. What are your other 2 fav perp? Let me guess..VC Sq and.....can t guess the otherone(I am not count...
Logical decision, I missed that part of your post.
As for the other perpetual calendars, a Vacheron, for sure, skeleton ( Patrimony ) or not ( Perpetual Calendar Chrono from the ES Series ). And I still hesitate between two others, the UN Perpetual, the friendliest I know, and the JLC Skeleton 8 Days, for...
I don t really know Nico
this I don t know ,but if it was..thats why I like it so much....even more mo
I believe that the 2120 came from JLC Cal 920.
Nothing downgrading here, for sure. Best, Nicolas
No, you are not wrong
but correct like too often. The base cal. is JLC based. Best, Kari
What more can I say on this beauty....
apart from it looks great on my wrist too..!! Congrats again Mo...you know I didn't notice once last Sat that it wasn't set to the correct time I only noticed when I looked at the pics when I got home. I think that says it all about it's beauty. See you s...

Well,its Giulio Papi s personal watch,so you picked up a real treasure....can t wait to see some pics next to the other Gentas complicated watch and a couple of extra shots by itself.What coulor dial did you get? Thanks Kari,appreciate it Mo
Tanks Mo.
I found a new specimen with white dial and right price. At the moment I'm having a Family Conference with my wife Darja. We will fly on Friday to Geneva and I must decide should I change the dial to the grayish blue. What is your opinion? Best, Kari

Congratulations, Mo!
Well, this is one of the most beautiful perpetual calendars around. As I feared, the 15305 was sacrificed, but I can completely understand your reasoning. While you say your collection is small, I say it is dazzling. Best my friend, respo
Thank you Respo,
I really appreciate your input my friend. Some sacrifices are worth doing,in this case I am sure I did the right thing.The watch hasn t left my wrist since I got it ..just in time to see its behaviour with the leap year..... Best Respo Mo
Congratulations, Mo.

Subliminal? NO, I am just being subtle. LOL
About la tentatrice rosso, a close friend of mine warn me not to step into the JLC boutique when it arrive. He claim it! He's not a red color man but he completely fall under its spell after seeing it. Need I say more About the GTG, this year is bad for m...
Redheads are dangerous my friend..

The Steel Royal Oak Skeleton Perpetual Calendar is my absolute favorite Royal Oak. I truly can't think of another Royal Oak I like more. I can't even think of any Gerald Genta ship's porthole watch (mainly encompassing the Royal Oak and the Nautilus) that...

Sublime watch and it's complimetary with your De Bethune. In the site the movement isn't skeletonised. Is yours a special order? Platinum or steel by the way? Aris This message has been edited by aridim1 on 2012-03-13 00:51:53
