My RO gets a thorough cleaning...
Just bath this fellow. The usual toothbrush and toothpaste. And now it looks Spick and Span.

Display Back on Royal Oaks
Does anyone know the reason why AP choose to have display backs on some models of RO while not the others? For example, only the basic Royal Oaks have display backs. The other models with chrono or dual time complication as well as some models with leather strap all don't have display backs. Same for the offshores. Is it to minimize thickness?

Should ADs have one of every model on display?
Don't know about everyone else - but I am tired of walking in ADs all around the world (especially UK & Europe) to find they have literally zero models that I would be interested in. Normally racks on racks of diamond DJ & DD - then if you want a SS model, you have to get to the back of the line , make a commitment (financial or AD relationship) and hope that you like the watch when it turns up 12 months later... So here is the question - should the AD have ��display only' models available for us to try on in store , so we can get a good impression of the watch before placing an order?? I have some ��high end' sports cars which often have 1-2 year waiting lists on them - but at least I can go sit in them in the dealership (if not actually get to drive) before i placed the order!
