Anyone have any info about the 14790?
Hey guys,Wish you guys a pleasant day!Long story short for you guys; I have always been a fan of the Royal Oak(the bracelet is truly a work of art), but never got myself to venture as they always wore too large on my wrists. I gave the 15300 and 15202 a good chance, tried them on many many times, but the protruding lugs just didnt allow the watch to hug my wrists, and it would bother me.Being primarily into vintage watches, I am somewhat drawn towards the 14790.It is definitely not very old, at 36MM I believe it should be a fantastic fit, and has a nice blue dial.My only worry is that there is barely any information about this reference online.I have noticed different variants with the audemars piguet written as a straight text evenly, and another variant where the Letters A and P in the audemars piguet are higher/larger fonts.I also am unable to track back through the case back number to what year the watch would be dated to.I would appreciate if anyone has any information at all to s

I seriously do not get it. Particularly their sports models. I've looked at their watches and find them to be visually fine, although not exceptional (the bolted stop-sign bezel is not attractive at all IMO) and I'm sure they run every bit as reliably as most Swiss movements, but I just do not get them at all. When I see a Royal Oak for sale on one of the sites, it will be going for something like $35,000.....used!Someone please explain.

Speedy 3570.50 - Am I missing something?
I know this is the Rolex forum, but wanted to get an opinion from Rolex owners regarding this watch. I'm familiar with the history and clearly its a classic design. It's one of the best watches I've seen on a leather strap or a NATO. I tried one on recently and it really didn't sing to me like how it does when I see it in photos. It could have been the Omega bracelet, which I'm not a fan of or maybe because I started off with Rolex I'm a bit bias. What's the opinion from owners, how does this guy work in your collection?

I got the call
This is my second rolex that I own. Third that I have ever owned. Second was stainless steel daytona that I had for a short time and sold here as I owned two white face watches. Bought from AD in Miami
