Jumbo Arrival
So originally I had set the budget to get a Nautilus 5711, Royal Oak 15202 and a stainless Daytona (or just one Platona). Unfortunately, someone close to me was diagnosed with a terrible disease and I decided to give him half the watch budget to help with medical bills. With a new budget I decided on selling my old Royal Oak and getting the Jumbo + Daytona. Haven't ordered the Daytona yet but I'm actively looking and should be soon.Thanks to takuya (an awesome seller) for the fast delivery. Now here are the pics!And with my old Royal Oak:Getting used to having no seconds hand but it's a beautiful watch. Happy with the purchase.

Visited Boston AD today
Hi went by Shreve Crump and Low in Boston today. First let me say all the guys that work there are super cool, super knowledgeable and awesome. Truly felt welcome they are all passionate about watches and even invited me to their inaugural get together they are having Wed from 5-7pm. Very glad to have met everyone there. Tried on a bunch of AP, a nice Roger Dubuis and then a couple A. Lange Sohn. Here are a couple pics from my visit.

Pics of a very photo shy dial (5140P content)
It pains me to have to send this beauty down the road, but before I do I wanted to share a few pix of what has been the most confounding difficult dials to capture in photos that I've ever experienced. The dial looks incredibly beautiful in person with it's gentle blue sunburst contrasted against the soft white metal. However, try to capture its beauty with a camera and suddenly it's a whole different game. Just when you think you have the right angle, reflections show up. Eliminate the reflections and the hands disappear. Get the hands right and the dial goes too dark. As an amateur photo enthusiast, it was maddening. The trick (for me at least) was to find a powerful light source i.e., sun, and diffuse it. Then find the right angle, use the correct exposure compensation and color balance. After a many, many unsuccessful tries, here are the best results I came up with. I dare say (without trying to brag), I think they're among the best photos I've seen of this particular reference wit

Aquanaut on a nato? 5167
Curious if any 5167 owners here have thrown their watch on a NATO strap? I ordered a crown & buckle 21mm but wanted to see some pics before it gets to me.
