Look, the Royal Oak is an icon and this openworked version is genuinely impressive to look at - the movement is a spectacle. But here's the thing: it wears pretty thick and the price is absolutely brutal for what you're getting. If you're the type who needs to justify dropping that kind of money on a watch you'll actually rotate, this might leave you second-guessing. That said, if you're a true AP collector and the movement finishing speaks to you, it's hard to deny the craftsmanship. Just not my move - give me a clean Tank on leather any day and pocket the difference.
