    I think if I were picking a watch for the artwork, that it would be the AP Royal oak time +date only. In full frosted rose gold, the frosted gold just makes the black polished facets stand out even more.
    Or
    In a picture with industrial type processes and tooling & sparks flying. I would love to see the Rolex yacht master with the black bezel in white gold.

    I would absolutely love an Alange-Soehne Richard Lange Tourbillon for my artwork because it is my HOLY GRAIL WATCH. The way the cut out dial pops out at 6 pm/am and goes back in at 12 am/pm is quintessentially german. It is not just a regular tourbillon. It also has a fusèe and chain mechanism with impeccable finishing. I freakin' love it's complexity.

    • @TheDubaiExpat
      @TheDubaiExpat  4 роки тому +1

      Hey David, I think they have 1 piece in stock. They wrote me today on WhatsApp that they received a limited edition carbon version of which only 1 is available in Dubai :). But I am happy for now and still fighting for the GMT I would love to have next :)!

    • @davidwilliamauston
      @davidwilliamauston 4 роки тому

      TheDubaiExpat best way to get the Pepsi is to buy your Rolex pieces from one dealer. When you buy your next rolex, kindly ask if they can get you a Pepsi if you buy that Rolex. Usually they can get you one within a year or so. Especially if it’s your 3rd or 4th one.

    Zenith makes a great watch. You have a bunch of beautiful watches and I am extremely jealous. Do you use watch winders? I get different opinions on them and can’t decide whether I should use them.

    • @TheDubaiExpat
      @TheDubaiExpat  4 роки тому

      Hey Rick, currently I am not using a winder. Maybe I will add one in the future but for now it works as I am wearing the explorer nearly all the time :). If you have a nice spot for it at home get one. I think it will look great. I wouldn't be worried about wear of the movement and don't think it shortens the service cycles.
