Today, we'll be talking about an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in 39 millimeters with a black dial, rose-gold construction with a leather strap, reference number 15300OR.0.OO.D002CR.01. Now, this is a long-discontinued model. As if you were to try to find this on the website, you simply wouldn't be able to. But we can certainly get one for you at Jaztime.com. Now, we'll be talking about the case, the dial, the bezel, the crown functions, the strap, as well as the movement. And I'll be giving my thoughts on all of these, including the wearing experience toward the end of the video. All right. Now starting off with the case, we have a 39-millimeter case in diameter, from finger to thumb. That's the 10 to 4 position or the 2 to 8, basically the same. Okay, it has a thickness of 9.4 millimeters. And water resistance of 50 meters, so I wouldn't really take this further than surface level. It does have the sapphire, glare-proof, sapphire crystal on the front, as well as on the back. And just so you know that this is an F serial made in 2006. So this model, this particular model at least is 15 years old as of the making of this video. Right, so certainly an old and a bit, well, I wouldn't say entirely outdated, because it does have that black "Tapisserie" dial. It doesn't have that sunray sort of effect as you would see in newer models with the sort of a, like a gear-shaped patterning on those raised tiles, but it still has that very distinctive, Royal-Oak look. And speaking of the distinctive, Royal-Oak look, we have this brush finish going from top to bottom on this case with an equally, you know, same sort of lateral brush finishing on the sides here, on the case. Both the nine o'clock and three o'clock sides with high polish on this tiny, tiny little bevel on the corners of this case here, as you can see. Same with the caseback, we also have this concentric circle, sort of finish that you can see on this sand-brush finishing with the hallmarks fully intact as well. 15-year-old watch, fully intact. All right, that's how we do here at Jaztime. Now looking at this bezel here, we also have the same general presentation, vertical-brush finishing with a high polish on that first bevel, all right? Going all the way around. And as is distinctive with any Audemars Piguet Royal Oak model, we also have these hexagonal screws, eight of them in total with the sort of slots facing each other. So you have that, that sort of Gestalt Visual Perception Principle there of closure, where you have all of these lined up and sort of creating and finishing out this circular pattern, without actually having to connect with each other. All right, and taking a look at all of this together, it works very, very nicely, especially with this black dial. And speaking of this dial, we have the black dial, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak on a 39-millimeter case with a black dial. Again, a "Grand Tapisserie" overall finish on that dial. Now, there's no gear-shaped patterning here. But it's probably not something that you would miss given the legacy of this watch, and considering how all of these- How all of this is laid out. We have a date aperture at the three o'clock position. No index marker there, and no index markers at the 12 o'clock because the Audemars Piguet logo, the AP logo, the letter-form portion at least takes up the 12 o'clock position, whereas on the newer models, the 15400 and 15500, the logo is sort of brought back together. Because here, it's sort of has this somewhat awkward separation of the letter form from the word-mark portions of the logo. Not that that's a huge issue because I do like that the AP is perfectly in line with these index markers at the top. Again, all of this is an 18 karat rose gold, including all of these applied index markers with that AP logo as well. Royal Oak hands to finish it out with a sort of quill type of seconds hand, all right? Now, taking a look at the functions here, works as you would expect. Simply unwind the crown at the first position, to the first position. This allows you to wind the watch. So if you're at a dead stop, maybe like 20 or 30 full winds is all you really need to get up to the full power reserve. Rather simple there. Pull out to the next position, and you can actually advance the date by one. It's somewhere between a quarter turn and a half turn. So let's say a third of a turn to advance the date by one. So if you are at the end of a month, you can very easily just switch over. And if you're on like the 30th of the month and tomorrow is the first of the next month, you can just flip it once and you'll be ready to go once the first comes around. All right? Now, keep in mind that when you pull out the crown to the final position, the seconds hand actually does stop. So you can set the minute hand precisely, wherever it needs to go. And here is another excellent design decision from Audemars Piguet is these tiny minute and second track on the periphery of this dial. Very, very, incredibly low on the visual hierarchy scale. I bet you didn't even notice that they were there. Maybe, like, 50% of you didn't even notice that they were there. But they're there when you need them. But they sort of just sink into the rest of the patterning, this "Grand Tapisserie" patterning, sort of along with the index hour marks. So, you know, they're not too demanding when it comes to attention. All right? But they're certainly there when you need them and very, very importantly. So right now, what makes all of this work? It is the self-winding Caliber 3120. All right, as you can see through this exhibition caseback, all right, with this Sapphire crystal covering it right there. All right. So we also have the center hour minutes and center seconds with the date. That's basically all the functions that this has. All right, it has a self-winding mechanism, this 22-karat, winding rotor with the Audemars and Piguet coat of arms as you can see on there. All right. It also has a diameter of 26.6 millimeters and beats out a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. All right. And it also has a power reserve of 60 hours, 40 jewels and a total number of 280 parts. Quite impressive for quite a very good timekeeper of a timekeeping watch. All right. Now, taking a look at the framing here of this swatch. We have this brown leather, alligator strap here, all right, with matching brown stitching all the way down. Nice large scales, closer to the case. And as you get closer to the clasp here, these scales get much smaller, all right? So very interesting there, along with a gradual taper all the way down. We also have these sizing loops, all right? And keep in mind that this is not necessarily a brand new watch, but it has been kept in excellent condition. Although it has been, you know, sort of stored in a state where the hole, the sizing hole was placed somewhere outside of the farthest position, all right? But not that that's an issue, because, well, this is an Audemars Piguet watch. And anyone who is experienced with Audemars Piguet will know that if you simply breathe on it, it will get scratches. So complete with my fingerprints right there, we have a nice high polish on the Audemars Piguet, the full, word-mark logo on this clasp here. We have a couple of minder loops, when you need them, okay? And a very nice, sort of a, pin system here. Let's see if I can actually take this out nicely here. All right. And there you go. There's the pin that would typically go through the sizing. All right. Now, I'm just going to take a step. I'll just it back where it was. Okay? And while we're here, I can try it on for you. Give you my thoughts as to how it wears on the wrist. Now, this is sort of a weird one where you would typically sort of clasp at the bottom last. But on these older-style models, you would have to grab the loop from the top and then clasp downward, okay? So be very careful of this potential pinching point but I haven't had any issues with it so far. All right. Now at 39 millimeters on this case, very big on my wrist. It's almost like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo of the modern day era, where the lugs just sort of hang over the edge of my wrist. Not that I'm complaining at all, because they do get extra breathability underneath this leather bracelet. Because this- The leather strap does not actually affords the least amount of breathability, when compared to all the other straps and especially the Royal Oak bracelet. But taking a look at how it looks on the wrist though, I do actually like the presentation of this leather strap versus the very bright rose gold with the very dark pattern of this dial. This sort of alternating color scheme here makes it a very interesting, distinctive presentation here, makes it very easy to read. And when it comes to the presentation, the overall look is basically what sells this watch to me. The weight, incredibly light. The counterweight of the strap versus the case, not as much as what you would feel in the case. But again at 39 millimeters, all of this in a solid, rose-gold construction makes this for an incredibly light wear somehow. And Audemars Piguet really hit it out of the park with this one. All right. So that's all I have to say about this. What do you guys think about this watch?
