for now, I don't see the Code collection being at the height of the `royal `oak collection. I still has work to do. However, they are not bad watches at all... I like the date opening at 4-5 o'clock, I don't know why so many people criticize it. I like the shape of the crystal, it has a very special curvature. I like the attention to detail in these watches. It is true that Codes are not as exclusive as Royal oaks. I see in them similar dials to what is presented in the industry now. but I DON'T dare to say that I don't like them and that I have pretensions on them. I would take one, maybe not the blue one, because it looks a lot like `royasl oak , but the green one for sure
