Gone, but never forgotten

One of my favorite Offshores, the 25770. This one was serviced, and at my request, the date shroud changed to silver, and the rubber parts black. IMO, it should have been made like this originally.

Thanks for a great post, Jon.

It sure looks good on your wrist. While a very large piece, I do feel the ergonomic massaging the 43mm collection received (very well captured in your profile shot) allows it to wear OK on smaller wrists. I still like the massive flat back 42mm Offshores,

My 15300 was a white dial steel bracelet.

I only have a few photos, all on bracelet. The one I preferred on strap was the 39mm Royal Oak Chrono. Here was the 15300 with a 217: This was my favorite model to play with. I wore it mostly on OEM rubber, but here is the Tour Auto. I later custom ordere

The End of Days is a legend. Not just for AP, but for all horology.

Yes, I think you can still get the strap. I have one brand new and the one I wore on my 25770. Waiting to reacquire one of these at some point. I think I also have the heralded AP Singapore hornback or whatever we called that years ago (black with yellow

My first Royal Oak, ref 15510.

Once again, my better half and I found ourselves in London, heading to the Audemars Piguet London boutique. I had notified them well in advance that we'd be dropping by during the Halloween weekend, and they promised to make our visit special. A call from

More charm and soul on the original, no doubt. Truth be told, this is not an LE in the normal AP way.

It appears to be just new combination of materials and colors, limited in production. I think it looks fantastic. But it is not in the vein of a RBII, JPM, Survivor, etc. Of course, we could almost say the same on the original, which was a 25770 variant,

A few more shots of the new Royal Oak Offshore EoD II

Numerals sure would be interesting, and different dial guilloche. Still, it is a very compelling version of Royal Oak Offshore, and a reasonable tribute to the original End of Days 25770. And for good measure, the original:

The Beast is in

Once again we returned to London for our yearly visit and you never know if you will get something or not. I was really not sure if the boutique would have any pieces for me even though I got a call from the sales associate two weeks beforehand asking me

Excellent post. I have contemplated how to reply...

Just 1 favorite? GULP. I can't do it!! (ironically, while most parents say they could never choose a favorite child, I think I could do that very easily!! LOL...) The tantalum bezeled watch from Monochrome is an old SIncere edition. There were 2 dials off
