Put me squarely in the camp of "I love this watch!" ...  

Diameter 42 mm, right? Looking at how deep the date sits, it still seems to be a sandwich movement. Best, Volker

Caliber on this one is the current 3126/3840.

Is it exactly the same model? Especially the dial? If not, do you have a side by side shot to spot the differences? Best wishes Alkiro

Different movement, of course. The original ROO was a winner, and this one is too. Lovely watch. Cheers, John

I’m sure someone here will make a collage to see if nothing else is different. Best wishes Alkiro

The dial does appear more blue in the photo, but we will need to see it live to know for sure.

Best wishes Alkiro

I will have to look for some old photos.

How it all started in 1993. 1. One of the first 100 pieces without Offshore engraving 2. The follow up with offshore engraving 3. Limited edition of 20 pieces for the 20th ann of ROO 4. Can’t wait..... ...  

I can’t see if there’s a difference, regarding the dial, among these three ROOs. Best wishes Alkiro

I expect more from AP, what are they afraid of? push the envelope guys, don't be afraid, get back to the cutting edge circa 2006/7/8. Newer and Stronger Materials being developed. Your Forged Carbon watches were so cool and cutting edge, you can do more. ... 

You did see the new 50 piece tourbillons, right? I would say they are shoving the envelope pretty hard!

I am sure there some great pieces still to be unveiled by AP for SIHH and I am always excited to see what AP has for us. I did see the 50 piece tourbillon. It's nice, probably MSRP is USD 100k plus. I was talking about the sub USD 60k level where they cre... 

I like it! Also, is it limited? Thanks, M4

Stainless steel & 50 PCs. M4

It is steel, but not limited. At least, the information I was sent by AP states the tourbillons are 50 each, but it does not say that for this "re-issue". I therefore hope it is not limited.

Why change something that was done so well.

The first Offshore ref. 25721 aka. The Beast was launched in 1993 to general disdain but today, everyone recognizes that “The Beast” led the way in opening a whole new segment for AP, the highly successful luxury sport watch market. However, The Beast is ... 

The way my brain works, one year is no more important than another. 25, 24, 27... whatever. But there is not another model like this in the current lineup. I don't have anything that says it is a limited edition. I don't think it has to do with being rare... 

...but has any advancement been made with water resistance?

I seem to be struggling..... Velociphile
