They called me yesterday from AP store to come and check out new ROO Diver Ceramic. The black ceramic case looks amazing, the dial is also great. The rubber strap is too thick for my taste and a bit of disappointment for me is also the tone of the orange ...  

The new ceramic Royal Oak Offshore Diver is going to be very popular. I have found the rubber strap to be very pliable and comfortable despite its thickness. Given the dimensions of the case and lugs, I'm afraid it could not be made thinner and still look... 

much better than the Bartorelli or Wempe Divers IMO. Cheers, Anthony

Much prefer this version... Fx ...

Honestly, I sold my forged diver, in part because of this gorgeous ceramic version. One of the biggest reasons was how they handled the dial. If you notice on the forged, the triangle is cut in half. On the ceramic, they ensure the entire triangle is main... 

...but dull to these eyes compared to the FC Diver.

Pictures don't do this watch justice. You have to see it in person! I'm thinking this would be the perfect watch for me. A beautiful Offshore that's not going to get dinged and scratched up, and you can see the movement...too bad there is a long waiting l... 

They did great job with the ceramic cases.

Got to see one in person. The ceramic looks beautifully finished. Be interesting to see how durable the material is long term. Great for not scratching, but quite brittle I imagine especially where the plots attach to the case may be a vulnerable spot. My...
