I kept mine and serviced
The first one in 42mm with rectangular shaped pushers just like the 44mm. It was a bold design back in 2004, with movement displayed, and unusual tapestry design. Only on special occasion I wear it out. Changed the original strap with a white diver strap and completely transformed the look of this watch. I also kept the RB II, though the market value for both have dropped, it will always be AP's most iconic pieces in 42mm. Who knows 15 years later, Code 1159 may be another iconic piece for AP... Cheers

A watch I owned, and which I let go... Sadly, as this was my favorite Royal Oak Off Shore, and I often think of it. Cool looking, interesting with its different links to the automotive universe... Big regrets. Nicolas ...
The most "audacious" of AP Royal Oak Offshores when it launched.
And the one to spawn so much after it. Barrichello, Grand Prix, etc. - the JPM is the origin. I have thought much about it recently... when it launched, the reaction was very similar to the CODE 11.59. Lots of smug, smart ass remarks. And now many years l...
I loved this watch when it was first launched...

Ah my first ROO I remember I got it when it first launched
I was relatively a novice in the world of watches and in particular AP But I remember when I was at the AD with a friend and they showed us the pics of the soon to be released limited edition and I knew I had to have it I fell in love instantly
I, too, upgraded and then realized the Montoya
is in a league of its own and not really an upgrade. I traded my ti RB2.
Barrichello 2 in Titanium...
Do you remember the original price of the Titanium RB2, I have an opportunity to get one and curious as to the original price. Thx
I still have it but rarely wear it lately. It is my holiday watch.
14 y.o. and still very actual ...
I have all 3 variations and my titanium is my favorite.
A terrific looking piece. People change out the white stitch strap but I feel it looks best on this ti version. In person, the watch is 10 times nicer than any picture can capture. The carbon fiber almost looks holographic.
strap change
I also agree that it looks best on its original leather strap but it is not very comfortable on my wrist. I had to put it on a rubber strap and titanium buckle to make it fit well. I think it is the clasp size or position that makes it rather uncomfortabl...
