However, as M4 mentioned, it is quite heavy at 222 grams.
Additionally, the rubber cladding seems quite soft/thin - mine worn out at a couple of spots, and I don't have any (deep) knocks on all my other watches.
It was a costly fix too - as the entire bezel will have to be replaced. Doesn't quite make sense to me to have the soft/thin rubber covering the much harder tantalum...
I prefer the ROO Sincere too - and I think the tantalum bezel makes more sense here.
Thanks, for bringing back the memories of these long gone Offshores.
Cheers,

A picture of an Audemars Piguet I always loved, never owner, the Royal Oak Off Shore Orchard Road.
Why I love it so much? ( Credit picture unknown but I will happily credit upon request ). Why? Because of its tantalum case, the grey dial and the red touches. My favorite? No, the Juan Pablo Montoya has taken my heart, but still... Best, Nicolas ...
That's one heavy beast!

Thanks Goh! That's the Offshore Sincere that calls my name.
I'd love to find one but I think they're rarer than hen's teeth. M4
Never owned an AP
But seen at a watch store in real. But my attention was more focused on the Rolex display. Oh, i would buy the whole display with Rolex models. Candy store experience.
Nice color scheme for that photo
I had this watch on my wrist 10+ years ago. A real beast for sure!
