AP had a good run of auto-themed Offshores. Honestly, I miss those days.
Many complained "too many limited editions". I happen to like variety. Like the Survivor, that one really called to me, and I am glad they made it, even if it was excessive for others.
2013. Jarno Trulli, Schumacher, and a fake RBII
The Trulli was mine, the Schumacher belonged to a good AP collector. The fake RBII was worn by a super docuhey dude I met on the trip. The fallout after was hilarious, to be honest. ...
Plot twist
They’re all fake! I remember those ref. Back then everyone was in ROO phase and you could walk in and get a RO

A friend has the Trulli as well…👍🏻
Back to the RBII😂. Did the guy own up or you all knew while he was faking it all the way?😂
Wonderful mixed trippidi
Sad to see one being a fake... But that trulli - imagine if they did that with the new carbon materials!!! Thanks for sharing, Peter
I sure expected more cermet from AP after the Trulli
Never really took off. I heard it was very expensive to manufacture, maybe that drove the decision to stop using it.
Question about the gent wearing the fake RBII
Did he freely admit it was a fake or did you guys notice that it was fake? Very curious about the conversation dynamic. Best, Robert
I ask this because I have a good friend who has wanted an Offshore for years and...
is working his butt off in the Middle East taking major heat daily to earn enough to eventually purchase it. He's risking life and limb - living long term in an austere lifestyle in an environment that would make most of us cry like little girls... and wh...
No, he did not admit nor discuss
The Schumacher owner and I discovered it in reviewing our group photos together. 1000% fake.
Michael, there's discussion GOLD in that dynamic!!
So he acted like it was legit even though he was amongst real collectors?! That's bold. When you get a moment, consider changing the subject line of this post to "Super Douche brings fake to GTG" Best, Robert
LOL!
He did act "legit" the whole time. I'm not sure what else was in his "collection", but he had to know his RBII was fake. 2013 or maybe it was 2012, never heard anything else about the guy.
2/3 isn’t bad - hall of fame numbers really.
Did the douchy dude know his watch was fake?
