What can I say, he got me...


Nubuck by AP... what could be better?  I have worn Royal Oak Offshores for 20 years now.  This is quite a transformation and honestly one I never thought of.  I expect this strap to patina, and then it will pair even better with the smoked dial.  But I sense AP made this strap for this dial.  I could see it gong on the blue and black dials too.  Thank you AP smile

Yah, I wonder where all this madness originates, Lord Nico?

Growing your far reaching network of deviants, as usual... (but I think I am in that club too, so it's OK!)

Haha! "Lord Nico."

The watch / strap combo looks tremendous. It's a summer - autumn look to it. M4

It is without question that every grade of my horological madness can be traced back to the Nico effect πŸ€ͺ

…and to take it a step beyond horological influence, when he started posting all the details about Alpines, the next day I was researching for dealers and how I’d get one into the US!

Wow, really? I love that!

This looks pretty good Michael.

And does this piece have the quick change system? If so, all the more reason to experiment. A little patina will likely make it more attractive too.

Sure does.

The quick change system came along at the right time for me... aging eyes make changing the old school ones a bit tougher!

I have a few greys from 42 and 44mm models

It sounds like a kit will come along to match 42mm straps on 43mm models

Oh wow

That’s another level! Awesome

I'll use the word "unique" again. This is a different feel for an Offshore on this strap.

 
 By: MichaelC : September 21st, 2021-19:53
And not physical feel, which is comfy, but mentally. Hard to explain!

NICE! That really does look great! πŸ‘ŒπŸΌπŸ‘ŒπŸΌπŸ‘ŒπŸΌ

Thank you for sharing the multiple angles. Now i’m more eager to receive mine.

Excellent, hope it arrives soon!

 
 By: MichaelC : September 21st, 2021-19:54
And thanks again ;-)

High praise from the strap master!

 
 By: MichaelC : September 21st, 2021-23:50
I'll take it ;-)

Thank you Sir.

Only 2 days in with it, but wow is it a different looking AP on the wrist.

 
 By: MichaelC : September 24th, 2021-12:04
And I rather like that after wearing them for so many years.
