I would also like to see that one.
I like it almost as much as the all black ceramic. And at less than half the cost, I probably like it more 
Think about that - you're spending an extra $48,000 or so for the ceramic bracelet and lower case. Impossible to fathom.
Armis has ignited the Royal Oak Offshore flame lately.
Many newer members might not know this (and by newer, I mean if you joined in the past 10-12 years), but this forum used to be all Offshore, all the time. Of course, AP had a period starting circa 2004 where they rolled out legend after legend, and the fo...
Before I opened your reply, I expected the titanium Montoya and tantalum Orchard Road
Good to see the others! I love the platinum RBII.
Hi Michael!
I love the original ROO models, and I still have my custom designed "Dawn Of A New Day" Offshore with site founder ThomasM's prototype black PVD coating! Cheers, Anthony ...
My ROO flame has been burning đ„ since got mine a few years back, itâs been my avatar ever since despite my Rolex centric user name đ
I posted this pic from October 27th and itâs likely my favourite watch design, worn with the extra small strap which transforms the fit for basically anyone under 7.5â wrist size. Love the new ceramic you showed but the way the properly sized rubber hugs ...
No doubt, and Toronto is not known for closing out sports series.
Luckily for you, this is your baseball team and not your hockey team!! LOL. The Dodgers are swinging the bats so poorly, seemingly trying to only hit homeruns. Your team is much scrappier, and that is a better offense to have in big games. And the Blue Ja...
Absolutely. They have the MoJo right now.
Yamamoto can't possibly throw another complete game... he is due to give up some runs. Without a horse in the race, and being a general fan of the game, I would love a Game 7. But not sure we will get one.
I happened to be at an AP event which was all Offshore
With the first Arni piece etc. I wore my ROO and git attention from one of the designers, who wore his 26089BC ...
Either of these would suit my summer lifestyle quite well . . . .
Photo: Monochrome Photo: A Blog To Watch I especially like the second one in titanium with tricompax subdial layout. M4 ...
I googled that very titanium Offshore yesterday.
Very rare piece in terms of Offshore style!
Yes! This bad boy would be a top contender.
The blue nuit ceramic option is interesting, but not sure how it looks in person.

An offshore reference which I particularly like
is the triple calendar 25808, especially with a sharkskin strap. Best, Emmanuel ...
I had a feeling you would reply with this one!!
How nice would it be to see a new triple calendar model?
Always room for more!
Quite busy with the baby, so I donât have very much energy for anything else than sleeping(when it is possible) and survival. That being said, I do adore the Offshore line. And the full ceramic is just gorgeous, so is the the bleu nuit, and the half n hal...
Bien sûr!
C'est ma premiere montre Audemars Piguet; elle aura toujours une place particuliere dans mon cĆur!
Indeed!
Lovely numerals on this piece and its twin! Two great Offshores - the Gulf is overt and the Khaki is stealthy.
Dear Michael, I had to smile
when you mentioned the 42 mm all-ceramic Offshore. Funny enough, this exact model has been the only AP I have chosen for myself so far. Itâs an absolute beast â light, precise, and with that deep stealth look only AP can pull off. This one happens to be m...
Quite a piece to own!!
I know you have posted it and I love seeing it! I have a preference for the newer dial variation, but how can you go wrong. Maybe, one day, for me...
Ha!
I didnât even know there was a new dial version. I thought the slight color difference was just because of the photo. I hope you will get your version someday.
Here are 2 fantastic photos
Courtesy of Monochrome. The comparison shows how different the detailing on the dials is. The new version pairs so well with the modern ceramic case, and is more of a "blackout" style with the hands and markers. The date window and AP logo are tops! ...
The new version is very cool!
I have to say, I really like both versions. The âblackout styleâ of the new one appeals to me a lot! However â and this probably doesnât come across so well in the photos â the white elements on the dial of my version match perfectly with the silver screw...
I think that's one I have tried on...
...it is a bit thick but I could pull it off with a 7.25" wrist. Beautifully finished everywhere...
I added my first one to the collection this year
But I have to admit, I do not wear it much. It's massive. The ceramic bezel fixes my #1 issue with most APs, which is that they are a total scratch magnet and look quite a b it worse with a bit of wear. The ceramic looks pristine. Like another poster said...
Heartily agree about the languishing AP lines...all of them worthy of a resurgence...
...here is my friend's watch on my wrist (7.25"). His wrist is a bit smaller, but he says it's one of his favorites...he wears it a lot. ...
