Favorite letters when hunting a discontinued timepiece?
By: MichaelC : March 6th, 2024-17:30
N O S for me I have journeyed with AP since the year 2001. The worst decision I ever made was selling my Royal Oak Offshore Survivor. I have actively hunted a replacement 5+ years now. I came so close over this span on multiple occasions, but something wa...
A mistake corrected!

What a cool watch! The coolest Royal Oak Offshore I can think of!
We had so much fun back then...

Montoya, Survivor, Barrichello, F1 Singapore, Grand Prix, T3 and a few others. The good days!
Oh yeah!!!

This is definitely one of my favorite Offshore special editions ever. The watch itself is outstanding, but the box is also superb. Share more!! Peter
I'll certainly add a box photo and some others.

I relate most closely to this watch. I'll write some new comments soon. There are so many details only done for this edition. A true LE, not just a different dial color. This is the kind of AP I used to go crazy for. And really, the Starwheel is the first...

Well, it was released in 2008.

And AP used a very cool worldwide launch event. In fact, we all viewed a short movie on it around the world at the same time. It was epic. Inspired by a multitude of weapons, and designed by Octavio Garcia (who made the sketch you see on the wall for me d...
I recall you attended the international Survivor release?
By: MichaelC : March 8th, 2024-22:06
Maybe at the boutique in France? This one remains polarizing, but regardless of which side of the fence you are on, AP can be credited for originality. Nothing on this watch - aside from the movement - is recycled from another Offshore. Everything was new...
My line was in the water for years ;-)

Glad to finally reel it back in. End of Days, for me the one that really started the Offshore craze (even though upon release it was not a hit). Montoya really took things to the next level, breaking many barriers, and paving the way for this weapon-theme...
The "metal things" are actually hinged pusher guards.
By: MichaelC : March 12th, 2024-14:33
The snap open and allow access to operate the chronograph functions. Otherwise, their duty is to protect the pushers. It is one of the best features of this unique timepiece. There is a very tactile sensation when you operate the guards. They lock positiv...
