Survivor Love
Ten years after its launch in 2008, I am still smitten with the Survivor. Once again, I am considering hunting down one of these beasts. Any owners, or non-owners for that matter, who might share their thoughts on the Survivor after its first decade? Has ...
I had the opportunity to see it in Paris when it was unveiled, yes, some ten years ago...
An impressive beast, to say the least, in the line and spirit of the End of Days. Still, when it comes to ROO, the End Of Days is above this Survivor, for me, and two others are winning against this one, the JPM in titanium, and the Orchard Road. The PVD?...
You are no doubt right...

...an envious wrist nothing better than these rare sporty offshoots )
I agree
But I think this is the case for any watch: it must be assessed in terms of the specific wrist it will be adorning. I have tried on the Survivor and felt that it fit my wrist comfortably. Thanks, respo
OK Respo, I'm all in favor of you getting this monster.
I am privileged to have some great APs, and have owned a handful of various Offshores over the years. I ultimately decided that the Rubens Barrichello II in titanium was the single greatest limited edition piece AP made for my personal tastes. The irony i...
Thank you!!!!!
I really appreciate your thoughts and additional photos. The size and comfort of the Survivor do not worry me. How well the PVD coating holds up does, but I am glad to hear your experience in this regard was positive. PVD-coated watches always make me ner...
