Thank you for your response.
Thanks for the answer MichaelC
I love the Leo Messi, and thank you for your advice.I agree that it is one of the "nicer"models, and I mean they are all great at the moment! Very solid advice and I will listen too it. When I first put on the Leo Messi it came with a "Grey(isn)" leather strap, and although beautiful in its own right, it just did not do the watch justice, thats why I changed to black. The Messi also came with a rubber (a la offshore) rubber strap, and while "sporty" it really took away from the watch. as the dial (sorry for the blurry photos) is not black but rather a grey // green tint dial. I feel that the skeleton (and damn the skeleton picture when I open Purist) is just an amazing attribute to the beauty of AP .
I am also admiring from one of my oldest friends his RO offshore RG updated model. Very sleek.
Thank you for making me feel welcome.

Something Different!
First of all I would like to say a hello to the forum. It has been a real pleasure seeing some of the beautiful watches that people post to these forums and it is really great to see how many people appreciate the beauty of Audemars Piguet. I have had the...
We like different here, and that Leo Messi RG is beautiful!
Absolutely one of my favorite current APs. I have had it on my wrist and it is super. My honest recommendation is to slow down and enjoy that watch. You seem to have established you enjoy the Royal Oak line more, and you have captured a rare and wonderful...

Masterly Inactivity
Mr F, Welcome. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Leo Messi edition is attractive especially as it is sombre enough for work and play. I agree with MichaelC to slow down. Whilst your tale of the chase was amusing, I lost count of the AP watches. The t...
Jerry identifies a key underlying issue here in his reply below
You just might to continue to identify new "grails" as you go. I would hate to see you skip over something so quickly and want to come back to it later Mr. F. And this phenomenon is not something that happens only to newer fans of the brand. I consider my...
Welcome Mr. F
I know how you feel. MichaelC has given great advice. Once hooked on AP you will continue to find new grails, at least I do. Grail 1, this one started it all for me. Grail 2, coolest AP I own. Grail 3, the perfect AP. Grail 4, and the madness continues. B...
Looking good, as usual, Jerry...
I still adore that RG City Of Sails Royal Oak Chronograph. Such a beauty. Thanks for reminding us of these golden gems!
Welcome here, Mr F.
To answer your question, yes, I would trade these 2 watches for the Royal Oak perpetual calendar skeleton. This Watch is such a piece of Art, and such a piece of delicacy! Best, Nicolas
Thank You PuristSPro!

You seem to be in the throes of wild obsession. HAVE FUN! I would not take on a mad trade, believing that your Grail is in reach. If I may be so bold... you seem like a collector who is going to go through many-a-watch before he reaches his (probably unex...
