Thanks for this terrific post Ed!
What a great refresher on the Offshore in general. I have always found the yellow dial alluring. It seems to fit the Offshore theme very well. And you know my affinity for the old school notched case type. I believe we will see it used again in the future.
My experience with the older movements is the same - they will continue to run and run well for many years. Glad to hear the owner of this piece wears it on a regular basis too.
Happy Anniversary to ThePuristS and Audemars Piguet: Prototype series 3, the Royal Oak Offshore
To celebrate the 12 th Anniversary of ThePuristS and the 20 th anniversary of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, I thought it would be fitting to share a few pics of the Royal Oak Offshore Prototype Number 000. This special Offshore is in the private...

I hope to see the reissue of the case in the future too
Thanks Michael, I'm with you on the movement, it's impressive to see that it's been running well for so many years. Regards, ED-209
Thanks very much for this...
...one of my favourite AP's of all time. Wonderful colour and still as striking today as when I first saw one years ago. Really like the PVD version too, Ming. Any more pics & info please? Thanks again. : )
You're welcome and about the prototype
Thanks Tony-GB for reading the post. Looking forward to my colleagues on their report on the special versions too. Regards, ED-209
I didn't know this proto. We learn every day. Thanks for this great post, Ed.
And yes, by the way, Happy anniversary to US! ;) Best, Nicolas
I enjoyed spending wrist time with it...
I used to think the Offshores were too big in diameter, but this one fits well. And yes, Happy 12th Anniversary to US and to our friends at AP. Regards, ED-209
This is a very nice post and I tried to find something ...
appropriate. Something from today ... I looked on the right ... and the left ... I tried it hard and looked everywhere ... At least (I guess) I found something HE (and some others) would like :-) Happy Anniversary , from me as well! Oliver ...
Yellow is the theme
:) Nice capture of all things yellow in your neighborhood. Regards, ED-209
Very interesting ED209.
I know one very cool Purist in particular that is a HUGE fan of yellow. Thanks for sharing. JerryW
Good times with AP
Always good times with AP's RO's and ROO's around, along with cool friends, great food and fast cars. Have a great weekend Jerry. Regards, ED-209 ...
Nice review and color offshore, especially....
The very rare apple green one. Love this one. ...
Tutti frutti colors
Hi Koen S., very cool about the green version, I haven't seen it in person before. Can you repost your pic as it doesn't show up. Regards, ED-209
Apple green Offshore
Here you go, the Apple Green version, first one I saw and bought it for the collection. Very rare in this color. ...
Cool, haven't seen that before in person
Thanks for the pics, looks like it's in perfect condition. Does it get regular wrist time? Regards, ED-209
Happy Birthday ROO and purists
Kudos to Emmanuel Gueit for that one, the original Genta was a very refined watch, an vision of a high horology steel watch. The ROO is a brutal masucline sports watch, so far away from the RO actually with its own charm. It worked pretty well for AP.
Offshore design
I agree, kudos to Emmanuel Gueit and Stephen Urquhart for their efforts and vision in the Offshore design. Thanks for reading the report. Regards, ED-209
Great report, Ed!
Thank you for sharing this. I really enjoyed reading this about the prototype. I am especially glad to see even this very special Offshore having an active life among PuristS all over the world. It is inspirational. All the best, respo
Inspirational Offshore
Thanks for the compliments respo, glad to hear you enjoyed reading about this Offshore. Regards, ED-209
OEM strap !
Love Ed's review on a historic ROO I really enjoyed it. As to the owner feel free to PM me if your interested I have a brand new strap for your piece would be a great spare strap. I had it as an extra I never used on my EOD's enjoy your gem.
Thank you for the info!
I have been a fan of the notched case for some time now. It gives the ROO very elegant lines, and it is much more comfortable. One of mine says hi,.... Best regards Victor ...
Awesome Offshore you have there
Hi Victor, Thanks for checking out the report, your Offshore looks awesome. Regards, ED-209
