Titanium, hands down.

The grey titanium Offshore is the best 42mm Offshore made today, imo.  The color scheme is unusual without being obtrusive.  In fact, it's quite subdued.  On the other hand, there are a lot of red-accented black dial watches out there.  

In addition, I also like the slim numerals on the titanium model. They remind me of reference 25770.




Good luck.

Which ceramic bezel ROO?

 
 By: jlux : January 30th, 2020-05:28
For a coming round birthday I want to add again a ROO to my collection. It definitely got to be a version with a scratch proof ceramic bezel as the vulnerability of the steel bezel was the main reason why I let my previous version go. It also needs to be ...  

Can you think of any occasion during any sporting activity when it wouldn’t be advantageous to have a lighter watch on?

That’s why I’ve always considered titanium to be the perfect case material for a sports watch. Vote for Ti.

my 2 cents

Hi Gerard, I have a slight preference for the titanium one.. not only for its lightweight but also the overall grey and white scheme and design. I can also see that the steel version with dashes of red here and there would also be very appealing ! Best re...

Black is bolder, more “macho”

And that’s not bad, but grey is... nicer, more subtle, I don’t know how to describe it. After looking a lot the steel one, I would probably go for the grey titanium. In my mind I could play with straps more with it than with the steel one. Just imagine it... 

Your remark about the contrast of the sub dials and rehaut is very valid.

Makes the watch also look a bit more compact.

Indeed 👌🏼 [nt]

On paper, the default consensus would be towards the cleaner, lighter Ti ..

And I share the same sentiment. But in reality, I'd probably be wearing the steel with black ceramic with regularity even more so if it was on a simple black strap. The Ti version is really cool and quite appealing but my wearing instincts would automatic... 

Yes,this one certainly has a lot of character.

Just noticed that AP has had a significant price increase for the beginning of 2020. With this they have lost me as a potential customer : sometimes enough is just enough! I will now turn my attention (and money) to other brands.

Big surprise, "Vlad"

It is Draculesque!

Gosh, I love grey. Grey grey grey...

But here, there is something about that black bezel that intrigues me. And frankly I'm tired of red details, too many watches have that. But aside from the strap which is easily changed, it is so subtle. I would gamble on it.
