A dream come true - almost 15 years in the making

Dear All, Here are a few shots of my latest acquisition ( actually a gift from my wife): after a 15 years wait I’m finally a proud owner of an Offshore!!! This is the watch which started my passion for horology, 15 years ago I was a co-op in a big multina...  

A dream come true! Congrats Seb!

I drooled over AP many years before I ever bought one. When we are speaking about Royal Oak Offshores, the 42mm is the one for me too. I love your ghost and the strap is an interesting choice. I have a Safari myself, and the strap remains one of the best ... 

Congrats!

My only question here is: where do you find such wives?😅

My wife to be sweet✅ My wife to accept my hobby✅ My wife to accept that I spent a lot of time with watch friends✅ My wife to buy me my dream watch-that button doesn’t activate. How do you fix that? Congrats again!

Got it. But what if I loose the being sweet functionality when upgrading to “ buy me watches for my b-day”?

I can’t risk that. I’ll stay with the hand wound chronograph where I’m in control😎

15 years. That must be really satisfying.

It looks great on your wrist, and as others have said the strap choice is uncommon but works. I’ve always loved these straps. Congratulations. Enjoy it.

Congratulations! Great achievement.

Enjoy it forever in good health.👍

Congrats on your “ghost”.

Since you mentioned it was a gift from your wife, may I recommend getting it engraved with something meaningful on the case back?

congratulation Sebks [nt]
