I never expect that I’ll end up with an Offshore as I always thought that it is too big for me. It used to be only regular ROs for me:

First I bought a 14970 in blue dial:

Then came a Quantieme Annuel:

I also owned the Moonphase:

And the Military Dial 14790 too:

Even the RO Chrono joined late as I didn’t think I can pull off its larger size, but it has become one of my favourite watches:

I only started to look at the Offshore range when I saw the ‘Pride of Mexico’ in picture…

When I chance upon the JBB in person some time ago, I know it’ll be the one for me, as I love its colour scheme as well as the black hexagonal PVD screws – I think it goes well with the black crown and chrono pushers. The fact that it comes in Titanium also helps as it wouldn’t be too heavy when fitted with bracelet. So I got mine a week ago and have been enjoying it immensely all these while:

Didn't know that!

The Military dial was on my mind, some 7 or 8 years ago...

Congrats on your new piece, have fun with it!

... enjoyed reading your AP RO journey. the ROO looks great to me too, the size seems right on your wrist.

how long have you started from the first simple RO to this ROO?

stefan

Glad that you enjoy it.

I got the 14790 way back in 2002, so it took a little more than 8 years.

in bracelet form and because it's in Ti, it looks & feels right IMO.A stunning outcome due to the yellow numerals & the Black PVD screws. Congrats!

cheers

Now that you've been wearing Offshores, do your smaller Royal Oaks feel small on the wrist or see less wrist time as a result?

Cheers,
Anthony

I haven't switch to anything else since I have the JBB!

For sure, the regular ROs will feel a little small as I already felt it after getting the RO Chrono...

But all it takes is a little time (maybe a couple of days) to get acquainted with the smaller size again.

Goh

It looks awesome on your wrist...

And such a great collection of AP RO you got there...

Have a great weekend!

Enjoy it....

As Anthony ask, how do you feel/compare wearing it vis a vis the ROs?



Cheers

for me, the primary difference is the increased thickness of the ROO...which I feel is more significant than the increased diameter.

All in all, the ROO feels more chunkier.

For reference, my wrist is about 6.5 - 6.6 inches and wear the ROO with one removable link.

Best,

Goh

Enjoy it....

Cheers

ps. A beautiful watch that you have as your avatar, you still have it?

I have not own (nor see one in person) that nice Journe Centigraphe.

I feel that it adds a little colour but one that I can only admire from afar.

Best,
