and the yellow accents really add a ruggedness to it. A simple bumblebee.

Cooler than cool!

 

The big tapestry with the fluorescent hands reminded me at first glance the almighty EOD (which is probably my fav RO), and with the special forged carbon case and ceramet bezel, droooool.

 

Let's wait to see it live on thursday and see how it feels on the wrist. I'll take some wrist shots.

 

 

Thanks.

Hey, not necessarily a bad thing... but this endless variation of the same thing makes me sleepy....

If I could pinpoint my biggest criticism of AP it would be the endless variations of the same pieces.

.... also probably due to Allen's amazing picture but that FC diver really speaks to me.

to being there, of course.

I love that, it's probably fantastic in person.

Reminds me of the IWC Aquatimer at first glance. I like the forged carbon addition with the ceramic bezel and steel plots. Will have to see it in person but from the pictures I think I like the looks of this better than the original Diver. It is clearly a step up in terms of materials. Although I can only imagine the price being in the mid 30's or so if the current Diver is around 21 and change. Hmm..

I like the Offshore Diver, I feel that it has so much more character than the Patek Philippe Aquanaut (which is a very comfortable thinner watch).  But this particular model reminds me of the IWC Aquatimer...  

The Aquatimer seemed to always have some silver colored steel or titanium parts showing.

That is good news.  Now I'm excited to see it in person!

Is that a tourbillon royal oak...skeletonized, and in steel?

Made for the year of the dragon

Wow thatks for the pics...

The Carbon Offshore Diver looks very nice in your pic!

Cheers,
Anthony

The RO skeleton tourbillon looks fantastic.  I'll also be curious to see the new diver. 

Great pictures!

Cheers,

I need to see it in flesh, but the RO Skeleton Tourbillon is one of the best looking watches that I have ever seen! A true masterpiece (based on one single pic, I know)!  Guess it will be out of my range, but who knows, I might win at the lottery one of these days.

I do not have the same enthusiasm for the new forged carbon Diver as for the original version two years ago.  The watch looks cool, but I do much prefer the steel version by far.

All the best

Although initially my heart sank as I already have the ss and my firat reaction was that I prefer the new one

I am really annoyed by all the pandering to the chinese swiss watch companies are doing these days.  It just reeks of a mad cash grab.  We are going to see dragon or panda watches from every brand and its just ridiculous, no matter how well executed the actual watches are.

The world economy is in a sad state when slapping a dragon on something is the only way to sell a 100k+ tourbillon

Amen

Mo

with their "put a single Chinese character on the dial, call it a special edition"

have seen too many watches with dragons and pandas on the dial.

Nothing wrong with watch companies ( and other industries ) knowing their market. If there is a market for dragon ( very powerful symbol in chinese culture and this the year of the Dragon ) tourbys it makes sense to supply. There are many other toubys by different manufacturers , so just move on and buy what appeals to you. This message has been edited by dreamer8 on 2012-01-16 15:51:03
