2013. Jarno Trulli, Schumacher, and a fake RBII

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore. Some special ones.

From left to right: Trulli, Barrichello and Juan Pablo Montoya: Among these three, which is your favorite? For me: JPM first, then Barrichello. All three are Titanium, by the way. Best, Nicolas

Royal Oak Offshores...

Once upon a time, like 15 years ago, I had a few of them: Seems like people are shying away from these nowadays. I was very fond of the RBII and JPM too, and their prices are becoming quite attractive. On the other hand, the 15202 Jumbo in white dial whic

Yes, there was a lot of complaining about it.

Mostly about the re-dialing of chronographs, dealer editions, etc. Somehow AP got away from offering at least 1 cool and unique Offshore each year. I think the new 43mm End of Days says it all. To me, it is just another 43mm Offshore. To call it an "End o

I was discussing this with a friend earlier. AP used to thrive on individuality.

And they still do with highly complicated pieces. But outside of the CODE Starwheel, what have we seen recently with unique detailing like a Survivor or Barrichello? Or even movement based rarities like the regatta countdown timers on the Polaris / carbon

Holy cow blast from the past!

Great to hear from you Anthony - Hope you are doing well! Love this piece - wish they put Arabics in the new Ceramic Offshores because I would totally go bonkers on those. Please post more often - I still remember your old Panerai and Barrichello RG posts

More charm and soul on the original, no doubt. Truth be told, this is not an LE in the normal AP way.

It appears to be just new combination of materials and colors, limited in production. I think it looks fantastic. But it is not in the vein of a RBII, JPM, Survivor, etc. Of course, we could almost say the same on the original, which was a 25770 variant,
