Getting the Royal Oak Elephant
I'm close to finally getting the Royal Oak Elephant but have a few questions i'd like your input on since I'm not too familiar with AP watches.
- Price i was quoted for a new watch is $18,411. Is that a good deal? - When will the new models come out? Or at least expected to come out? - Is it a good time to buy the ROO? Any other models you recommend for me to consider? Price range is the same. - Which model from the Royal Oak Offshore do you prefer and why? If it makes any difference, I'm around 6'4 200 pounds.

How durable are these APs compared to Rolex?

Looks great on you!
There has been talks of a new ROC movement next SIHH and that movement will probably end up in the ROO...but the thing is these new ceramic pusher and refined ROO"s are just a couple years old.. I think it's a good time and honestly if you love it just get it....if you don't love it pass on it. I have no idea what a good price is on the elephant haha |

Seems like a good price to me, assuming that's brand new from the AD! It looks great on you. I have one too and love it. Pre-congrats.

It is the best watch in that price range, and the given price is solid.
