Just saw AP releasing these limited edition offshores.

Love that they brought back the 37mm Offshore that is unisex I think where the direction is going.

What do y’all think?

It's cool and different, but don't know if it'll age well. Got the call for an allocation a day before the official release for my wife. She didn't dig it, so we turned it down. I'm sure there will be plenty of takers, especially those in the music business

Not sure about the titanium versions, possibly too loud even for me, but I love the black ceramic, I’ve asked for one and it’ll get worn a lot and have a hard life, but agree that it may get old to some.

Love the ceramic, but not high enough up to get one so not even gonna ask!

ROOs aren't in the same category of difficulty as the RO - no news there - but of course any AP is tough to get, but no one should be dissuaded from asking for anything. I've asked, but nothing is promised, indeed more often than not AP don't commit to me on anything, they'd rather under promise and over delivery.

So please, anyone and everyone, ask for what you want, if you don't ask you definitely won't get. Just temper that request with a healthy dose of current market conditions.

In Token74's case, he's MORE THAN qualified to ask AP for anything, what a great collection he has.

I hope this is a sign of 37 ROO’s with a non-diamond bezel. That plus quick change straps = exactly what would tip the scales on that model for me.

Cool release - it’s creative!

Exactly! Been waiting for this moment myself. A 39mm Offshore would be ideal for me.

Agree! I would definitely be interested in a 37mm ROO without diamonds.

37mm Offshore is not unisex, it's for women. Men where the 42,43,44+ sizes

In the instagram reel the male and female models are wearing this so I suspect AP intend this to be unisex.

Also think this is much more geared for a younger generation too.

I like the ceramic one but agree with above poster that it won’t age well. AP should just release a 40mm ROO for small wristed men like me

Men wear whatever size they think fits them best! Im a man, a skinny 6'2 one, and a 42/43 looks like a satellite dish on a my wrist....

I like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Rainbow” 15413BC more, but this would fit those who are in the music industry.

Not for me.

gretch6364 · 6 July 2022, 12:49 AM

I do love that they chose the 43mm case size, even though its not a chrono. Also love that they did it in ceramic. Would love to see a standard model 43mm ceramic chrono. Also, wish we could get some divers with a ceramic bezel with the slope and updated sunken case back.

These last couple special editions are obviously not for everyone...but I do like that they are experimenting a bit and doing more then just changing colors. It is fun and playful...which despite what Rolex says, should be allowed.

What's this about the sunken caseback - is it a new design they added recently?

Wondering if it means the flared lugs will sit closer to the wrist now...

I would like to see AP concentrate more on developing movements than iced out watches in different forms.

Ummm….what movement would you propose they work on? Since the Code release, they have a new in-house self winding chrono, new date and time, new ultra thin for the jumbo, not to mention RD-3 and other complex movements. They already do amazing perpetual calendars….

Indeed they have come out with some very nice new ones movements, I am currently enjoying 2 of these you have mentioned in fact.
I should have maybe rephrased to say they should focus on some other complications (my sincere apologies). It would be nice to see something like the dual time zones, day dates they used to make. Right now there is a three hander, Chronograph, then super complicated tourbillon, openworked, QP etc. it would nice to have some in between.
And I still stand by the fact that they over do the icing out, it’s a bit of a joke.
But that’s just my opinion.

Oh noooo need to apologize. No one should be that sensitive on the internet to take what you said as an insult, etc....I am certainly not!

I didn't even think of the day date, since that feels so much Rolex forever...even though many others do it. Might be fun for AP to do it in a Lange kind of way like the Daymatic...I am certainly a fan of annual calendars, but wonder if that would cheapen the perpetual models a bit.

I get the desire for a dual time or GMT of some sort....if they do, I would vote something really simple with an hour hand that hides and a very small day/night indicator....or do it with a Code 11.59 and not the RO/ROO. Maybe do all three in teh 11.59 first.

Question was not for me but there are many "holes" in AP's catalogue. AP is the only holy trinity brand that does not offer a dual time complication in their sports watches. They also neither offer a complete calendar nor an annual calendar, only a QP which again is something offered by both PP and VC. These are just some things I hope AP is working on.

look at the clientele they want to push this one. migos, kevin hart and meek mill. I feel like Jay-z is already too sophisticated in his watch taste and he only goes for the more subtle / intricate pieces like the skeletons.

You are right. I will just never understand it and it doesn’t matter if I do either I guess.

Tried on the black ceramic one and its nice. At 43mm its a little big for me (5'8 160lbs). But I am a big music fan and its epic.

Asked for the 37mm for wife but she wants the gem version.

I like the direction AP is going - its fun.
