I'm a bigger fan of the PP 5711 than of that particular AP. The only AP that I'm personally looking at is the SS Jumbo. But, if I were to ever get an AP ROO it would be the Safari.

ROO are not my taste, I like the classic Royal Oak and the Nautilus.

Judging by your avatar you cool with the size so ROO may be for you. I would much much rather have the 5711 though

5711 every day of the year ROO an acquired taste, but if you like them go for it.

5711 by a mile. The Offshore models just seem like novelties.

They're so very different in style, it's a little surprising you're deciding between the two.
Little like choosing between a Hummer and a BMW.

I agree. It also depends on what else is in your collection.
