Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26238TI
I don't see many posts about this particular watch. Any TRFs have it? I'd love to see some wrist shots and hear some opinions on it. I think the green dial looks fantastic with the green strap.

A friend has one. It is titanium but I didn't think it was, figured and felt like steel, until I later looked up the specs. I don't know its weight all titanium case or parts of it. The green is not quite as vibrant as the photo in original post. It's more muted but beige or brown in any way, definitely is green.

I have it
It’s awesome Has a heft to it yet it’s super light if that makes sense Not top heavy like the steel ROOs at all And the green is a perfect shade. It doesn’t scream green I’ll post some pix in a sec |

What a stunner. I was just looking at this watch on the AP website. Hadn’t noticed it until today, but looks like a great reference.

I like this model but in baby blue. Not sure if it’s to large on a 7 inch hand. Would definitely buy it if it became available. It appears that AP will you the anniversary to focus on the RO campaign.

Really nice model, I tried it on at AP house few months back. The only thing I'd say is that it would only match green straps if you're thinking abt changing it

42mm ROO on 7" wrist. Probably wouldn't want the watch to be much larger or the wrist much smaller, but I think it's ok. Next year is the 30 year anniversary for the ROO, so I expect more attention to turn there (although a lot already happened last year with the new Diver, 43mm and updated movements).

All I can say again is how comfy it is and the titanium looks the business
It gets a lot of compliments when I wear it I like it much better than the steel models comfort wise |

I have the Gulf and the Gray Ghost. The Gray Ghost (titanium) is definitely more comfortable but I love both.

This watch was on my wishlist and just got the call today that it will be in this week! I’m super pumped but will be my first offshore. I think this model will fit me best because of the lightweight titanium and smaller 42mm size. Anybody else got anymore pics to share or thoughts if you already own?

Love this reference and I’m a complete sucker for green watches!
Great that it also comes with the black calfskin strap too. Just out of interest how would you guys compare this ROO 42 to the Diver 42mm in Khaki? Interested to hear more views please. |

The khaki diver to me looked like pea soup I really didn’t vibe with it
Yet I love the green on the roo Depends on what you and your eye likes I know it’s hard without seeing in person I was lucky enough to see both before I decided |

I tried the Diver on last year (below) and instantly liked it; And I did have this older Diver at the time as my reference point but have since sold that to a close friend; I think that Green can be a divisive colour (in general really) but until I see a 26238Ti in the flesh I am still edging towards adding the Khaki Diver next year to my collection....and especially with adding the 3rd strap option of the Beige Calfskin strap in addition to the OEM Green and Black rubber offerings. Will try to see if AP House have the Green chrono in for when I'm next there. |

Bought my 26238ti and should be receiving it tomorrow! Super excited and my first reference from the boutique. Have a 26315 ruthenium dial but got that from a grey dealer. Pics to come tomorrow
