I was hoping to get some information on the availability of the Royal Oak Offshore Divers. Specifically the model below. Can this be easily had with no purchase history from a AP Boutique? Thanks in advance.

Assume you are already in touch with your local AP Boutique? Relatively speaking I’d imagine that Diver isn’t that hard as a first purchase but it’ll depend on your boutique and any relationship that you can cultivate with them to start your AP journey.

Good luck

Great choice. That was my first piece back in June 2022 after just 2-3 weeks wait. Now, that was after unsuccessful visits to other AP boutiques.

Define "easily" - will you walk out of the boutique with the watch the same day? Probably not. Will you get one with a few months wait? Possible in many locations.

From what I have seen on Chrono24. The Offshore Diver can be had for less than retail? Is this accurate?

Yes. I have just started looking as well.

Most of the "entry level" AP's are under retail. But to my surprise, my AD never called to say my watch was in. I got tired and bought gray.

If this is the only watch you want from AP ever, then buy it used. If you want to buy a RO at retail, but it from the boutique. Prices seem to be only slightly less than retail + tax anyway

This is very doable as a first watch after a relatively short wait (few months)

This is good advice.
