Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore G series vs H series

Hey everyone new to the forum just wanted to know if anyone has a info or a link to somewhere that lists out the differences between serials on the Royal Oak specifically Rubberclad between G series and H series

I see the Chrono second hand is White (G) vs Silver (H)
Same for the AP logo white v silver
The date window the G has white with black writing and H has black with white writing
And the numbers seem to be more bright white on H vs G they are little tinted yellow in which you can tell they will Glow in the dark

Are there more differences? is this something that's just between G and H or they just happen to be different serials but do not define the change. Thanks

Welcome... I'm sure it's just the lighting that makes the hands look white or silver. It should be outlined in silver and white inside. As for the date wheel, I believe they're all white, but could've been replaced with a black wheel.

Incorrect.
When talking about Black dial RC, two very distinctly different versions.
I don't recall on serial numbers, sorry! But the new version is referred to as the "2012 Rubberclad".
OG version - greenish tinted numerals, white ap logo, white large chrono seconds hand, white dw/black numbers, base of chrono counters (6/9/12) HANDS is a black mounting base. Lume glows greenish (obviously.)
2012 version - more crisp white numerals, silver/chrome ap logo, silver/chrome large chrono seconds hand, black dw/white numbers, base of chrono counters (6/9/12) HANDS is a silver/chrome mounting base, AND silver numeral surrounds/trim/borders. Lume glows more of an aquamarine blue (BGW9 - like Rolex.)

I think that is all the differences - at least all that I remember at the moment!
Hope I've helped!

Are you guys referring to the RG? For some reason I thought he was referring to the SS.

My understanding is that there is no difference between the G serial and H serial stainless steel ROOs that come with the reference 26170st. For the stainless steel Rubberclad with reference 25940st, there are distinct differences between the G and H serials, with the most noticeable being that the Arabics on the G dial have a light "green" lume, as compared to the crisp white lume in the Arabics on the H dial. Other differences are outlined in "sssteel's" post above.

He was talking about the Stainless Steel, Black dial.
My post outlined (as I stated at the top of it) - differences in Black dial, SS version. There are certainly two models of that. I was NOT referring to the RoseGold Rubberclad at all - though there are also very clearly two versions of that one as well too!!

OG RC Black




2012 RC





OG RGRC




2012 RGRC




******NOTE: One dial of the white RC ;)
The OG RGRC has a dial very similar (though not exact!) to the Chronopassion. Who here knows THAT watch?!? ;) ******
