Awesome, congratulations. Really torn between the blue and the gray, but going to stick with the gray. It doesn't photograph well but in person it works for me.

I think you really cannot go wrong with blue, with the diver I agree the grey it gets washed out and the green, personally I'd like a more dark green and not the faded out lighter colour. I actually think for the diver the original black dial really has an aura about it

My eyes went straight to the green on these posts where I was previously gravitating to the grey one. I thought these would not be me but I like them.

I got the opportunity to check them all out in person a few weeks ago with Maciej and a friend. When they were originally released, I reached out to my SA and registered my interest in the green. After seeing them in person, I'm glad I did. Green stood out the most to me.

I just wish there was a ceramic bezel on this reference, I think it would be a great touch. Especially when you put it on the secondary black strap.







Luckily, I was offered the opportunity to purchase the green one and took them up on it.

Yeah, I told them I'd love to find a way to get a ceramic bezel on it.

I even had Maciej do a quick photoshop for me to see how it would look.

Wowwww! .

I pray they release this or the full ceramic version (white, blue or green).

I’ll definitely be throwing my hat in for that

Full ceramic would be perfection, with ceramic bezel I could live with that as well.

I feel they're due for another full ceramic ROO.

Hopefully we'll see one soon.

Congrats to those of you that have been fortunate enough to pick one up. They look great! Does anyone have a shot of the display case back? What material is the winding rotor made of?

Winding rotor looks to be steel.

Actually the the cal. 4308 comes with a blackened 22-carat pink gold winding rotor. If you see it live you can notice it has much more darker and warmer tone than steel. It's a really cool detail.

Glad to hear it is precious metal. I think a watch at this price point, even if it’s steel, should have a precious metal winding rotor.

Can anyone justify the price difference between the black/white diver and the new 3 colours? its quite a big price in the UK.

The correct answer of course is that AP doesn't need to justify anything they do price-wise in the current bubble.

But for the diver it's not completely absurd to charge a few $k more for a newer movement, ceramic crown, nicer straps and the quick change strap and buckle. At least you get something for your money.

Thoughts on new 2021 AP Offshore divers?

Same treatment as the rotors on the 44mm Offshores.

And the 15710 has been discontinued so it’s not like there’s a direct choice (from new). The price for the 15720 is now the price for a diver.

I personally think that the Diver will be the next big hit for AP after the RO. 42mm with a valid reason to be a tool watch (300m water resistant), a mechanism for quick changing of strap and vibrant colours make it a really good pairing with a steel RO.
