Hey Guys,

I am having a big dilemma choosing my 3rd AP offshore.

Currently have the following 2 AP offshores,
The 42mm Blue dial and 44mm Novelty Steel.
Wearing the 42mm as my daily watch and leaving the 44mm as the weekender.

Ready to get my 3rd AP to add to the rotation during Mon to Fri.
(Pics borrowed from the internet, thanks v much to the owners for these amazing photos, credits to you)

Either:
AP offshore 42mm Grey Themes in titanium with bracelet:

OR
AP offshore 42mm Diver Steel with rubber strap:
Would like add the bracelet if I finally go with the Diver.

Will be nice to hear some 3rd parties opinions/thoughts.

Cheers

Everyone needs a diver in their life =)

Dickson Lim · 1 December 2013, 06:19 PM

Diver for me to spice things up!

Soly20 · 1 December 2013, 06:51 PM

Why don't you get an RO to really shake it up a bit. 15400? Can be dressy (which you don't have in your AP collection yet) and sporty.

orangedial · 1 December 2013, 08:54 PM

Agree with Soly. The 15400 is a nice daily watch

travisb · 1 December 2013, 09:16 PM

Gotta go with the Diver.

I LOVE your original blue dial Offshore.

Go for an RO or ROC - makes a very nice contrast with your bigger pieces - and wear similar I terms of size (but not height) to the 42mm ROO.

That said, of your 2 options I would go for the Titanium themes for the lightness and wearability.

Cheers!

HKRolexFans · 1 December 2013, 11:25 PM

I vote for the 15400 RO, your collect needs it to complete

Ristretto · 1 December 2013, 11:29 PM

15400

gmlomas · 1 December 2013, 11:44 PM

15400 or 15300...pure class, and something added to your collection. Another ROO would be too much for me. Good luck

epic · 1 December 2013, 11:46 PM

Thanks guys for the opinions so far.. Nice to know..

Actually a 15400 or a 41mm chrono is in the pipeline down in 6 months.

The 42mm titanium theme does not seems to be quite a popular model and rather understated unlike the diver n other offshore models.

Cheers

gmlomas · 1 December 2013, 11:47 PM

Ok...then the question should be your 4th AP?

QueueCumber · 2 December 2013, 12:06 AM

If the decision isn't clear cut, then perhaps you don't really want any of them as badly as you think...

subtona · 2 December 2013, 12:09 AM

You have great taste! 2 of my favorite offshore models!

Of the two your looking at, the Diver for me.
But
I Agree with others, a base model would complement your collection...which one
15400/ 15300 / 15202 :)

cdnyc · 2 December 2013, 02:42 AM

15202

vitalsignsrn · 2 December 2013, 02:49 AM

The diver. :-)

sea-dweller · 2 December 2013, 03:02 AM

Another vote for the Diver!

AK797 · 2 December 2013, 03:20 AM

Diver and then ROC or RO sounds a perfect 4some.

dpkong · 2 December 2013, 03:34 AM

I really like the titanium and it really feels and looks great on the wrist especially when outdoor!

DreambreaX · 2 December 2013, 01:03 PM

gold RO is recommended. why steel all the 3?

Hairdude1 · 2 December 2013, 03:12 PM

I say this...

Dcmk · 2 December 2013, 09:56 PM

Happy dilemma a first world problem

NutNut · 2 December 2013, 10:31 PM

The Diver on a bracelet would be a very nice addition.

Eugene-Taiwan · 3 December 2013, 12:10 AM

Another vote for a Diver. Give some diversity to the already 2 chrono APs in your collection.

Hey guys,

Thanks so much for all the comments and opinions,
Really interesting to read and ponder..

I tried on both watches before deciding and find it hard to believe how comfortable the full titanium offshore wears n feel.

If anyone not tried the titanium offshore, do try and let me know how you feel about it.

I finally went for the one in the pic.

Next in the pipeline will be 15400 or diver in the next 3 months

I am a happy man...

Cheers
