Early Christmas for Me...
Christmas came early for me this year!
I have to say that I’m pretty exited about this one. It arrived just in time for Christmas. This beautiful piece was presented in 2006 and I’ve been on the hunt since. After nearly 11 years the Royal Oak Offshore Rubens Barrichello II is still one of the most coveted timepieces for us collectors. This timepiece honors the Brazilian Formula One driver Ruben Barrichello. This edition was made in 3 different metals: 1000 in Titanium (mine), 500 in Rose Gold and 150 in Platinum. The feel of this timepiece is just amazing compared to other Offshores. You can feel the formula one inspiration on this piece: From the engine hex screws to the wheel shaped case back, The pushers are shaped like exhausts, cogwheel shaped crown, pedal shaped plots and the ceramic bee is shaped like a ventilated brake disc. This timepiece feels like you have a Porshe 911 GT2 RS on your wrist. The black leather strap on this piece features perforations reminiscent of soft and comfortable driving gloves. It truly fits perfect and comfortable with its folding buckle but back to the watch! The partially visible movement on the dial along with the colors of the Brazilian flag on the chromo markers make a beautiful combination. This timepiece hit just at the 42mm mark but it wears a bit bigger than other Offshores and it’s probably because of its race car inspired case construction. This truly was a grail piece that I’ve been wanting to add for many years. I’ve would have loved to get this piece “BNIB” (Brand New In Box) but it’s nearly impossible. At the end I don’t think I will matter much because this baby will be speeding on my wrist for some time. Hope you enjoy! -Joe |

Congratulations! IMO the best looking Offshore money can still buy. An old school, but still very futuristic looking and a true icon in the Offshore collection. It was my grail for a very long time, until I've been downsizing my collection and watch sizes.
