I haven’t seen a thread dedicated to the original Royal Oak Offshore aka The Beast. So I thought I’d start a thread dedicated to what I believe is the purest expression of the ROO.

I’ll share a few pics of mine and would love to see pics from other owners that are enjoying this beauty!

Love it such a cool looking piece!

Great post and pics. It really does look super.

HK Islandboy · 19 May 2019, 12:06 AM

That is a wonderful piece

SMD · 19 May 2019, 12:39 AM

Unfortunately, I only have the reissue.

Congratulations; it's a fantastic piece! May I ask if you can share some additional photos of it on a rubber strap?

Haha, glad I am not the only one taking wrist shots while waiting in traffic

26237ST reissue is really nice, on the waitlist for one its been almost a year.

Another version of the 25721, with my 25721TI (120grams). This is my daily since its much light than the beast but has the same wrist presence/feel.

Lol. I am sure we are not the only one doing it

.
25721TI looks good! Thought about picking that up instead when I was looking for the reissue. Like that it’s much lighter.

Thank you all for the pictures of the 'Beast' with a rubber strap - it looks excellent!

karasus · 5 June 2019, 07:03 AM

I'm currently on the waitlist for the reissue, how long did you have to wait to get yours?

The way it worked for me was at the beginning of the year I asked for a few pieces. A couple weeks later they got back to me with what I was allocated (26237). After that radio silence for about 3 months and then they let me know it was in. I did not get it for another month as I wanted the rubber strap and it literally took them a month to get the strap and buckle. How that makes any sense I have no idea. I got mine at NYC boutique and I don't think they really do waitlists. You ask, they allocate and that is that. At least that has been my experience.

My guess is you will have to wait until next year when there are new allocations unless someone fails to take a previously allocated piece.
