My Audemar's Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor

[Wheee]

Hey everyone,

I thought I'd take the opportunity to post my pictures of the one I got recently.

My mini review:

Love

- The overall look and feel of the watch.

- The weight feels great

- The strap and watch is quite comfortable to wear.

- The chrono guards make this AP ROO look different from all the other ones, and there is a nice subtle "click" noise when you close the guards.

- dial detail is amazing (other than the flaw I wrote below).

- casing is DLC coated titanium, which I heard was better than PVD coating. Case feels solid in any case.

Could be better

- There is no AR on the crystal. It made photographing this beast extremely problematic as it was hard to take out the reflections without blocking a lot of light. However, I hear that the genuine also has a non-AR crystal, though that still bugs me. In fact it was recommended that this is one of the few AP watches that would greatly benefit from AR. I might have to look into that.

Flaws

- the only flaw that I know about on this rep is that the datewindow is slightly too far to the right, and therefore the tachymetre scale around the 3 position is pretty much non-existant, a pretty easy tell. Apparently the date window is a common flaw in all AP ROO's from what I hear.

Everyone wants a wrist shot! This is actually VERY hard to take by myself! Especially when trying to eliminate glare off the crystal!!

Close up of the dial!!

Hope you guys enjoy!!

I've got mine on a Survivor hornback strap, I highly recommend it over the rubber.

Nice review!

I like the photo shots. You took care to give it just enough light to accentuate the darkness of the watch and the shadows it created. Beautiful!
