My Audemar's Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor


Wheee

Recommended Posts

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!!
