jeff g Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) Have any of our members ordered and received either the newly offered AP RO jumbo, or the newly offered Diver? Edited December 24, 2010 by jeff g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted December 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 bump...Seemed like there was a lot of interest when the diver and new jumbo were first offered. Has anyone ordered either of these models ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yes I did. I'll slap up some pics and my impressions tomorrow Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Here are some quick and ohh so crappy pics... Initial impressions: 1. I received a sample watch, so my datewheel is not black (although I have a black datewheel on the way to me). 2. Bezel ring does not click nor does the bezel crown screw down or lock. Does the OEM ring click/ratchet? 3. There is no lume on the bezel ring at all. 4. There is essentially non-existant lume on the dial and hands. 5. Dial is great. Fonts, marker outlines, moirée pattern, etc are well executed. 6. My bezel has an uneven finish. Close but not 'Euno-Perfect'. 7. Rubber strap is excellent, solid and does not attract dust. 8. Clasp is marvelous. 9. Caseback is perfect. 10. Case is well-executed and finish is perfect. This watch needs lume. Even crappy rep lume--which this watch doesn't really have. No lume on the bezel and basically no lume on the dial/hands. The bezel ring IMO should lock via pull-out crown of some sort. Maybe the OEM doesn't have this feature, but it makes sense to me that it would/should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgematic1 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 yep indeed! wait! the best version should be here before CNY, as theo says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Can you good folks let me know who will be offering this 'best version'? Will it be available from the usual sources? Will it have a ratcheting/locking bezel ring? Will it have dial and bezel lume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactower Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 "Unscrewing the crown at 10 o’clock operates the inner rotating dial ring with increments demarcated at five-minute intervals." http://www.ablogtoread.com/audemars-piguet-royal-oak-offshore-diver-watch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 ^^^Thanks for the link to the nice article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbjoer Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Bezel ring not screwing down basically makes it useless/lethal as a diving watch (assuming it is water proof.... ) This one has a way to go before it is there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenpang Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 how large does it wear? more like AP ROO or AP Jumbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianGP Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I'm assuming more like the ROO based on the construction of the case. The RO Jumbo is mucho thinner in relation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
