marcoxxx1984 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hi guys, I'm ready to make the first step into the AP world... I'm going to buy one Offshore sec@12... I've read anything on this forum but I've some question for you gurus: - Is the Offshore sec@12 waterproof? I mean I know the dealers use to say that it's waterproof but a friend of mine said me its offshore has some fog inside the crystal when he swims.... - Which is more accurate between the black theme and the navy?? I prefer the Navy but I'm quite scared about the color of the pushers... so HELP ME!!! - How many chances have I that it live at least till the end of the summer? (I know The Zigmeister review but I would like to know your experiences about the reliability... THANKS GUYS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 marcoxx.... I have both watches and I am very pleased with both of them. One cannot compare cause they are completely different. If you will get the upgraded black themes (black date-window), both watches are very near to the gen. Both watches are waterresistant (speaking of DIN specifications)...so you can easyly swim with them. But the NAVY has got a blue hornback croc-strap (fake croc) ...BTW: what a joke for a watch called NAVY!....so it will be more than risky to get that strap in the water and a black rubber will look bad on the NAVY.

marcoxxx1984 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Thank you PAM1A!!!! I'd go with the steel bracelet... so I'd avoid the fake croc of the Navy.... P.S. I think that AP watches on our forum are a little bit too expenses compared to the new one from our dealers... P.S.2 WHAT ABOUT THE RELIABILITY??? Thank you again!

MADRED7 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 The real NAVY does not have a steel bracelet, only the rep can be purchased with one. Anyway, all my sec@12 are reliable and run very accurate.....but as I stated I NEVER USE THE CHRONO! If you like to use the chrono from time to time you should go with a sec@9 because the replaced subdials with all those gears that don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcoxxx1984 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 You are a Guru!! I must confess I felt in love with the AP ROO of my chief... he has one with grey dial and with a velcro strap (inner side) and outside a normal buckle... AMAZING!!! Do you know where can I purchase one like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
