Offshore blue

ref 15605SK 00.A350CA.01

A new Blue Date only OffShore with a rubber bezel.

Any thoughts?

Looks like an old designs thats new again...

My AD just offered me this.

Looking for opinions on the watch, I'm just a sucker for a blue face!!!

If you like the size and colour combo, definitely get it! I think it’s one of the best looking ROO’s out there.

Great piece if your wrists can handle it! I think this can compete with the diver as one of the best entry pieces that AP offers

Nice watch but I wonder what gets you to buy a piece like this given your vast collection in of incredible pieces?

Great question - I have so many complicated watches sometimes a much simpler option makes a nice change. The original rubber clad was one of my earliest APs so a little bit of sentimentality thrown in too for good measure.

Doesn't look nice, the dial looks naked and boring.

It’s a three handed watch and not a tv… look at Rolex if you need 3-5 lines of text

Shots fired!

Right on though, I'd rather have this than 7 lines of text where Rolex tells me all the Daytona sheet details on the dial itself lol

How do you guys like it? Haven't seen one in person. I guess I have a soft spot since my first big boy watch was the themes and the RG rubber clad is one of my favorites. Currently have a blue GP absolute ti which I really like but my wrist is sensitive and the titanium deployant irritates it. I mean I get ap is a different level but not sure 7x the cost is worth it.

I've seen this and rate it. I want one and have asked AD. Prolly no luck, but we will see.

what makes folks think the bezel won't stand up to time and the knocks it brings?
