AP Offshore Safari

Has anyone a AP Safari?
Especially the older version with the white dial I like so much.
When you compare the Safari to the current Offshore-Collection. Is there a big difference in terms of quality?

I’ve owned many of the 42mm offshore AP’s...

I love the “old style” Safari...but the “upgrades” on the newer versions are very nice.

Clear case back and ceramic pushers/crown on the new version are great additions.

But there aren't any big differences when you wear the old safari in comparison to the newer offshores?

No, just a little changes in case around pushers that doesn't affect the way it wears...

But I agree with previous comment... ceramic pushers are a nice feature because rubber ones wear off after some time...

I have an original Safari. I love the white face and brown leather strap. It’s a perfect summer watch with a sun tan. I have looked at the later models but prefer the dial on the original. To my eyes it’s the best of the various dials that have come since. Ceramic pushers would be nice but nothing wrong with the rubber ones.
