AP New 43 Royal Oak Offshore

[Zazzles]

How has availability of these pieces been for you all?
I put my name in for one of the Ti variants (both grey/blue combos) as a hopeful request for my first AP Boutique purchase.
Enjoying all the wrist shots - there's surprisingly little press about these pieces online!

I’m also on a list for a SS version along with a new diver and curious about the demand and wait for these pieces.

I got a blue face Ti about 2 weeks ago. It's nice and I love the quick detach strap feature but I prefer my 44mm offshores to the 43mm at this point

It’s a winner all around!

This is a home run!

Can i check what's your wrist size please.

[erredi7734]

I’ve decided to move my 44m (26400io) and get the 43mm (26420I). The improvements are significant all-around: from movement to wearability and practicality.

I’ll discuss with my AP person this week for a possible allocation/waiting time, which I ignore.

One thing to note is that the 43mm wears really well because also the band is tapered vs other offshores. I don’t have a pic but someone might have it.

I have to say that the improvements on the 43mm are truly significant. I have small wrists (6.5” flat) and the 43mm wears large of course but I don’t feel it’s obnoxious. It fits exactly as the older model 42mm fit (such as the Vampire, Ghost, etc.).

The quick change straps are amazing, the overall symmetry of the watch case and pushers is much improved, the sapphire caseback displaying a very nicely finished movement. All of these are really nice updates.

The ONLY gripe I have is I genuinely wish the AP logo was applied to the dial without the “plate” that it appears to rest on. This isn’t terribly noticeable given the beauty of the watch, but I have to admit it’s annoying and I think many will nitpick about it (myself included).

Definitely an AP but probably a diver. There is no 43mm quick release strap in white currently

That is a 44mm offshore, probably the grey dial ceramic bezel version

Bringing this thread back.

I have found a 26400io ti gray dial I’m super interested in but stumbled into this.

I am going to the boutique next week, but is the 43 that much of a better wast here than a J serial?

I think I really want ti (rose gold would be my top pick but that’s not going to happen without divorce proceedings) and just wondering if I need to poke around more. I’m also a big dude that can pull off big watches (my 40mm santos looks super tiny on my but I love it).

Side note, prices seem to be pulling back a bit in the secondary market.

Prices have pulled way way back. The one you posted above I saw sell for $30k this week complete. 26420io grey ceramic bezel for $36k complete. The older rose gold 26400ro with white subdials $35.5k complete. All were in near new condition

I have both 44 and 43

43 is a better wearer

I have the 44mm one you are showing as well as the new 43mm taupe. If you are on the larger wrist size like you say, either one would be fantastic to have. I find the 44 a bit more versatile. Only because of the color combo though.

Hi, newb here looking to get my first AP
My wrist size is just a shy of 8”
And im a big guy that’s why most of my collections are Panerai 47 some panerai 44 and a Deep Sea.
I always wanted to get a 44 ROO but heard that the movement is not that tough on them ?
Anyway I’ve read that the new 43 is smaller lug to lug even when compared to 42 diver, so im still debating with myself wheter to get a 44 or 43 roo.
I did tried my friend’s 42 diver, well i can pull it off, but i preffer a tad “bigger”

I’m 5’8” and 225lbs with just shy of 8” wrists (more round than flat).
I used to have a titanium 47mm Panerai, still have a 44mm DSSD and also have the 43mm steel ROO.
The ROO wears bigger, albeit lighter, than the DSSD. You don’t have to worry about it being smaller than the DSSD because it definitely doesn’t feel/look like it.
The titanium Panerai has been gone a while but both the DSSD and ROO are significantly nicer watches in every way.

I hope that’s helps some.

The 43 is very comfortable compared to the 42 & 44. But I still prefer the layout of the subdials on the 42 & 44 vs the new 43.

Curious where you saw the 26400ro? Everything listed online seems to be at minimum 40k.

Bound to be Moda.

Correct.

Is that a bad thing?

Dak's is the 44MM black ceramic bezel with gray dial. He wears it a bunch.

it’s beautiful

The dial on this watch has a great balance between being too flat and the seemingly ubiquitous sunburst/fume dial.

This dial is never boring to look at. :)

I come to this thread almost every day to look at these shots, then its off to youtube to watch the one video of the grey dial ROO. Waiting is HARD lol.

Does anybody have a 43 and a 50th Royal Oak (RO or ROC) and would be willing to do a side by side?

I agree, nyc2la’s wrist shots are enticing with his blue/grey titanium piece. I wonder how many people here have more than one of these new 43mm ROOs, if because I’m having to resist requesting this Ti piece from the boutique
