Yes, it is a true classic, but if Rolex service makes your eyes water, wait for the five year service bill on this one!!! But damn, I would love to have one! One of my true alltime faves!

My personal fav is the Royal oak offshore rubber clad, but I wont be able to afford one for a few years :(

Not much of an RO fan, but I do like the TT version with the dark grey dial which has a lot of tiny squares on it (not sure of the exact name for such a dial). That is very beautiful.

I beleive that is called the waffle dial.

Sorry but the RO does nothing at all for me,think its quite a ugly
watch and very much overrated,but hey I am not a fan of the
modern Daytona either.

I'm not a RO fan at all either. The look is quite dated in my opinion......

There are not to many watches that make me smile right now. When I smile again I'm sure all bet will be off ;o)

I can't stand the RO or really much of anything AP produces. This is prolly why the OQ doesn't do anything for me too... similar dated design (sorry guys).

I like them in pictures, but I've never seen one in person. I did get to try on a guy's RO Offshore though, and man that thing was bloody gorgeous and HUGE!

AP is one of those brands I should love (as a WIS) but I can't. Their design just does nothing for me. But they are beautifully made and engineered.

BruceS · 11 November 2005, 12:12 AM

That's why there are so many brands John. Everyone is different

Thanks, Roger....that's the one. Did see one in person at Watches of Switzerland....it was absolutely gorgeous. Somehow, the TT version looks best....but then I've always loved TT watches.

Hi Buddy,

I guess you are the person i was looking for. I want to know how to change time and date. I was unable to do that like a normal watch. Please let me know if you have any idea.

Thanks
