My least favorite offshore .. Then again the offshores never lasted with me .. I prefer the 39 mm RO as close to the original the better.. Offshores are like monster watches to cater to the trend of big loud watches

No they cater to larger and sportier wrists. I have 7.2 inch wrists and the 39mm ROs are too small and underwhelming for me, I prefer the 41mm ROs and the 42mm ROOs. If you are really talking about excessively large trendy watches youre looking at 46mm plus as I can wear most 45mms without the lugs hanging over my wrist and my wrist is only just above average.

To each their own...

You are clearly in the minority.

Thanks bro..

It's got some marks on it for sure, but nothing bad at all.. I wear it almost daily, but i'm not very rough on my watches and don't do any intensive work or anything to put it in harms way lol

I love the look of this watch. Been trying to figure out what my next watch will be and if it were AP, this would be the one to get except I would most likely get it on a strap.

How would you guys compare this to a WG daytona? That is what I was considering it against as I love the WG daytona with the red hands.

I've had the WG Daytona w black face and red hands.. IMO I found the bracelet very comfortable and cool but the dial was very boring.

Once I tried on the AP, there was no comparison. Also date function is a +
