My new Offshore - Ceramic Diver!!!

Hi Guys,

I am extremely overjoyed with my newest AP which I just picked up from the store yesterday... The Royal Oak Offshore Diver black ceramic!!!
This watch is simply stunning and has to actually be seen in the flesh to best appreciate it...
The ceramic detailing is incredible, I just love the vertical brushed lines on the bezel and the casing + the polished ceramic on the corners....The colour shifts from greyish to pitch black under different lighting conditions and is really flashy whilst stealthy at the same time... The orange highlights really pop against the background....
I also find the size and weight extremely comfortable to wear and being ceramic I find myself least worried about accidentally scratching it somewhere... I actually wore this to sleep last night as I just did not feel like taking it off...
Here's a few pics taken hastily but I do hope you like them :-)

Cheers!!!!

It's such a stunner and feels amazing on the wrist.

Very nice addition!

That ceramic is pretty darn stunning...and seriously growing on me. I tried on a diver recently - same time I posted pics musing about buying a 15400 Vs. waiting on a 15300 to turn up.

I think I can pull one off - if i got a short strap. Sure, the watch would look big, but its a diver. I also wear G-Shocks, and they look ok.

Can I also say how nice that Green - am I seeing it correctly? - wooden presentation box looks. Ooozes class. I wish Rolex would step up and do something like this. I know I don't really make use of boxes, but that is a work of art as well as the watch!

Congrats!

Be forewarned... Try this on at your own risk (to your wallet).
Seriously feels like you're wearing nothing. I expected something
Bulky and awkward, but it's truly just the opposite.
