Incoming - walked into new Watches of Switzerland Liverpool St...

Been looking for a Royal Oak Offshore for a while. Always looked at 44’s, but my wrists too small.

Did some research on the 42 releases in 2018 (‘Vampire’ and ‘Ghost’). Loved both but the titanium grey / black I really loved.
Walked into WOS and they couldn’t haven been more accommodating.
Very happy with service and watch.

Awesome! Enjoy the watch!!

I’m telling you, you’re going to love the Ghost. I dare say this is actually my favorite AP that I own. It’s a breeze to wear and you can have so much fun with colorful straps.

You can get AP straps that are definitely better quality, or look at Horus. I have several Horus straps and they’re cool, but man are they a pain in the a** to change as they don’t have the construction that OEM AP does. Just wait for their sales to make the price more digestible.

Do AP boutiques have regular/seasonal sales on their straps?? Or were you referring to that specific AP retailer only?
Thank you very much.

The Ghost is amazing!

Both the Ghost and Vampire are intriguing, each in their own way. But the grey tones of Ghost are a big favorite of mine. Congratulations on an excellent acquisition! Wear it in good health.

My apologies. Horus straps often go on sale or they have an active promo. Everything AP is SRP, although when you buy a new watch it’s pretty common to get a free rubber/croc/sailcloth strap if you want one.
