Finally! My first AP
This post has been a long time coming. I first posted about this watch in July of 2011 after discovering it. I was about 2 years into Rolex ownership and starting to discover haute horology. I saw this watch and fell in love with it instantly. I had to have it. Pretty sure it was the first AP I’d ever seen. It quickly rose to “grail” status. Fast forward 10+ years and here it is…
My new to me Royal Oak Offshore Diver ref. 15703ST.

I wanted a white dial Daytona (previous model) in 2002 and finally got one in 2013, so an 11 year wait too!
I know what that wait means to you :-) so huge congrats! |

You must have seen some amount of price rises in those 11 years!
Congrats on the watch - looks great. |

I sure have. Exactly the reason I decided to jump on this opportunity. They aren’t getting cheaper. I’m mad 11 years later because of what they used to cost. In 11 more years I’ll be saying the same thing about these prices. “There were so cheap in 2022”. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
