I own the Blue/White version with white strap and additional dark blue strap (15710ST.OO.A010). It’s my favorite weekend watch, taking over the place of my Daytona TT 116503. This is a great summertime watch as long as your wrist can take it. I am wearing it on the third strap hole and it is extremely comfortable.

Congrats Damien, however, be prepared for hefty service costs with AP - made me sell my Polaris. Also the steel is much softer than 904L of rolex - so it attracts scraping and dents like no other !

I have that particular piece…. One of 6 of my APs. I have 4 royal oaks and two offshores and 13 Rolex. I love wearing it PS I believe is is considered a “special edition”. I have the deepsea James Cameron too! You need to be careful with the crown. They tend to come off with very little movement. It’s still an amazing watch and it a lot!

I hope that I can get some ideas to narrow the search down.

I bought an 'Offshore Diver' like this by € 52 and I think that the amount of the original to pay is unjustified. Of course that the barrel does not bring 72 hours of power reserve, hasn't the warranty on the pressure equivalent of 300 m., two lifetimes without breakdowns aren't guaranteed, but is waterproof and I can spinning it to three seconds +/- in accuracy. I think that this is important.

That AP certainly looks the part. Does it also perform the part as a quality time-keeping device that at least equals if not exceeds that Rolex Sub..? Also, if it came with Glidelock like buckle, would that substantially improve its comfort..?

Hi Damien. This was my first time watching one of your reviews. I really enjoyed the combination of knowledge and humor. I subscribed for future content. I'm also weighing getting this same AP Offshore model. I'm glad to see how happy you are with yours. I have a Rolex Sea Dweller 43 that I'm contemplating trading for this same Offshore. I think I'm a little fatigued by how many Rolexes I see out there, and want a watch that is not as ubiquitous. I'm also a diver fanatic! I see you have a no-date Sub as well which must wear a lot lighter than the AP Offshore. How does the AP wear as a daily driver, and how often are you wearing it? I love my SD 43 but the bracelet in combination with the weight of the case can bite my wrist a bit. I've worn 44+ MM watches before and don't mind the size. IT's more about wearability and uniqueness. I've put on a Deep Sea before so I get that comparison, but am wondering about the strap feeling for contrast. Thanks in advance! These watches are very hard to find to wear in person.

@TheWatchGuysTV 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Anselm - great to have you watching the channel. I hear what you're saying about the Sea Dweller weight but I've not found it that Between the 2 models, I would say the AP is the more comfortable to wear on a more daily basis, and you get to choose from a host of bright colours. The Sea-Dweller and no-date Sub are bone fide classics though and there's nothing more daily or useable than the no-date sub. The AP is certainly taller off the wrist, so although it's comfortable - it would get in the way of cuffs if you are wearing a jacket and shirt.

I was always a big fan of the black diver but seeing this blue looks awesome. As nice as it is though I think a submariner is a better for most people particularly if it’s your only watch or if you use it as intended as it’s actually a delicate watch and those AP service costs are big $$.

I can't argue. The 42mm Offshore are statement pieces. I prefer the metal bezel to the plastic coated ones. The rubber strap is very comfortable indeed. I wish the chronograph had the open case back like your diver. Like you I do reach for mine a lot too. Yours is a lovely watch. Enjoyed your review of it. If you ever do buy another AP, take a gander of the Royal Oak 41mm Chronograph range. The Steel "Panda" is one of my favourite models. Or if you feel the need for a bracelet and bezel that is breath taking, check out the Titanium and platinum Royal Oak Chrono 26331. Here is I link to check it out on Pinterest pin.it/6R2rw1g It's seriously stunning.

Good Morning Gentlemen, Okay......so here is the scenario; Your Great Uncle Bulgaria - who, incidentally you never knew existed, has left you something in his Will. £22k But it Comes with conditions; You can only spend the money on a watch. Your mysterious uncle was from Yorkshire, a bit tight and you have to buy a new to you watch but pre-loved by someone else. He didn’t like depreciation. What would you both buy?

Great question, Martin. I would go vintage with a Rolex Submariner 1680 red writing or Submariner Kermit Fat/Flat 4 16610LV. Or I might go West with a full gold Submariner 116618LN

@martingetliffe 4 жыл бұрын

TheWatchGuys I’m liking the full gold Sub option. All things been equal, I’d say that’s a pretty safe place to put some money on. Like yourself I don’t look at watches thinking; Can I get a return on that but......I am from Yorkshire & it would kill my Pig if it would to drop 10k in say 3 years. I know the World is in a shit place at the moment but your suggestion shows you obviously know and value things that are just a solid investment. Other than Chrono24 where else do you go for your watch gazing Fix? Thanks you for taking the time out to answer me. As ever you’ve got class you two fellas. Laid my Dad to rest yesterday; Covid-19 at Pontefract Crematorium. I want to get something to remember him By and tbh, if I use some of his money to put down on a car, it’s going to loose money over time and I’m never going to keep it for years so........my mind is made up. A few more pounds down & Im drawn to the White Gold & Blue Face Sub. Thanks again. Stay safe.
