Your general perception of the offshore line?
Rolex Forums tells me I have been on a 4 year 2 month hiatus (!) but god knows how much longer it could have been had it not been for this gem of a purchase.I've always been interested in AP as a brand and their legacy, and further research inevitably brought up the infamy of the Royal Oak Offshore as a celebrity watch, to be used as a mere party piece more than anything else. Personally the offshore line does have quite a number of over-the-top limited edition models, but the 'standard' 44mm designs (SS, CF, RG) seem to blend sportiness with elegance perfectly fine. I'd buy a 42mm but the arabic numerals on the chronographs just seemed too messy; the diver being an exception.It sounds very much like a horological spin-off of the Bentley Continental's appeal with the rich and famous, but the Bentley ain't a bad car at all. Does the ROO deserve such stick, especially when compared with the other classic models in the range, as well as other luxury sports watches?Otherwise you could give

Issue with my 5960/1A
Well��with the recent bout of Patek watch issues, I guess it was just a matter of time before I am hit.I have a 2015 5960/1A - Annual Calendar Flyback Chronograph Power Reserve and Day / Night indicator which started having this particular issue a couple of days ago:It runs fine but when I pull out the crown to make any adjustment, the Power Reserve automatically drops to empty. Also I have been suspicious that the rotor is not winding the barrel. I have to manually wind the crown to bring up the power reserve indicator. Luckily it is under warranty so will ship off to NYC service center soon but have any of you experienced the same issue? Is there anything I can do to correct it on my own?

New Addition...
About a month ago I had a chance to catch up with an old friend of mine who is a fellow watch lover... We seem to share similar tastes in watches; as we both own a 5146 and an AP 15300 Black Dial. However, he also had this beautiful Calatrava in Rose Gold which he let me wear for most of the time we were together... and ever since then I was hooked... I just wanted to add one to my collection. I found the Rose Gold just perfect and subtle with its warm tone.My friend's Calatrava:So a few days ago I came across this beautiful Rose Gold Calatrava based AC, the 5396R and the price seemed just right. I couldn't pass on the opportunity and today am a proud owner of this beautiful time piece.I think it will make a great addition along side my 5146G.Thank you for sharing in my joy...Happy Watching...

Who wants a Tudor GMT?
Forum is quiet on this one. Since I have a GMT it doesn't seem right for me to have another but the more I see, the more it seems like an absolute cracker of a GMT! Very tempted to land one at some point to use as a daily whilst my weekenders are safely safe in the safe. I seem to be the opposite of most on here - I'm more interested in it than the SS BLRO. A lot more! I see posts from people going nuts about the NEW SS BLRO and wonder what the fuss is about. I don't believe the new movt has attracted most of these crazed fanatics. So basically a Super Jubilee with a new clasp on it and now made in SS instead of WG ..which looked similar enough? Woooah.

How to reassemble a glidelock?
This is an inauspicious start to forum life. Hello, I've disassembled the glidelock on my 114060 as I'm a serial tinkerer and I can't for the life of me find how to put it back together. Two little plastic runners came off the glidelock's spring bar at a rapid rate of knots and don't fancy helping me out, any help from you kind, seasoned, eye rolling people?
