Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Watches For 2011 The Best Ever?
We are about a year away from a total re-shuffle of the Royal Oak for its 40th anniversary - but for 2011 Audemars Piguet has created arguably the best looking Royal Oak Offshore watch ever. Next year is also the 20th Anniversary of the Royal Oak Offshore I believe as well.

Service dials
Hi guys have a few questions regarding service dials, and hope you could help me figure some stuff out! Why are service dials different than the original dials?

Are modern seevice dials also different than the originals? i.e. If you have a ceramic sub with blue lume and you crack the glass and need the dial replaced will you get a different dial than the original? Why are service dials less desireable?
