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. The redo of the "ROO" (Royal Oak Offshore) for 2011 is simple, but involves a number of refinements and design tweaks. When speaking with Audemars Piguet's lead designer Octavio Garcia, he describes the new collection as "restrained" and more focused.

Fr. John's chocolate Speedy
Today I had the good fortune to meet Fr. John for lunch at a gourmet restaurant in Athens called Allen's. This is a new version of the old one which closed in 2003. A great burger joint.Anyway, I had ask that he bring his new chocolate Speedy for me to have a look. I sure am sorry he brought it! It is simply stunning! I had no idea it would be so beautiful.

I've tried to take some better pics of the 515
I've tried. Being the operative phrase. Had it about 2 weeks now. The funny thing is, the steel 514 is probably my most admired watch by others .. Ever. The oro rosso is a joy to behold live.

I can only add one pic at a time for some reason
