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

Three watch trade in for a Patek 5119j?
Would you trade in a Jaeger MUT Moon, Reverso TT1931 and Geophysique? I don't wear them. Am I nuts?

Who wants some pannies ? Collection pics
Hello to all !I'm not so much active over here, as I spent most of my spare time on french watch forums.Anyway, I felt I should share my Panerai update collection as nothing new has occured with my Rolex collection. New Rolex will be the new GMT BLNR, but it should not reach my home until mid july...Anyway, as by June 21. 2013, gone are my Panerai PAM 312 and 183.In went PAM 389 (awesome piece of Submersible), as well as a used PAM 243 (submersible 1000m).And today, came my 2 new pieces. It's all about luck and chance if they arrived at the same time. Lucky me I had put money aside to buy them ! LOLMy Panerai collection now consists of :PAM 372PAM 389PAM 243PAM 423PAM 448As some of you might notice, I have received today a second PAM 389. In order to be sure to have one, in fact, I made two separate orders to two different AD.... Well I got lucky, but so far, the second 389 will leave for another paneristi's home in the future.Here are some pics. Enjoy.389 sistersAssolutamente��Radiomir

Was feeling the need to add to the collection!!!
There are several Rolex watches that are on my list... The SS Daytona white dial and the SkyDweller Blue are just a pipe dream at the moment, but are on the list none the less.So next in line is the Hulk, YMII, possible Batman, and maybe even get up enough nerve for an all gold piece one day. I am waiting for my DeepSea JC to come in.So the three contenders are:(The SS sub in the pic is mine.)And the winner is!!!And just to keep Christmas going in February my wife got a new Wolf jewelry box.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
