Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Ref.15703 ReviewRegarding a week ago, I had the opportunity to give the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver (ref.15703ST.OO.A002CA.01) a shot. This Offshore Diver was introduced not too long ago (2010) throughout the SIHH in Geneva and except for its steep market price, I have never heard an adverse comment yet. During the past, AP already released some diver (or scuba) replica watches as part of their Offshore series. At least one was the exclusive edition for Wempe, tied to 175 pieces only.Anyway, let's not remember the last models for too much time and proceed with the Offshore Diver 15703ST. As with other Offshore models, the 15703ST has these typical rubber accents, such as the crowns and also the thick rubber gasket between the Royal Oak case and the octagonal bezel. Additionally, this Offshore Diver includes a rubber strap only . Personally I am not too attached to that these porn files in general (had one using a Panerai and possess one for an Omega Seamaster Professional Chrono) but AP mastered to obtain a rubber strap that feels comfortable enough without having to be too soft watches . The rubber accents fit the black 'mega tapisserie' dial perfectly and fortunately AP didn't choose to use bright colors this time to spice things up. It's really a plain black diver's watch that is interpreted being an understatement watch by AP.One of the first things which I noticed about this watch may be the ease of wearing it inspite of the dimensions of 42mm x 13.75mm. My 'regular' Royal Oak replica watches measure 39mm across which could look small for current standards, these replica watches tend to wear a tad bigger with the integrated bracelet and the 'longer' lugs. This 42mm Offshore Diver wears a whole lot larger (from lug to lug this watch measures 55mm), but nevertheless looks very decent on my wrist.As you have seen around the pictures, the Offshore Diver 15703ST comes with a extra crown at 10 o'clock. With this particular extra crown, you can operate the interior (diving) bezel on the watch. The dial is incredibly readable, luminova has been put on the hour markers as well as on the baton hands. Furthermore, the dial gives exactly the information needed: manufacturer, automatic movement plus the degree of water proofing. The brand doesn't need further introduction here at Fratelloreplica watches, as I have written a good deal about Audemars Piguet before. The automated movement is AP's in-house cal.3210 having a power reserve of 60 hours and also a spectacular finish. As shown below, the 22ct gold rotor has been engraved with monograms, the bridge as well as other middle parts are decorated by CĂ´tes de Geneve as well as the base plate is fisnihed using a technique call stippling. More details on these finishing techniques is usually read here.Although caliber 3120 is a very pretty movement to see, AP chose to close the hatch using a steel case back rather than a display back. When i had the pleasure of having a Royal Oak ref.15300 sometime, I experienced the pleasure of looking at this movement from time to time. Perhaps it offers something to do with ensuring a water proof of 300 meters or that AP simply thinks a diver watch shouldn't feature a display back, nevertheless the movement inside Offshore Diver 15703ST cannot be admired. You need to simply return to this review and look the idea above now and then. Anyhows, AP did an excellent job on the stainless steel back by having an embossed 'Royal Oak Offshore' brand name and the big screw heads. best rolex Furthermore, the truth back shows two numbers.I've removed the numbers using photo editing software, nevertheless these numbers are a unique case number at 12 o'clock applying a personality from your alphabet along with a sequential number at 6 o'clock. This specific model begins with an H, and will say something regarding the production year. However, this data is not disclosed by AP. The opposite number will be the sequential number and is from the model reference.As with other AP Royal Oak models, this Offshore Diver also comes in a really pretty wooden box that has a small compartment inside carton box with the manual and warranty booklet.In summary, this Offshore Diver is a Royal Oak Offshore model that I could definitely get used to. Although I love the Royal Oak Offshore Safari (reviewed here) plus the Offshore Themes models, It's my job to chose with the 'regular' Royal Oak models being that they are a bit sharper according to the edges and beveled parts and use piggy backing movements. Which i found (whilst still being do) the Royal Oak Offshore chronograph models too costly to possess a add-on module for that chrono functionality. That merely doesn't feel inside my humble opinion. Luckily, this Offshore carries a superb in-house movement inside. As opposed to non-Offshore models, this Diver 15703ST has far more rounded edges and I have to say who's didn't bother me in any respect which probably is due to the larger(r) diameter in the case. If you want if you haven't any diving plans due to this watch, you may exchange the rubber strap for the nice alligator horn back strap.
