I am loving mine. I’d be glad to give you opinions especially after wearing it for a full month.

Wow, to both of you I tried on the smoked dial yesterday. Really amazing in person. How do you like it? Was there a long wait? Put my name on a boutique list yesterday. Do you feel the size is too big. I have a 7.5 inch wrist and the new 42 probably is a better size but i am drawn to the 43.

Size will be fine - height may be the only challenge, but there the 42mm is even worse. Combined with the new pusher design, the difference to the 44mm is much bigger than the nominal 1mm difference would suggest.

Thanks. I’m wearing Rolex sea dweller which is also a 43 but the AP seems much larger. The AP is an amazing timepiece.

Absolutely stunning. The black bezel against the rose gold case is undeniably a winner. Such a heavy heavy hitter.

RG looks amazing. I should have tried that on. Do,you think it’s easier to get a RG/PM one vs SS/Ti? I may need to get the RG and the SS smoked dial version!

That I don't know. But if your talking economics; the rose gold being 20k or so more. Then yes, I would think it's easier to get.

Definitely no wrong decision; they are all magnificent.

That smoke dial is my favorite. But I may need to get a few. After this debating between the new 43 steel black face or RG black face? Maybe both….

All of them are fantastic. I personally debated quite a bit between the taupe dial and the gray titanium which seems really versatile. Ultimately for me, the taupe is stunning in the metal, the black ceramic brushed bezel is so terrific, and don’t underestimate the changing of straps. I bought the light brown leather and looking to purchase the crocodile black one. Like others have mentioned, you won’t go wrong with any of them. The important part is to make sure you are comfortable with a 43mm big watch.

Let us know what you finally pick.

I went for the black dial. It’s a tough choice because they all look great! 43 Offshore is a big watch but actually seems to wear smaller than my 42mm ghost. Looks larger side by side but wears better probably because of the curved bezel/sapphire and I believe it’s slightly shorter lug to lug.

The black looks great. Really a classic. Are the subdials silver or white? Hard to tell. Congrats!
