Awesome, congratulations. Really torn between the blue and the gray, but going to stick with the gray. It doesn't photograph well but in person it works for me.

youthagainsttt · 24 April 2021, 10:06 AM

I think you really cannot go wrong with blue, with the diver I agree the grey it gets washed out and the green, personally I'd like a more dark green and not the faded out lighter colour. I actually think for the diver the original black dial really has an aura about it

rockdrock · 24 April 2021, 04:10 PM

My eyes went straight to the green on these posts where I was previously gravitating to the grey one. I thought these would not be me but I like them.

m3jasper · 24 April 2021, 11:51 PM

I got the opportunity to check them all out in person a few weeks ago with Maciej and a friend. When they were originally released, I reached out to my SA and registered my interest in the green. After seeing them in person, I'm glad I did. Green stood out the most to me.

I just wish there was a ceramic bezel on this reference, I think it would be a great touch. Especially when you put it on the secondary black strap.

Luckily, I was offered the opportunity to purchase the green one and took them up on it.

Congrats see that gold loupe in the vip room, I like green the most, but I told them sign me up when they coming out with ceramic bezel or even full ceramic.

Really cool pieces, the quick change system is great...will be getting the Green Diver with a factory custom made color strap, just in time for my summer holidays very lucky!

seadubs · 26 April 2021, 12:47 PM

Loving them!! What a great job, especially the green one.

Yeah, I told them I'd love to find a way to get a ceramic bezel on it.

I even had Maciej do a quick photoshop for me to see how it would look.

Wowwww!

.

I pray they release this or the full ceramic version (white, blue or green).

I’ll definitely be throwing my hat in for that

Full ceramic would be perfection, with ceramic bezel I could live with that as well.

I feel they're due for another full ceramic ROO.

Hopefully we'll see one soon.

Never liked the Royal Oak Offshore divers... But this I can get behind! Hot damn.

From another thread; there should be something different coming:

Here’s a pic:

Are these waitlisted? Good grief. It seems like everything is these days.

Tried this on the other day

Congrats to those of you that have been fortunate enough to pick one up. They look great! Does anyone have a shot of the display case back? What material is the winding rotor made of?

Here you go.

Winding rotor looks to be steel.

Actually the the cal. 4308 comes with a blackened 22-carat pink gold winding rotor. If you see it live you can notice it has much more darker and warmer tone than steel. It's a really cool detail.

Glad to hear it is precious metal. I think a watch at this price point, even if it’s steel, should have a precious metal winding rotor.

Can anyone justify the price difference between the black/white diver and the new 3 colours? its quite a big price in the UK.

The correct answer of course is that AP doesn't need to justify anything they do price-wise in the current bubble.

But for the diver it's not completely absurd to charge a few $k more for a newer movement, ceramic crown, nicer straps and the quick change strap and buckle. At least you get something for your money.

Same treatment as the rotors on the 44mm Offshores.

And the 15710 has been discontinued so it’s not like there’s a direct choice (from new). The price for the 15720 is now the price for a diver.

HMHM · 4 May 2021, 08:59 AM

I personally think that the Diver will be the next big hit for AP after the RO. 42mm with a valid reason to be a tool watch (300m water resistant), a mechanism for quick changing of strap and vibrant colours make it a really good pairing with a steel RO.

dauster · 4 May 2021, 10:23 AM

green one looks cool. would love to see them in the flesh

subm00n7 · 4 May 2021, 03:35 PM

The green color is close to the Aquanaut green actually.. not that it matters but a it's a fun comparison.
