AP Offshore confusion

[Bearxj86]

Gentlemen,

These past 6 months I have finally taken the plunge into Offshore heaven starting with the 26400IO which my buddy really wanted so I sold it to him when I received my 26405CG grey ceramic.

However, there seems to be choices galore so I thought I would pose the question...

If you could only own 1 offshore at preowned pricing which would it be in the following budget ranges:

1) $12k to $20k
2) $20k to $30k
3) $30k to $40k
4) Over $50k

My answers (tentative):

1) Probably AP Navy on strap white dial
2) 26400IO or the forged-carbon on strap.
3) Torn between one of full ceramic cases versus the rose gold 44mm case (26405CE/CG or 26400RO)
4) Pride of Germany Ceramic case or the platinum case blue dial?

For me;
3) is definitely RG. No ifs or buts in that
4) Pt.. it has become my daily. Below the radar, comfortable (no weight issues), great with different straps for a change up, and a full scale limited, blue dialed Pt AP !

And this is despite really liking the CE version. So looks like you need to have a few :)

1) Newer Navy (blue dial now discontinued)
2) Ghost or 44 Forged Carbon
3) Rose Gold 44 original dial
4) Schumi Titanium or Rose Gold

Platinum 44 always a favorite as well.

Not counting grand comp or crazy pieces like that.

4) ROO ceramic pride of Germany.

Honestly I have seen anything more pleasing to the eye in the ROO range more than this one https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=709719

good luck on your search

Honestly there are only a couple that suite me. Sub 30k its 26400IO or 15707ce. Over 30k and my preference would be 26405cg.

Surprised no one has mentioned the summer edition, also the rg Schumacher is awesome.

Tending towards yellow gold as I would want some bling at over 50k

I also don't like numerals that much, prefer blob or straight indices.

Forgot about the summer edition. Really nice one. I think I’d still go with a Schumi though.
