Incoming - 50 shades of Offshore
A bit of a delayed incoming, I got this one(25721TI - Titan) about 6 months ago but never posted about it. Put it on my wrist and it has never left since. Not even my blue dial 15300, 15400 ruthenium or the original 25721ST (The Beast) blue dial has seen any wrist time since I got it.
Its become my daily even though the watch is over 20 years old, looks like new. Wonder why its not left my wrist, just look at the pictures. At the end of the day during the drive home, it comes alive with different shades of blue and grey with the sunset: At the brightest time of day I get bursts of rays from the sunburst subdials: In the office it calms down to a cool black petrol blue: Been my daily over the past 6 months, at almost 100%. Also took some night time pictures, where depending the titanium turns brown/gold. Even today I was caught staring at my watch playing with the light on the dial. Even better part about it, it weighs only 120 grams with a very wide bracelet, most comfortable watch in my collection. Got a submariner recently, not even oyster + glidelock beats the comfort of the titanium offshore bracelet. Also the bracelet plus the case design 25721 series somehow makes 42mm fit perfectly on my 6.5 inch wrist. Tried a few more modern offshores, even though they are technically 42mm, they wore bigger than my 25721... *photos aren't showing up in links, uploading |

It maybe the pictures, but the engine turned guilloche dial facets don't seem very 'sharp'.

Its quite hard to capture the micro guilloche details without a macro lens on my phone camera (getting one, will post once photos take ). Better lighting and about as close as my phone lens can get (its about 54% resolution, since forums have a 1250x1250 limit)
