You're on a roll, another fantastic review! Thanks for sharing. I liked this the first time I saw it and wanted it until I realised it was full platinum!

Thanks guys! Mike, nothing is out of your league my friend. This platinum piece is simply unreal and out of this world. The feel of it on the wrist is simply epic.

That watch is just epic! Nice touch with the matching gator strap with full pt parts. Do they also include a car somewhere? Very expensive and exclusive piece.

On bracelet I think it is too heavy. On the croc strap it is perfect.

Dial and strap are awesome! Strap would look good on other 42s and 44s.

Amazing indeed, not sure I would say it's expensive considering there are at least 400 grams of platinum if you remove the weight of the movement. A lot of money for sure but that's where the exclusivity comes into play. If you want to play you have to pay.

Crazy heavy. Like a brick on your wrist. 23 grams short of a pound.

Ha! Hal, I'd have to get a NICE discount... like the kind of discount only a certain TRF member can attain!
If they deduct the $10k the strap is worth, that'd help too!

Hands-on Platinum Royal Oak Offshore Fume Dial>>>>>

"In summary, this watch is so perfect that it could turn a serial watch flipper with multiple watches, into a one-watch type of man."

Lol! And that man will have the largest difference in forearm sizes than any other man on the planet

Nice review but this watch is unwearable. The release buttons on the bracelet will cut into the wrist and be extremely uncomfortable.

What was AP thinking when they decided to make a 1lb watch??

And what's the point of wearing it on a strap and paying that kind of money to have the platinum bracelet sit in a safe??

I would happily wear it, if it wasn't for the 120k price tag lol.

I agree on the strap part. Even though the strap looks great, please take the $10k off the price tag and keep it. I'd only rock it on bracelet.
