I went in to visit my SA at the AP House to chat about a Royal Oak 34mm for my wife. He told us that we will get it as soon as they get one. Sometime after the summer break. This was supposed to be our second AP purchase.

While there, I asked about a code for me. I buy watches that I like and wear, not highly collectible ones with resale value, and I happened to love everything about the Code. I was thinking Starwheel, but was not sure, since I never saw one in person.

The SA showed me the Starwheel in white gold. I do not believe in white gold as a concept. Personally, paying for a gold watch that looks like steel and scratches like 18k gold is not for me. The pink gold is not my aesthetic. So I asked so see what else he can show me.

He brought out this beauty. I tried it on, but what threw me off was the original strap it came on. It looked unfinished. So he swapped it out for a black mat alligator, and that was it for me. It became a must have!

I asked the SA how long I have to wait to get one, and just like my first purchase (ROO) two month ago, once again I was told I can have it today! I love this SA, this AP house, and the brand. For the second time in a row, I fell in love with a watch, and was able to buy it right there and then. My wife’s RO will take some time, but we are not in a hurry, because 2 APs in 2 months are not easy on a bank account.

(Apologies for a slightly long summary - in short I love how much fun it is)

I picked up the new 2026 turquoise Offshore Diver earlier this year, and after wearing it on various holidays it has quickly become my go-to summer watch.

I initially thought I wanted the teal version. It is more versatile and conservative, or at least as conservative as an Offshore gets. But seeing them in real life changed my mind. The turquoise version simply made me smile more.
The colour combination is what makes it. AP uses a black Méga Tapisserie dial with turquoise accents and a matching rubber strap, rather than making the entire watch turquoise. It is unmistakably bold, but still recognisably an Offshore rather than a novelty piece.

Photographs don’t quite capture what happens when sunlight hits the bezel. The brushed steel catches along the polished edges, the turquoise comes alive and the whole watch changes character. Around a pool or against the sea, it looks ridiculous in the best possible way.

At 42mm, it is chunky and relatively heavy, particularly compared with a titanium Offshore, but not enough to make it uncomfortable. The extra-wide rubber strap distributes the weight well and keeps it firmly planted on the wrist. I’ve worn it all day and taken it diving in the sea without any issues.

AP House also added a black rubber strap for me. It makes the watch feel tougher, more restrained and considerably easier to wear in different scenarios, but the turquoise strap is its real identity and the reason I bought it.

I wouldn’t recommend it as someone’s one and only watch. The colour, size and presence make it too specialised for that. Within a balanced collection, though, that limitation becomes its strength. It doesn’t need to work at business meetings, formal dinners or throughout winter - other watches can do those jobs.

This one is fun, distinctive and completely different from everything else in the box. It is bright, slightly excessive, impossible not to notice when the sun catches it and most of all, it makes me smile each time I put it on.

There’s also a nice review of it here: https://youtu.be/BhjBge_uAuQ?is=fxmjpKyKWzfYyrnG

I can never seem to snap a good pic of the RO dial but the light worked this time around.

Am thinking about this new offshore as my next allocation, but haven’t actually handled one in person yet. Anyone have experience with this watch yet? Looks amazing from pictures and for some reason has really drawn me in - curious to hear any ownership views or simply from those that have tried it on.

I have one other offshore currently - a blue diver - and love it.

What do we think on the sizing

Hi guys. There are hardly any 6007st on the market, so it’s hard to compare. What would you consider fair value? Good condition, no box, no papers.

16202BA kind of day

Hi all,

New to the thread here and my first post so apologies if it’s not the best format! Would you say it’s a good condition piece for its age to pull the trigger?

Comes with all links, box, card (2018 so they switched from booklet to card). Can I register it on AP website if I’m probably going to be the second owner. The settled price was 44K, is that a good price?

Took my Offshore for a beautiful ride. Never leaves my wrist.

Lots of fun and great watches all over
