Looking to for just a general discussion about your favorite Offshore model and why it is your favorite.

I AM NOT ASKING WHO MAKES THE BEST REP!

Here are my 2 favorites, they are my favorites because they both combine my love for cars and golf (other than watches) and Red/White/Blue. They are the Tour Auto AP ref #26208ST-OO-D305CR-01 and the USA Ryder Cup edition ref #26400SO.OO.A502CA.01. These all cover the original 42mm case shape and the 44mm.

Looking forward to reading everyone else's opinions on theirs!

42mm offshore - navy or panda for the white dials, Sebastian buemi for the ti case, ceramic bezel and the yellow and red accents.

44mm offshore - forged carbon, grandprix, Michael Schumacher models.

I’ve been out of the offshore game for a while. Mine are all JF from 2016-2018. No idea what factories these days are making good offshores, and my wallet doesn’t want to know 😆

No idea, but I'm sure there's a few floating around in the watch boxes of RWI members. It's one of these watches that are rarer than hens' teeth.

I love all the AP ROO with arab numerals, especially the Bumblebee and Dark Knight. They're out of production, asked different TDs and no one was able to provide one. Waiting for M2M , Bumblebee being my first choice.

Chronopassion

The Titanium case is easier to wear on my delicate wrists.
If we are including Divers then the ceramic Diver with orange is my Fav.






Sincere is cool for rarity but I still prefer the chronopassion.
Safari with a bright white dial comes in third for ROO chronos

Very classical style and taste!

My vote goes to the panda (noob version by a mile) on bracelet, followed by the Navy, Tour and Safari original dial~
I regret not picking one of these up back in the day. I even went as far as getting a spare JF bracelet, still in the plastic wrap, but I never got the watch itself 🤣. I think the bracelet came from a diver.

Where I need to be.
Here is my forged carbon: JF base, brushed bezel, trimmed hands, Mikey date wheel, prof crystal. Prototypical 2017-2018 Rwi build haha.
That is an eta datewheel not a Mikey one. The Mikey modern datewheel font was pretty accurate to gen though and for me one of the best aftermarket parts made.

I only wanted to add that I love the Dark Knight for the movie, of course. The Bumblebee because I love the mix of black and yellow. Very elegant and unusual for me.
