Tompa and flying-tommy in 1996 I bought my first Gen AP Royal Oak Offshore. what I recall is that there were no rubber or leather bracelets. only steel or gold.
so the photo of FlyingTommy brings back memories. Thx for that. !
Received my first AP yesterday. Love the looks but most of all the on wrist comfort is better than any other watch I own. It feels so light and nice to wear yet it still has great wrist presence. I'm converted!
