this is watch your style my name is Eric
today I'm gonna be doing a review on a
watch that I have no idea why I have not
done a review on already that watch is
the AP Royal Oak Offshore 42 millimeter
in all gold so if you've been following
my videos already for quite some time
you're gonna know that I'm a fan of AP
AP tends to be my top brand just because
I feel that it's in the sweet spot right
in between Patek and Rolex you know for
being the larger commercial switched
brands I feel that ap is right in the
sweet spot for me it just has enough of
both brands in my opinion in the sense
of brand tradition reliability resale so
on and so forth but what really attracts
me the most with AP is just a design
overall of the Royal Oaks in general so
when it comes to the all gold version
there's been several different models in
the past there's the rubber clad which
actually had some great success and then
you've probably heard this term thrown
around and it's called the AP brick
maybe you haven't heard it but this
particular model right here in all gold
is considered the brick it's called the
brick because it weighs like a brick
it's incredibly heavy and just so you
know the two versions that we have here
right now are the latest versions of
this watch they have made some changes
when they revamp the line of the Royal
Oak Offshore few years back they went
ahead and changed a couple different
things it has a different down layout
see-through case back ceramic chrono
buttons and the crown all those things
helped out a lot but this watch for me
it's a love-hate relationship I love it
okay let's start with that I love it I
love the way it looks in theory and its
overall just badass one thing I don't
like about it though is just the overall
weight and I'm gonna get into some
examples about that in a minute but like
I said earlier it's very
a standard for the Royal offshore pretty
much all the Royal old Offshore's are
exactly the same internally they got
same movement same functions what
changes pretty much is the colors and
the combinations so when they revamped
the entire Royal Oak Offshore line of
course they went ahead and did the
all-gold versions and the first thing
that I liked about these new models was
the dials I think it was just a good
play with the rose and the black overall
I just think it looks great one major
change that they did on the all gold
brick is they made the bracelet thinner
and for some people they don't like it
because they're purist and they like the
heavy braces I've talked to some guys
and they just love the fact that it's
that heavy but I feel like they thinned
it out a bit to help shave down some
weight now just in case you don't know
this watch ways the our gold bracelet
version waste aim at around 350 grams as
opposed to the strap version weighs 200
grams big difference there you're
talking about 150 grams different just
for the bracelet so if you're thinking
about getting one of these watches I
recommend you really try it on I don't
mean just put it on for five minutes
inside the store
I mean have it on for a good 15 minutes
because it's happened to me before I've
worn it I love it I love the way it
looks I love how robust it is and I love
how heavy in the game it is but it's
incredibly heavy it's one of the few
watches that I've had to take off in the
middle of a night and put it in my
girl's purse because it's unbelievably
heavy I'm telling you this thing's heavy
so it's a good option if if you're
thinking about getting one always
remember that you can always buy the
same way I say with the 41 millimeter
Royal Oak chrono you can always buy the
one on the bracelet and then buy a strap
for it so you'll have the best of both
worlds
god forbid you want to walk into the
boutique of AP and ask for a bracelet
god help you but back to the strap
version the strap some people call it
the boutique edition they're not
easy to get let me tell you they are not
easy to get and it's a watch that you
know I like it on the leather strap I
think it looks amazing but the other day
I saw one and a black rubber strap and
it was like wow that's what I'm talking
about I don't know what it is don't get
me wrong guys I like this leather strap
I like the white stitching when you put
in an all-black rubber strap I felt like
that's where it was right there this one
definitely in my opinion has killed the
rubber clad you know the rubber clad had
its time it's still a beautiful watch
and I still love it but this is that
this is the one right here you know if
you're looking to upgrade your rubber
clad this is where you want to go prices
are as follows this particular model
retails for sixty nine thousand dollars
sixty nine thousand and some change you
can expect to pay for one brand new in
the high 50s if you're gonna be paying
for one pre-owned mid 50s you're gonna
be around that area
that's just what it costs now for this
one a little bit trickier retails forty
thousand seven hundred but there's not a
lot of them there's not a lot of
discount on this watch if you're gonna
buy one chances are to buy one unworn
if you're gonna get a discount and
you're not gonna pay full retail you're
gonna be in the mid-to definitely upper
30s for this watch pre-owned low 30s so
let's get on with the watch game you
know anytime that you're talking about
an AP and rose gold you're definitely
making moves in the watch game this
particular model I mean Jesus Christ is
the brick this is a heavy heavy watch
not just in weight but also in price and
status the brick is definitely one of
the top contenders in the game you know
it's one of those watches that's just
bold and in-your-face
you know I like it just not that
comfortable maybe a fight was six foot
four you know 300 pounds and was a
football player maybe you'll be perfect
or maybe I just gotta wear
a month straight and get over it you
know but definitely in the watch game
this is a heavy hitter and both of these
models since they're brand new with a
new dial layout which they made some
subtle changes in the hands and Arabic
numbers and stuff like that bonds on the
numbers you know it gives it just a
whole new fresh look so what are you
wearing when you're weighing on these
two models you're not only wearing the
brick or the boutique rose you're also
wearing the latest model so that also
gives you that extra points in the watch
game for the strap model I absolutely
love it you know it's crazy that it's
almost the same price when you're buying
it in the pre-owned as the 44 millimeter
44 millimeter is really nice you know
it's it's a great-looking watch it just
doesn't fit everybody it just doesn't
fit everybody perfect because of its
size you know that's that one thing
about it I tried to wear it several
times and yes I do love the concept and
the way it looks but for me this is the
right one that's for me you know I
wouldn't you know I wouldn't say that
the 44 is higher level than this and my
book they're almost equal just because
of the exclusivity of this one right now
I feel like there's four of the 44
around for every one of these probably
in five to one ratio something like that
so you know with anything that has to do
with the watch game ap rose gold is
always gonna equal to win but just keep
in mind can I say it again this is one
of the few watches that I've ever sold
clients that they brought it back to the
three months later because they just
don't wear it as much because of the way
so consider that if you're thinking
about getting one of these watches
please try to test-drive it you know
talk to your dealer about it what does
he think if you can wear it around for
this about 30 minutes inside a store or
something I just highly recommend you
try it maybe ask a friend to let you
borrow one that's also an option as well
