Thanks, Nicolas
Now I have two Black chronographs, which I have been trying to get together for the past 10 years. I will try to post on the pair soon. Best, respo
Makes me miss mine!
I had one a few years back for a very short period of time. I had a 26400AU (the forged carbon 44mm offshore) at the same exact time and they were just too similar. I ended up trading it for a 15400OR and looking back I wish I had kept it! One of the cool...
Thank you!
I have been wanting one of these since it was launched a decade ago. It has always been THE Offshore for me; finally the timing worked out and the "right one" came along. It is interesting to read that you felt the forged carbon and the Survivor were too ...

Not a little Respo!

YIPPEE!! I love to see a dream come true!
Your devotion to this model is finally rewarded, God Bless you Respo! Now, enjoy this audacious Offshore, one of my very favorites!
Thank you, Michael!
I am grateful to you for all of your patience, information, encouragement and inspiration over the years. I cannot tell you how many times I have looked at your posts and photos of the Survivor -- they have kept the dream alive for me. All the best, respo...

This timepiece is a premium and unique offering, I have no doubts the long hunt will prove well worth it for you. I can't recall ever being happier for another member's acquisition, you really deserve this one!
