Not for sale.
I could never sell my COS, even if it does not get much wrist time it is one of the coolest looking AP's ever. I find it very comfortable on my wrist. I have not been able to bring myself to part with any AP, maybe someday but not yet.
Best,
JerryW

An old picture of an old love: Royal Oak City Of Sails Chronograph.
A Watch I owned for several years, before trading it for a 5402 in 2009. A pity it wasn't comfortable on my wrist, I would have never let it go! This is always the same feeling I have when I see these old pictures of this Chronograph. Is there any AP you ...

I loved it in the three metals, Jerry.
The gold is so décalé! A cool Watch; for sure. Too bad I didn't have the wrist for it. Best, and thanks for your picture and answer. Nicolas.
I almost bought the platinum.
I knew an AD who had one... And as I couldn't fond ( !!! ) the SS version, I almost bought it. The grey dial is to die for! Best, Nicolas
Did you find the clasp uncomfortable?
I wore a Royal Oak chronograph on a City Of Sails rubber strap and adored it. Great watch, but a worthwhile sacrifice for your collection.
The clasp and the too rigid rubber strap.
Which didn't adapt perfectly on my wrist. A pity, I would have kept it! Best, Nicolas.
True. This is a fact of the Royal Oak & Offshore designs...
The strap plots keep the strap away from the wrist a bit where it attaches to the case. I find I can wear a 47mm Panerai or watch with a similar strap attachment, but on the AP you need to see how it fits.
I know you don't want to hear this but...
Why did you do that Nicolas! haha I don't know if I could give any of my watch think i get too attached haha... Have never seen that watch in person looks amazing in picture bet it looks better in person... Ernesto
You can never go wrong with that timepiece...
I guess you can never go wrong switching from AP to another AP... Congrats on that one Nicolas! All the Best!!
As much as I like the COS
I find the Jumbo to be the perfect AP, it gets a lot of wrist time. Best, JerryW
As for an AP regret, definitely this one
Such an interesting piece. Perhaps one to reacquire someday. ...
The nicest Alinghi
and a very, very nice chronograph, indeed! Everytime one comes up for sale, I am very tempted! But a 5402 is a 5402, no excuses necessary! It is the essence of it all! And it is actually the AP I regret having sold: ...
