Yes, there was a lot of complaining about it.

Mostly about the re-dialing of chronographs, dealer editions, etc. Somehow AP got away from offering at least 1 cool and unique Offshore each year. I think the new 43mm End of Days says it all. To me, it is just another 43mm Offshore. To call it an "End o

We don't see many 44s around here...

I owned one for a brief period. I thought it fit my flat wrist OK, but I cannot deny a 42mm or ergonomically adjusted 43mm fits better. But AP made some cool ones. This was my favorite, titanium and ceramic. And Grand Prix straps were a perfect fit.

AP Grand prix Offshore a very polarising piece

In 2010 AP started the infamous forged carbon bezels for the offshore and the divers line. Many issues & complaints because of chipping. Mine luckily had no issues but I sold it after a year or so as having OCD personality could not bear with illusional a

One things is for sure, AP has a way of picking up on the details and bringing them to the front. Montoya, Barrichello, Grand Prix, Alinghi - these are watches no other brand came up with at the level AP did. While I have no idea how many watches might co

Audemars Piguet Offshore Divers Forged Carbon

I had this watch in 2013 and with the fear of fiber and resins falling off like the issue I had with my Grand Prix offshore I sold it . Talk about seller’s remorse! Light , practical and economical were the right words to explain the timepiece . After alm

Me, too. When I had my Alinghi serviced, I opted for a replacement carbon bezel.

The ceramic bezel is awesome, it just felt weird to change it up. Having said that, I do think the ceramic bezel made especially for the Grand Prix Offshore looks great and I’d probably go in that direction for that model. There is no logic to my thinking
