Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Lady Replica Review
The dial
The Mega Tapisserie dial in black is a bold evolution of the Petite Tapisserie dial first seen on the 1972 Royal Oak. White Arabic numerals are presented in a bold, contemporary font. Continuing the angelic hue of the numerals, the "Royal Oak" hour and minute hands are white gold with luminescent coating. The dial features three sub-dials which are hour chrono counter, minute chrono counter and subsidiary seconds. The sub-dials repeat the monochrome pallete with white; numerals, indices and hands presented on a black background.
An bezel frames the dial and features eight screws. The screw heads perfectly follow the adjacent line of the bezel. No detail is overlooked. This particular model features four brilliant-cut diamonds between each screw head, 32 in total. Audemars Piguet sources diamonds ethically, no conflict or so-called "blood diamonds" are used. Moreover, the quality of the diamonds is very high. To retro-fit diamonds to a fine timepiece is to compromise its integrity.The bezel is rubber clad and affords the cheap Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore replica watch a sporty feel. Available in a choice of white or black, I personally share Aphrodite's predilection for black.
The case & strap
The case is stainless steel and compliments the adjacent rubber details. The satin-finish works in harmony with the brilliance of the diamonds.The chrono-pushers and crown are coated in rubber and screw-locked. The crown has some of its stainless steel core visible, underscoring the cohesion of the materials chosen.The rubber strap and case are joined in purposeful union which no man will readily put asunder. The strap also features the Audemars Piguet branded deployant in stainless steel.
The case back is solid. This is my one frustration with this good-qualified watch as I know that a sapphire case back would afford a wonderful spectacle of the peerless craftsmanship typical of AP. I recently made this comment to someone from Audermars Piguet. I explained that I can see the pleasing form of a beautiful lady in an attractive dress, but like many alpha males I want to admire the lingerie beneath even more.
The movement
The movement is finely finished and wonderful to behold. I have had the good fortune to see Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Replica movements at close quarters and they perfectly demonstrate the mechanical mastery of the artisans of Le Brassus.The 18-carat gold rotor is delightfully detailed with C?tes de Geneve motif. The bridges and plate feature circular graining. Chamfering and polishing are expertly executed with due patience afforded in the pursuit of perfection.
Few Manufacture movements can match the sublime splendour of an AP movement.
Conclusion
Motor-racing has always been fascinating to me for as long as I can remember. However, as I look back at my weekend in Belgium, it was the replica watch worn by a blonde beauty called Aphrodite which is at the forefront of my recollections.I have always had an interest in sartorial elegance and appreciated the grace of fine, feminine couture.
This ladies Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Limited Edition fake watch would harmonize with an elegant evening dress or work in concert with casual attire. The Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph ladies model is incredibly versatile, practical and stylish but with a mechanical integrity which should never be overlooked. A name like Aphrodite is synonymous with love and beauty and this chronograph watch was crafted with the former and imparts the latter in equal measure.
