It doesn't look (to me) like the various pieces of news on the Diver, ROO and ROC actually 'leaked'. AP itself put those out. I just think they should've updated the website too.
Let's see what will come along with the rest of the 2021 announcements. |

AP certainly provided the info/pictures to the various outlets. I'm just wondering if they got published exactly when AP had planned for. It is somewhat amusing that e.g. the Monochrome-watches articles claim "More details at www.audemarspiguet.com." at the bottom, when that is clearly not the case. There's still nothing at Hodinkee beyond the green dial Jumbo, and nothing at all for some of the other usual suspects.

I would say that the recent Blue, Green, Gold ceramic Offshores were the send off for the 44mm!
Very excited to see the new ones on the wrist and have already registered my interest for the new Grey one! |

If my 44m color is the one of the last ones ever, it would be pretty cool but I’d be shocked if there wasn’t a final edition. I’m keen to see the new 43s, the dials have a ton more detail on them and seem to be engraved vs current mega tapisserie dials which are stamped - this should reflect a ton more light and create a more dynamic dial |

The 43mm is due for delivery in September, thus I bet all production is now on those. I’m also guessing that the 44mm case has its own tooling, along with the bezels and other specific parts and I bet those tools are now mothballed, only for use in warranty/legacy circumstances, or that they’ve been recalibrated to 43mm mode. Everything leads me to think that the 44mm really has gone, other than for the possibility of a couple of very low production (<50) specials that have already been manufactured and stock piled. I’m with the others that have voiced it, the 44mm is now going to be a classic. No wonder AP is experiencing huge demand for the last pieces in the network. |

It’s very rare that I look at the new releases and want more than one of them but with the new 43mm design I really like all of them.

Why do they insist on squeezing a 4:30 date window in?
Other than that minor and utter deal breaker it looks like it could be a great watch.

Wow, these look awesome!
Love the dial layout and pushers. Hope they will produce an all-black (like my previous 44mm FC) or all-blue (with non-contrasting subdials). |

One of these very well may be my first AP. I wonder how tough it’ll be to get my hands on one?

Are there any pics of the 43mm ROO's in the wild yet?

The interior and exterior design of the new ROOs is awesome - so is the price: 37K€
I´d better start saving ... |

I do not like the dial lay out. The old dial lay out was better IMO. Also, what's the point of making it 1 mm smaller? They should have made it 42mm. I've been waiting for a 42mm ROO that looks like the 44mm.

I could be wrong but I’m guessing that this new case size also wears slightly smaller due to its curved shape. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It is also the slimmest of all Offshores, I love it. |

I love every single feature of the new ROO. Just so much better than the 42mm and 44mm models ... new movement w 70h reserve, strap mechanism, symmetrical dial with AP-logo-only, modern style pushers, decent color combinations, ceramic bezels. Perfect.

Has anyone ordered one of these yet?
Edit: what difference in weight would there be between a steel and titanium? |

AP New 43 Royal Oak Offshore

I have a RG coming but not until September I actually think these are tremendous value (relative to others…) since they’re now in-house integrated chronos and the pricing uptick was very modest compared to the modular chronos |
