CASE, BACK & BEZEL: Rare steel  Offshore 3-piece case measures approximately 39mm across including the crown guards, about 37mm directly across the bezel and approximately 12.5mm thick. The heavy case with trademark visible gaskets appears unpolished showing its original satin finish with factory chamfers. The watch has been polished recently and is in Excellent condition.  The prominent and chunky faceted bezel, held in place by 8 white gold screws, has recently been polished and looks almost brand new.   The caseback is very clean and with no scratches or wear to the white gold screw heads.  DIAL & HANDS: Characteristic stunning Royal Oak charcoal-black "grand tapisserie" (aka "waffle iron") guilloché dial with white gold applied AP logo at "12" and luminous filled markers, as well as framed windows for the day & month and outer numeral track for the date--simply a beautiful and Mint original dial with a nice hint of patina to the Tritium lume and a crisp "Audemars Piguet" signature printed in white above the calendar windows. White gold hour and minute "paddle" hands are likewise Mint and also show a pleasingly subtle patina to their luminous fill. Large arrow-tipped white date pointer is also Mint. A wonderful  layout on this exquisite ROO triple date. MOVEMENT: Under the hood is the Jaeger-LeCoultre derived AP caliber 2127/2827 automatic triple calendar movement with 36 jewels, 38 hours of power reserve, 21-karat gold edged oscillating rotor self-winding in both directions, shock protection and hack-setting of the time. The watch is keeping very good time and the quick-setting of the month and date activated by the sunken corrector buttons on the crown side of the case operate as they should, as does the setting of the day via 24-hour rotation of the hands in either direction. As stated above, this great movement was recently serviced. As with most of these sorts of Triple Date movements, DO NOT use the quickset date & month correctors when the watch is between 10pm and 2am or you could damage the mechanism. CROWN: Correct signed hexagonal screw down rubber-clad steel crown sits perfectly between the angled crown guards, screws down tightly and pulls out to the hacking time setting position as it should.  CRYSTAL: Near Mint flat sapphire crystal with no scratches and just a hint of roughness to some of its edges visible with a loupe. BRACELET: This Royal Oak Offshore comes on its terrific original AP-signed first generation steel bracelet with butterfly style clasp. It is very tight and currently quite long, so should fit up to a 7 3/4" wrist with 6 removable screwed links for sizing down. It has some scuffs and minor scratches from desk diving but overall is Excellent. EXTRAS: Accompanying the watch will be the original wooden box (as shown in the pictures), extra link (I have a small wrist) and original elegant pusher-pin to set the day and date. As a matter of policy, I make NO guarantees for the water resistance of this watch. Please have it pressure tested again if you plan to use it for aquatic activities.     Thanks for looking, Erik
