The UK Swiss made replica Rolex Royal Oak Offshore ‘The Beast’, the original Offshore model, has been on the market for over twenty years. It is difficult to find out how many of the 7308 steel examples of reference 25721 reported by Apchronicles have the original petite tapisserie dial in navy blue, since models with dials in other shades were also produced with this reference. However, there is every reason to believe that a large portion of the 25721 is ‘The Beast’ with its classic navy blue dial. The last deliveries took place in 2016, when only two timepieces were delivered.
Researchers have long described the main types of this reference, which is associated mainly with modifications of the caliber and the bracelet. It is known that until 1997 the Offshore was equipped with high quality fake Audemars Piguet’s first automatic chronograph caliber 2126/2840, developed in 1986 based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre 888 automatic movement blank with sub-dial chronograph module by Dubois Dépraz, and this caliber, with later modifications, was used by Audemars Piguet until the 2010s.
The best copy watches first major upgrade was made in 1997, when the frequency was increased from 3 Hz to 4 Hz. The new version of the base caliber was given the designation 2226 (Jaeger-LeCoultre 889/1).
In 2004, a new modification followed and the caliber was designated 2326. All this technical information seems superfluous here, but it is directly related to ROO collecting, especially The Beast One, since the production period of this model includes both modifications of the base caliber.
Cataloging The UK shop replica Rolex watches Beast One by caliber versions seems logical: the first (2126/2840), second (2226/2840) and third (2326/2840) generations. There are other variants as well, the best known being the first 100 examples that did not have the “Offshore” engraving on the caseback.
You can easily find information about these and the other variants on the Internet, but unfortunately, there are discrepancies regarding the configuration of the original reference 25721ST.O.1000ST.01 calibers. For example, the usually reputable resource Apchronicles misstates the dates.
They stated that the original online replica watches reference had been fitted with the in-house 3126/3840 caliber either since 2004 or since 2007. 2004 is known as the year of the transition to a second updated version of the base automatic caliber, which is 2326, while the transition to the base in-house caliber 3120 in the ROO chronographs began in 2007.
While some ROO paypal fake watches models have been equipped with the in-house caliber since 2007, a search for the original reference 25721ST.O.1000ST.01 with this caliber yielded no results. Apparently, three generations with calibers 2126-2226-2326 are on the market, but the versions with caliber 3120/3840 haven’t surfaced.
Caliber 2126/2840 was used mainly in Huitième chronographs in the 1980s and early 1990s. It is the very first best fake Audemars Piguet self-winding chronograph wristwatch. In fact, the caliber 2126/2840 was developed specifically for this watch. However, after the introduction of ROO, this caliber and its clones were mainly used in ROO. As a result, the characteristic vertical 6-9-12 arrangement and deep date display aperture occurred due to the thickness of a sub-dial chronograph module have long been perceived as an integral part of this watch’s design, while a few remember the Huitième chronograph and its role in the development of luxury copy Audemars Piguet’s automatic chronographs.
The peculiar design of the original ROO became the alter ego of this watch. That’s why UK cheap super clone Audemars Piguet has kept almost the same dial arrangement in the latest in-house caliber 4400, in one of its versions, the 4404, designed for the modern ROO…
