Both lines represent some of the most Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore With Black Rubber AP026 Watches advanced, durable, and certainly coolest quartz watches in the world.The first Attesa to really grab my attention was the ATV53-2832, but it was the extremely unique look and functionality of the ATV53-2933 that finally inspired me to do a full review.Let's start with a detailed rundown of an extremely impressive (and lengthy) set of features: Light-weight titanium case and bracelet with a highly scratch resistant DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) coating. Not only does DLC shrug off all kinds of abuse, but it helps give the watch a very cool stealthy look appreciated by those of us who aren't so much into Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore With Black Rubber AP026 Watches bling. Sapphire crystal (virtually scratchproof) with AR coating.

I remember thinking at the time that I really wanted more Citizen content on Watch Report, but that they just weren't doing anything all that interesting. I promised the reader that we would keep a closer eye on Citizen's new watches, and do our best to make sure they were better represented.Fast forward to the present, and Citizen is now one of my favorite brands. Since June of 2006, we've written 11 articles on Citizen watches, and I anticipate that the pace will increase. Every year, Citizen is stepping up their game and releasing more and more watches that are grabbing our attention. Although I'm still a diehard Japanese-market Casio G-Shock fan, I now regard Citizen watches with the exact same level of respect.A great deal of my interest in Citizen watches comes from the Attesa line which I consider Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore With Black Rubber AP026 Watches comparable to the MR-G line of Casio G-Shocks.
