Butch and Henrik enjoyed a little treat before the start of the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie. Butch looked to be wearing a Dark Rhodium Rolex Yacht-Master 40 while Henrik’s watch looks like an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore in Black Ceramic. Both are rated for water resistance, but I am not sure about ice cream.

Rolex and Audemars Piguet are highly recognized as two of the most prestigious watch builders in the world. Both have long histories with Audemars Piguet starting in 1875 and Rolex in 1905. Where Rolex is the largest brand in the world of watches, Audemars Piguet is recognized as one of the premier watch builders.

Butch’s Rolex Yacht-Master 40 is the previous version that was discontinued in 2019 and was updated with a new movement and very minor visual changes. The case is still 40mm and made from 904L Oystersteel, a stainless steel alloy that is very corrosion resistant. The right side of the case features a screw-down crown with triple waterproof seals for a 100 meter water resistance rating. The bezel is made from Rolex’s own 950 platinum that is forumulated in their own foundry to ensure it lives up to the quality Rolex demands. The larger bezel has raised numerals that are polished and the background is a sand blasted matte finish. The dial is officially Slate from Rolex but is often called Dark Rhodium by the watch community. The dial is surrounded by white gold hour markers that are filled with Chromalight luminescent material. The dial is also accented by Yacht-Master text and a sweeping second hand that are finished in light blue. Inside the Yacht-Master is the Calibre 3135 self-winding automatic movement that was designed and built in-house. The 3135 is COSC certified movement that contains a Parachrom hairspring for better accuracy during temperature changes or shocks. The bracelet is the iconic Oyster design, made from solid links of Oystersteel. The bracelet comes together with the Oysterlock folding clasp that also features an Easylink extension. Currently the market is still strong on these previous versions and you can expect to pay around $14,200 to get a nice one on your wrist.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore was introduced in 1992 as the larger sibling to the iconic Royal Oak. Henrik’s Offshore was brought to retail in 2017 and I think has been discontinued recently. The case is on the larger side at 44mm and is made from black ceramic. The caseback features a large display window where you can view the winding rotor and some of the movement. On the right side of the case are the pushers for running the chronograph as well as the black ceramic crown, protected by titanium guards. The octagon bezel is also made from scratch-resistant black ceramic, held down with the legendary hex screws. The dial has AP’s famous Méga Tapisserie texture to it and finished in a gloss black. On the outside of the dial is a Tachymeter scale and pink gold hour markers that are filled with luminescent material. The hands on the watch are crafted from pink gold and the date window is set at the 3 o’clock position. Inside the ceramic case is an AP Calibre 3126/3840 that contains 365 parts. The 3126 also runs on 59 jewels and offers the wearer 50 hours of power reserve. The strap on Henrik’s Offshore is black rubber that is attached to the case with titanium lugs. The two ends of the strap come together with titanium a pin buckle. Royal Oak Offshore models are in pretty high demand and you can expect to pay around $42,000 to get one in your collection.

Testing Lorem Ipsum

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
