Hands-on Review AP Diver Silver-Toned Dial
I've now owned both the black and silver-toned and here are my thoughts on the latter. Enjoy my friends!!!https://.watchcollectinglifestyle...ands-on-review

Any chocolate lovers out there?
Recently picked this up from Kringkily. I really like the different look of the dial and it makes a nice change up from my P.O. 2500. Very comfortable on the leather band.

Saw this video this weekend and both Beatles are wearing their Aquanauts during the interview (Paul wears his on his right wrist). Very cool..cbsnews/videos/the-be...eir-tour-days/

Dress Casual PP 5205r/g vs 5712r?
I had previously expressed a lack of enthusiasm for my 5167r. After more time and a Christmas week at the beach, swimming, riding waverunners, etc. I realize it is a great casual watch - beautiful in the sun and tremendously comfortable and can work for going out to dinner in a resort environment.As a next PP I'm thinking about a 5712r or 5205r (cream dial) for dress casual situations - this would replace a rose gold IWC 3904 chrono classic in my rotation. Am leaning towards the 5205r but wondering if this is too dressy and I tried on the 5712r yesterday and it was very nice and more different from the 5167r than I expected. Also saw the 5205g-010 (black dial) and thought it was striking and with the matte black strap/gray stitching a perfect dress casual piece. However I wear a gold wedding ring and my wife notices when I mix metal. Also wonder if the two tone dial will stand the test of time.Would appreciate thoughts/advice. Happy new year to all.

Is Panerai fading into oblivion?
Is it just me or is there no love for Panerai anymore?I enjoy my 335 but it's getting less and less wrist time for some reason. I might be too much into AP but that piece used to excite me a lot! Now none of their watches temps me anymore. Is the brand getting old?
