Been bitten by the AP bug...
Ok guys, I've recently seen the Diver in person and am kind of hooked. I'm surprised; I have rather small wrists and am not into larger watches but the diver... my god I don't know what it was...Anyway, I'm thinking about selling my Rolex Hulk (don't tell the guys on the Rolex boards ) and putting the money toward a white Diver.Maybe this infatuation will wear off, I don't know. But for now I'd like some more knowledge about the quality and service of AP as I've never owned one before:1. How robust is the movement? I like my watches to be able to take anything I throw at them and have heard good things about AP but how do they compare movement-wise to a Rolex or even Omega calibre?2. How are service costs? I've heard horrid things about AP service, and don't know how true they are. If anybody has any stories regarding service experience and cost I would love to hear them.3. What kind of price should I be looking at paying? If buying at an AD, can I expect any possible discount on the w

Just got my first Omega. Thoughts?
Hi,I was waiting for this one and was debating between Explorer 1 and this.Walked to AD, tried and bought... What do you think?

Would you consolidate to a 5970?
I am seriously considering consolidating a large part of my collection to fund a 5970j. I was going to trade an AP RO SS perpetual calendar, a PP 5059j, an AP ROO Alinghi dual time, and an 18k bronze GMT II. Would you do that trade or keep the wide variety. I will be left with a 5712, a 5726a and a 5726 1/a white along with a SD, a black Daytona and a president. What do you guys think?

When will we see new DJ 36mm in steel?
With the release of the new TT version this year, how long before we're likely to see a stainless version with the upgraded movement and updated case?Haven't followed these things closely in the past, but is it the sort of thing where there will be an announcement via press release after a few months, or are the stainless versions typically released the following year at Basel?Also curious if/when the OP line is likely to see a similarly updated case design, as I really like the sharper edges/more tapered lugs and am starting to like the idea of a 36mm, light-faced watch (and no, it wasn't that stupid-ass GQ article someone linked to!).

Let's See Those Watch Trays!
I know a lot of you use winders at night, but for those that use watch trays, let's see 'em. Here's my Shinola leather tray. I love it.
