Rubber strap for 15400 white dial, small wrist question
Hi folk. Had AP itch for ages and hopefully going to scratch it soon... So my aim is for the white dial 15400. I understand this is 41mm and tend to wear large due to the metal bracelets. 6.25 inch wrist here and I would hate to see gaps hanging between my wrist !I've had a chance to try on my cousins roo white diver last month- and being 42mm the rubber strap actually fits / hugs pretty decent ( although small gaps still exist).However I know I can never truly enjoy this diver as a daily wearer due to the height and size of the case. Great casual watch never the less. So my goal is to have white dial 15400 with white rubber strap.Is this doable ?Other thing to bear in mind is that where I live there is no AP AD . So would have to purchase everything though a grey dealer.Not sure how easy it would be to get the parts...etc.P.s. I don't like leather band so much. Rubber for the sporty look!

Congrats on the SO II!
USPS kindly delivered my first Breitling today. Superocean II Abyss with blue ring on Pro II bracelet. Apparently, I don't have the correct size screwdriver to adjust this bracelet so it will have to keep resting on it's pillow for now. It looks fabulous in person! I will post much better pics once it is ready for action! (Stickers and protectors staying on for now in case I have to take it somewhere to get it sized).

Does anyone use a chronograph?
I was trying on an Aqua Terra chronograph GMT and I think it's one of the nicest looking watches out there. If they could add the GMT to the plain old Aqua Terra it would have been mine.It got me thinking if anyone really actually uses the chronograph, or is it just one of those things that's cool to have?

Long-Term View On Smaller Pateks
Hello Everyone,I am wondering how others view the long-term desirability of smaller Pateks. In the past watches would grow or shrink with tastes in fashion but at this point it feels like even if there is a shift back to smaller watches that the days of 35 mm cases for men are gone and unlikely to ever return. This means that watches like the 3796 and my 5066 sell for very reasonable sums considering their age. Will these models ever return to desirability in the resale market? I am very pleased with my Aquanaut and the lower resale value allowed me to get back into a Patek at a price that I could afford (and to get a modern automatic with a display back, date display and a second hand). I have also considered adding a 3796R to my collection. I personally think that the smaller models won't appreciate long-term as well as larger ones but I was wondering if others felt the same way. Thoughts?
