Need help choosing the next one....
Hi Gang,The journey's been real. I guess my AP love affair really didn't start until my second time around. What I mean is, it's always memorable to reconvene with something so great the second time you got to come around owning it. I got my first AP when I was way too young and before I realized it was something so great it had already been flipped. That was a black themed SS offshore on calf (before hornbacks were the standard straps). I completely deviated from any AP pieces for a long while until I bought my second one back (ROC Panda) less than a month ago. For a while I thought I was done with the offshore line (to sort of justify having sold my 1st one), but no, I bought a diver right after the panda. And of course, all your gorgeous pics of your offshores, be it LE or not, have made me come around and now wanting one again. I've narrowed down to just four and wanted to know which one you guys think I should go for.1. Volcano2. Bumble Bee3. Gentleman's Driver4. 57th Street NYChe

5980 Opinion Need
Dear Friends,Ever since I sold my 5980 last year I have regretted by decision! I have now got the opportunity to once again add one to my small collection. However, there is a small dilemma (a good one to have). I have a chance to pick up a Brand new 5980 Blue Dial or a 5980R on a leather. The difference between the two being only $5K USD! I am not sure which way to go? What are your thoughts in terms of a better value here?

Waterproof Leather strap for sea diving???
I am looking for a strap for water and day wear, I am going to live in Thailand in a few months so heat, transpiration and swimming will be permanent. I don't like very much the feel of the original Panerai rubber strap on my wrist, nato's are nice but I prefer way more leather straps. There are a few strapmakers that have for sale leather waterproof straps, has anyone already used these straps for this kind of use, for example in places like Florida or others?What are the result, does the strap hold the distance or are they just a little more resistant than a good aftermarket leather strap but no more?Thanks for sharing your experiences about this, I have found a few but the ones from good strapmakers are not cheap, between 180-240 dollars, would hate to spend that kind of money if it only lasts for a few months.
