AP Diver Crown Issues
I hadn't worn my AP Diver in a while and while setting it this morning I had a hard time turning the crown to adjust the date and time because the rubberized portion of the crown was hitting the brackets around the crown. Anyone else ever have this issue? Very strange!

AP Jumbo Pic request
Hey guys,About to pick up an AP Jumbo soon for my 30th birthday present as well for a gift for my up coming wedding. Wanted to see some pictures of it to get my excited for my upcoming purchase but would also want to know if any of you guys have ever put it on a strap or if that can even be done. I doubt the plots are the same as the 15300 cases and not sure if anyone made plots for the former 15202 case style. If so I really want to put it on a strap to switch it up at times.Thanks a lot for all your input and I look forward to your pics. Thanks!Brian

Dear TRF members - I love you and hate you! I have been on this forum daily for the last 2 years but never decided to participate - I have a lot of experience in the last few years on watch purchases and now have decided to participate and add my opinion good or bad! I used to be a usual watch person buying and being happy with a Rolex every 10 years or so until I started to be influenced by you bad boys - But I love it!From Rolex TT Sub blue that I loved for years to 16520 flip, 116520 flip, AP Royal Oak flip, Submariner flip, Rose Gold Skydweller flip, Pam 311 ouch that was costly flip, Patek 5711/1a blue dial flip, Rolex DJ11 flip, and so on in the last 2 years - flip, flip, flip....Finally in the last few weeks settled on Patek 5167a and 5205G and first on AD list for 40th Nautilus. Anyway I hope you enjoy some photos and I look forward to discussing Patek and other brands with you all. Don't know how to upload multiple photos so the following will have to do!NB will also post

This is one of the coolest dials
The first edition of the YachtMaster Platinum dial with the fat deep red letters and the rough blasted sparkling surface.

Picked up a Black Bay in house black a short while ago, but didn't totally satisfy the itch. Been looking at lots of stuff online, and one day maybe a BLNR but none around and not willing to pay grey premium. Looked at lots of vintage but had a 1680 a couple years back and only kept it a year, so decided to not go back down that road. Other than that, wanted to try on DJ41 and Explorer.Local AD had the exact smooth bezel blue Oyster 41 I've been lusting after, and it's super nice on the wrist but a touch formal for me for every day, so I was willing to walk away. Also tried on a 36 but too small. When I mentioned interest in the 39 Explorer, they said they had one in back on deposit hold but they'd let me look. Yup, great look great fit. Pics online make it look bigger than reality, in case you are in doubt! Would I take one today if they had one downtown? Yes, but none. So they phoned the person with the hold, and got their OK to wait for the next shipment expected next month.
