Learning to dive...
Hi guys, my first thread in the AP forum! I'm a long time AP fan who lusted after a white faced ROO chronograph back in 2005, and when I looked again they had jumped up in price too far for my taste. Given the list price is now ��18k I wiped the thought of AP from my mind... until I wandered into this forum one fateful day and found the Diver Appreciation Thread! Wow! An amazing looking watch which didn't just sing to me it ORCHESTRATED!!! So I started reading and learning more about the watch and the amazing 3120 movement and suddenly I realise, I'm in love! This is bad news given that I just bought 2 watches already this year and told the wife I was now done! Needless to say the hearts and minds work has begun. In the interim I thought I better go and try it on in the metal. All I can say is wowed! My son was smitten too, and said I need the FC too! Anyway, enough words, enjoy some pics of my fact finding mission, and if I'm lucky I'll be the ecstatic author of an Incoming thread soon

Got to try on a TI Schumacher yesterday
What a beautiful watch. It was rather large but didn't look so big on my wrist. Felt much lighter than my Daytona. Makes me want to find a RB2 in Ti. The red date wheel really sets off the dial along with the mirror polished sides of the bezel. The only part I didnt care for is that it has a buckle and the rubber strap was so wide. Why don't they make a deployment buckle for these new 44s?Also what is the rotor material made from? My relative that owns it thinks its platinum but wasn't sure. It looked too dark to be platinum to me. Here it is dwarfing my Daytona.

Hello all, just picked up an Omega Seamaster 300m Professional at a local pawnbrokers hence although I know its a genuine example I have no paperwork, my question is does any one know how to date the watch from the serial no.
