Anyone plan on buying any new AP 2018 Novelties?
Just wondering... Because I am not planning to, for the first time since I start collecting AP watches 5 years ago, not even one single piece this year interest me. Certainly not those horrid colored divers. ( apologies to those that like them ). Originally was considering the 15202IP but considering the bezel is so easily scratched and after seeing some live pics and video, I changed my mind ( not to mentioned AP probably sold out before I can get one ). I also think they drop the ball big time by failing to release the long overdue inhouse chrono.I got an invitation to preview the novelties in the local Singapore boutique but I don't even feel like going this time.

It had to be done.......
Well.... sometimes in life you either take it or leave. In this case it had to be done.

LOVE my new Speedmaster Pro Tintin!
I am usually not the kind of person to post an incoming (still have to properly introduce my BLNR in the Rolex section) but I am so happy with my new acquisition that I would like to give it due credits!Long story short, I started in the (serious) watch world in 1998 when I rewarded myself with a Seamaster Pro 300m diver (aka the Bond watch or 2531.80 for you geeks!). Wore that one for 16 years straight when I stumbled The Rolex Forum as I was increasing my knowledge for my new passion of really serious watches. Had long been eyeing the Speedy Pro but the Rolex GMT Master-2 was starting to catch my eye and I had a new admiration for Rolex as a brand (used to dislike them quite a lot as the cheesy glitzy old DD and other TT DJ were never my cup of tea... I will admit). Eventually, I got a 3570.50 and as much as I loved it at first sight, it proved to not be a daily wearer for me as it was lacking the date and I felt that the hesalite was a bit too prone to swirls. Decided to sell it to

Aquanaut or Nautilus
HiWhat would the consensus be on aquanaut or nautiliusfor next watch.I prefer the case and face of the nautilus, but prefer the rubber strap option of the aqaunaut. Does anyone think they will ever do a standard steel nautilus with a strap option (rubber?) in the near future?ThanksGrant
