What your watch says about you - AP?
Hi guys,I found this info graphic in my archives; it generalizes a lot, but I found it entertaining to read anyhow. If AP was to be included, what would be the description? I believe the source might be chrono24, but don't remember.

Omega Apollo XVII 40th anniversary in the flesh
I was at the Omega boutique today snooping around (with Snoopy on my wirst) and the sales woman noticed it and asked if I'd like to see one of their newest Limited Edition Speedies. I said sure, being a Speedie nut, and it happened to be the Apollo XVII 40th Anniversary Speedy. Now I hated the look of this watch in photos and most of the people on TRF have also said it's quite ugly, so I was a little surprised to find that it looked a little bit better in the flesh. Don't get me wrong, it's not gorgeous and I wouldn't sell a limb for it but I experienced a solid 10 minute internal monologue where I tried to figure out whether it was alright or if I was losing my mind. Then my wife walked in and out came the following Hey, that's a pretty distinctive looking watch but how do you tell the time at all?!So yeah my wife thought it looked cool, and I'm still on the fence about its looks. What does everyone else think? Sorry for the bad photos was in a bit of a hurry after the monologue ;).

005
I tried to get some heavy metal in my photos, like Jocke, but I could not find a damn thing around the house that would work.So... I did what I always do: go in the back yard, stick the watch on top of the Webber grill and take a few shots.

Explorer 2's Future
Seems like model changes are coming more frequently across the Rolex lineup of late. The current model Explorer 2 has been around since 2011. Based on that, what changes do you think might be in store for the Explorer 2? The most popular on TRF seems to be a move back to 40mm. Any outside the box thoughts? Precious metal version? Two-tone? New dial color?

Another happy LAWW customer
Just received my watch back from LA Watch Works and am incredibly happy with my experience. Start to finish they were a class act. Great communication, on time turn around, and most importantly, incredible work. I sent them my 16570 after RSC completely ruined my case the the last time they service it - 2013. At least one of the worse jobs I've seen. Now I'm not one to baby my watches, especially this one, but it drove me bonkers every time I was reminded of their botched work (almost daily lol). Though, I held out from trying to getting it corrected as I figured Rolex would correct the geometry the next time it was sent in for a service. Fast forward till about a year ago, I started seeing LAWW work all over the forum and was impressed with their capabilities. Sent mine in for a spa treatment and very satisfied with the results. Below are some before and after shots:
