Is the ROO Diver more durable than a 15300?
Hi All,I've had a 15300 for around a year now and have had a lot of issues with the durability of the watch. I love the look of it, and am thinking about trading up to a ROO Diver, but are there extra measures to make sure it is durable in place? I know it has the same movement as the 15300/400 series.Or should I not expect any Royal Oak to be as durable as a Submariner?(Note, when I speak of durability I mean wearing it playing sports and having issues)Thanks!

Out with the old, in with the new......
So, a few changes to the AP collection:- The 57th Street has gone to a new home, a lovely gentleman who was a pleasure to deal with. - The Novelty Rose Gold has gone to a different home, again a very nice chap who was also a pleasure to deal with. - The Legacy has made its way to yet another abode, the beast will be missed!I have some interesting bits on order, if AP ever decide to confirm, but in the meantime, I treated myself to this:

Grey market - how to curtail?
So we all have views on the Grey market. To me it just sells the product at market value and should/will always exist.What bothers me is that Rolex is not doing enough to curtail it.I am aware of how the grey dealers may obtain these watches. I doubt many of their watches come direct from the Ads (buy 5 of my hard to shift models and have a Daytona) - That would be too easy even for Rolex to discover and shut the offending Ads supply down. Many of these watches will come from individuals that have their name down for select models at numerous Ads.So how do you think Rolex should address this issue? A few suggestions:1.Make the warranty non transferrable so it's only valid with the initial purchaser (Rolex would make more money, or could possibly extend the warranty to say 10 years for the initial purchaser)2.A central data base of names on waiting lists at all Ads �C anybody with their name on more than one list for the same watch gets removed from all lists.3.Deposit payable on enter

Guessing
So my wife and I went into a local sub shop yesterday after mass to grab a sandwich before a hike. On the way in I noticed a Bentley Convertible. As I walked in I started trying to guess who was driving the Bentley. As I was walking to my seat i noticed a youngish guy wearing a 36mm white dial DD and told my wife that is the one. Sure enough he was the one....what is it about nice watches going with nice rides?
