Need some 36mm AP/RO advice
Though a 36mm Rolex Explorer I would make me happy, happy, happy... I just don't need the attention it may draw from customers or employees. I've had displays of wealth come back and bite me in the ass.Searching for a brand to fly under the radar, I've become interested in a 36mm AP-Royal Oak.I really like 36mm for my day to day use. I cannot stand much more than that size.Is there anything that should concern me about discontinued models?I understand the servicing can be expensive and time consuming.Is it more the passage of time and changing fashion that I see so few 36mm RO's? Very little discussion...They are priced right to boot.Any guidance appreciated.

Best Friday Ever!!!
What a way to start the weekend, get home from work and my wife passes me a package!!! Could not even wait to take the plastic off before it went on the wristBetter photos to follow tomorrow sans plastics, my camera battery was dead

PO 42mm weight : is it really unbearable ??
Unfortunately my relationship with the amazing IWC Galapagos is not working as expected so I've decided to put it for sale and go back to a more simple watch,just plain steel,time and date.I already own a Sea Dweller,wich I admit it took me quite a bit to get used to it's weight. I'm finely tuned with it now and I barely remember it's there,do you think I may noticed the further weight increase wit the PO (42mm,bracelet) ??A lot of enthusiastic reviews on the web about the PO,but the weight issue is something always mentioned.Wrist test at ADs has been done several times,but you know the feeling...when you are at an AD most of the times emotions take over and everything seems perfect....
