Buying my first AP!
I just bought my first AP - an offshore diver. Will post pics when it gets delivered. With the good news out of the way, I wanted to ask the AP people their opinion: Do you think the 15202R will get discontinued anytime soon? I tried on the watch this past weekend and LOVE it but I can't afford it just yet. I would hate to see it discontinued before I get purchase one. Do you think the AP Royal Oak Extra Thin (JUMBO) is here for the long haul? Will AP make changes to the model or do they normally just leave things as is?Thanks!

Diver I series Crystal and Solid Case bBck
All, I just bought an Diver I series, some Divers I see in I series have solid case backs while some have the new Crystal back. Would AP upgrade a solid case back to crystal upon service if requested?

So my thoughts turn to a cheaper, durable, water resistant chronograph (I'm a chronograph-only nut) and I eventually bought a blue dialed Seamaster 2225.80 as my beater.So the first thing I noticed when I got it is that it was really a great-looking watch. The blue dial, red accents and overall looks/proportions look tailor made for my wrist. The wave pattern reminds me a bit of my AP which can look slightly different in different lighting. Yes it's a thick watch, but my Speedy and PAM have me condi

Anyone putting off their next Rolex purchase??
I'm curious if anyone who had plans for their next Rolex purchase have decided to hold off because of how the market is acting?
