AP is disappointing in this respect...
Hey everyone,I really want or I should say wanted to get an AP sports watch, but doing research they really do not make many or any durable and scratch resistant watches anymore especially in 42 or smaller (not including discontinued models).They discontinued the ceramic divers, discontinued forged carbon and currently all you can get is steel or rose gold in the 42 or less size (according to guy at the AP boutique).I just don't get why AP doesn't make a watch that is Richard Mille-like in durability, scratch resistance and shock absorption, considering how closely they work with RM.Just venting a little, but considering the popularity of RM, you would think AP would make some middle tier priced durable, light weight and scratch resistant high end sports watches in 42mm (or even 44 for that matter).I am saving for a RM 055, because their ceramic is 1400 vickers (more scratch resistant than rolex which is 1200), it's light weight, comfortable (some say most comfortable watch they have

Aqua Terra Chronomter - Tek Silver or Gray Dial?
Hi - I am new to this forum and am currently looking to buy the new AQT (2008 onwards model) but unsure which dial colour to go for. I want it to be a more casual looking watch, to wear both with a suit every day and also jeans/t-shirt, etc.Most have advised me to go for the silver finish as it will also look great with a brown leather strap if Ii want to interchange, and it perhaps looks a little less formal?Currently own a 19 year old Deville Quartz in gold, so whatever I choose it will be very different.Any advice would be great.Thanks.Matt

World Time 5110P is the most photogenic beauty, but wasn't for me
To add variety to my collection, I have wanted a world time watch for years. I have always drooled over PP's choices, especially the 5110P. In my opinion the 5110P is the most beautiful watch in photographs. Its balanced design is superb. It's a photogenic beauty. BUT, on my wrist, it was a complete disappointment. To me the blue was much darker in the real world, unlike the lovely color seen in pics with ideal lighting. And at 37mm, it got lost on my wrist. I tried it on several times over the years, but couldn't pull the trigger. One time I even tried it on and a 5130 on at the same store. It was like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. You know, I found the one that was just right. I could feel it. I continued my search for another year and finally found a great deal used, pulled the trigger, and I am SO happy now with my 5130J, and my 3rd PP in the family.Those original, heritage, world-time classic hands of the 5130 grew on me. Now I like them. The size and fit is excellent for my wrist

Anyone own a 183 AND a 292?
Are they too similar to own both? Please comment and post photos! Thanks.

Legacy watches.
With a heavy yet proud heart I put on my dad's datejust today for the first time since he passed. The watch is nothing special and not my style. However, the since of pride I felt this morning wearing it brought great memories. I'd love to see others legacy watches or hand me downs and also love to hear any stories that may be associated with them. I always remember playing catch with my dad and my son and him always fiddling with the watch coming out of the mit when he caught a ball. Most of the time he'd take it off and had it to my daughter to hold. She always looked at it with so much admiration and sense of importance that he'd trust her holding it. Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to share. We all know how special Rolex's are and the stories known only to the owners that are associated with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
