AP Royal Oak Offshore Diver Crown Question
I am 90% sure the next watch I will get will be the AP Royal Oak Diver 15703ST I just have one worry, the rubber clad crown and bezel adjuster crown. How sturd are they? Has anyone ever had any issues? I know the properties of rubber and am concerned about it getting brittle and cracking Like wise there is a rubber layer in between the case and the bezel!I'm sure AP have tested it and ironed out any potential flaws but it a real niggle in my mind!Any assistance would be greatly received

Pay over MSRP for a SS Rolex or put it towards a used Ferrari?
Just a warning...this is MORE whining and complaining.The state of affairs makes me honestly sad...and I deal with sick and dying patients almost every day.I really wanted to commemorate finishing med school, finishing residency, finishing fellowship, and treat myself nice after all the stress I go through on a daily basis....but now I can't even get a new 116610LV which has been out for years unless I pay a grey market dealer $2,500 over MSRP. No one even has a 116610LN sitting around any more. Its worse for ceramic daytonas.Been on wait lists since last year...One local dealer here in Texas told me he had 20 on his list.Well, either the market will settle down, or the MSRP will go up and desirable SS sports models in the professional line will continue have scarce availability further exploding demand and price...Maybe the time to buy used is now before it gets worse? I realize owning a new pepsi or STILL waiting on a daytona or hulk will unlikely bring me a watch or any joy in

1st incoming for 2018
Just ordered a 116300 with Rhodium Arabic dial, I was not planning to order anything yet. That is my new year resolution out of the window, just have to wait for its arrival along with a watch for my partner.

Bracelet questions
I have asked this before but did not get much response. Does anyone have an experience with someone in the US. That does DJ and DD bracelet repair (tightening) and polishing? Any input would be much appreciated.
