Diver
Do you think AP will one day release a SS diver with ceramic bezel? That would be a hell of a watch, I am sure they thought about it but IMO they don't do it because it would make too much competition with their 44mm SS pieces with ceramic bezels which go for much more than the 42mm diver, with the ceramic bezel it would clearly blow away any other dive watches on the market, even without it's one of the best, but with it the diver would achieve perfection.After more than 2 days I am still in awe with the work, finish and perfection of AP ceramic, it's just incredible and next to it all other full ceramic pieces from other brands look like poorly finished, to my very limited knowledge no other brand does that amazing mix of brushed and polished ceramic, and the vertical lines is a definite plus, I'm sure the first models with satin finish are great but those lines just gives it a little something extra

Visit to HSWA in NYC
I stopped by HWSA again today to drop off a vintage piece that needed servicing. It's a simple 2-hand manual movement.I got a quite a chuckle out of the staff claiming that they have service turnaround times somewhat under control now stating that std complications with auto movement have 26weeks TA while manuals have 21weeks TA In addition, I cannot believe they were proud to say that each turnaround no longer has a 16week additional delay on top of the std turnaround times making each 42weeks and 37weeks WTF I thought about asking for Patrick who is the service director there, but half of me said why bother knowing they would pitch the same BS story and excuses.My patience and loyalty for the brand are really on thin ice.

The blue always catches my eye!
Whenever I wear this watch I love how the dial always gets me. Just thought I should share.

Better investment? PAM or diamond tennis bracelet?
I offered to buy a tennis bracelet for the Mrs.'s but she says she doesn't necessarily want it right now. So, I thought I'd use the money to buy another PAM for myself for the time being. I would never sell either of the two if bought but I'd still like to know what you all think about which will be worth more down the road in case I had to sell. So let's say I was able to get an $8K the PAM for 10% off or $7200 and the tennis bracelet costs the same which would likely have a 5.0 t.c.w. of round brilliant VS1 or 2 and H or I color. Will the PAM retain it's value better than the diamonds?
