AP ROO Lava (LE of 99) - Thoughts, Opinions?
Looking for a new AP and was wondering if anyone here had any personal experience with the AP Lava LE of 99. I've attached a pic for reference for those who have no idea what I'm talking about. For a do it all AP, do you think it's a bit flashy or too over the top? I've tried to find pics online, but it's hard to get a glimpse of what the watch looks like in real life. I'm a serial flipper and wonder if I should hold out for something else. I currently have a 42mm 26170 but really want something ceramic with an open caseback (possibly the diver). My wrists are 6.25 and really don't think I could move up to the 44mm (26400) which I think is stunning - apart from the size. I have an opportunity to pick one up for a good price, and wanted the input of fellow enthusiasts. Any thoughts?

Hello new to the forum and 1st Submariner
Hello new to the forum and just got a Ceramic Sub as a present yesterday... I always dreamed of having a rolex and said one day I will buy one... Well yesterday my family said lets go to the mall and walk around... I had no clue what they were up to... We walked around and past by Mayors/Rolex, they said we want to look at rings... Of course i went to look at the rolex section... I didnt know but i guess they planned to surprise me and a salesman came up to me and said congratulations on your new rolex submariner... Im like huh did i win???? Family came up to me and said life is short and you always wanted a heirloom to wear for the rest of your life and you finally beat cancer, you deserve it... Of course when i saw the price for 8500 plus tax i was like nooooo i feel bad you spending your money on me, we can go get a pre owned one for maybe $7k to $7500 plus tax... Of course no box or warranty card but comes with 1 year warranty... They said nope we want you to be the original owner

Basel 2018: change Deep sea D- blue bracelet
As Basel approaches & the hype mounts regarding the unavailability of SS sports models, I find I'm more drawn to them. Marketing tactics aside, the lighter weight, lower cost and tool watch ethos appeals to me. Sooo I'm looking at the D- blue but would like a better proportioned bracelet similar to the SD 43. Any insights? Rumors? Assurances from AD's?

Help me decide between OP36 vs 39
I am currently torn between the new OP 39mm (114300) vs 36mm (116000). I've tried and set my mind on the gorgeous blue dials. With the OP39, the size is ok to me since I am wearing the GMTc. However, I just love the 3-6-9 on the OP36. The reason I lean toward the OP series because I want a Rolex that I can wear everyday, both with suit and short (as in pics below). I found the GMTc's thickness a bit hard to stay under my cuff and the ceramic bezel actually got more attention to compare with the classic EXP1 I used to have.So my question is what do you think between these 2 OPs suit me better? Is the OP36 too small for me? Thank you! Here are pictures side by side.
