What??
Very unhappy, my diver never had the slightest shock, never, and just now I see that a small chip of ceramic between the bezel and the crown guard, basically the most protected part of the case, has gone off, in itself it is like a normal cut in a metal watch, it is almost not visible, because of where it is situated, but this is very disappointing since this is AP ceramic which is supposed to be 7 times harder than steel and it was never ever hit even moderately on something, and that part is so protected you have to take a very pointy chisel to make it, which I did not do, I suppose it is a construction failure, just hope there won't be any other... Not sure you can see it, it is basically in between the crown and screw of the strap, again it is the part of the case between the bezel and crown guard... No you see it, the small white mark just under the rubber image.jpg

Strap vs Bracelet
Do youll feel there are some brands that just look better with one over the other?You are def. influenced by how they are normally shown (rolex on a bracelet) but there are some brands that have a more even split between the two.I only care for my rolex sports models on its bracelet, and I only care for a Panerai if it is on a leather band.For some reason Panerai and AP's to me just look perfect with the contrast between materials from being on a strap/band. I was contemplating getting the bracelet for my Diver, but am actually not in love with it. I realllllly like the bracelet, just as though I really liked the bracelet for a Panerai, but I think in general......AP's look better on a strap of sorts.Therefore...I am thinking of picking up a black hornback > bracelet.Thoughts? Anyone else have some generalized opinions on the subject?

Hi there!I am thinking of a wedding anniversary gift for my ever so loving wife and thought of giving her a watch for this milestone in our lives.A little background:My wife is a corporate lawyer so she spends most of her days in the office or board room working on mergers etc. but despite my wife's aggressive nature of work she is very feminine and it reflects on how she dresses and how she carries herself. Her requirements in a watch is that it must have a date, must be a white or light colored dial. the Calatrava & twenty4 collection might be out.I am looking at the nautilus collection and picked this two out and would like to here your opinion on it. (almost the same price range)RG on leather strap w/ diamonds: (the store has this in stock)RG on bracelet w/o diamonds: (I have not yet seen this in the flesh)In you opinion which of the two reference looks best for the RG nautilus lady? why?Some say a diamond bezel makes the watch more feminine? what say you?My wife's daily watch
