AP royal oak day date moonphase
Hi all, I'm new to the AP brand and not very familiar with their full catalogue yet, but my research has brought me to spot a particular model which I think is a real beauty! The article in question states this a 1984 APRO day/date moonphase and I was hoping to get more information about the model. Would anyone know what specific model this is? Or even better yet, any members here own this particular watch? Does it have a transparent case back? How would a 30 year old AP hold up in terms of accurate and reliability? Is there a similar currently model, and what would be the pricing difference between new and vintage? Thanks!

Arrival!
The other day I asked for some opinions on whether I should let 2 Rolexes go and pick up my first AP. I had already made my mind up bur just needed some reassurance from you enablers out there that I wouldn't regret my decision. Just picked this up from FedEx a little while ago. I must be having some beginner's AP luck too since I was able to track down the much sought after bracelet over the weekend.

ok navitimier 01 it is...
so the only thing that stops me before getting this watch is how can you clean it is you can't get it wet? i clean all my watches with soup and water.. who has this watch and would you recommended? and how do you clean it.

Omega SMP 300m: Real or Fake
I'm wondering if I made a mistake: I bought a Seamaster Pro 300m 2250.80.00 off eBay. What wasn't advertised was there were no boxes, cards, manual, nada - just the watch. I've had one before and it looks real, but a couple of things came up as red flags. first it was advertised to fit an 8 wrist (I have a 7 1/2 and it's tight). This could be an honest mistake, so I'll that one go. Then I notice that after wearing it for a day, it was stopping when I took it off and let it sit for a few hours. It's supposed to have a 44 hour power reserve. Then I started looking at the back and there is no serial number. This could have been filed off as grey market dealers were doing that for a while.No red dot but I don't know if they were on this model. I don't recall from the one I used to own (that came from Watchmaxx and had everything but the warranty card). Also, the little imprinted diver helmet or whatever is not there. I saw another 300m on eBay that didn't have this emblem, so again, I don'
