AP ROO Novelty in Black Ceramic 26402CE
Dear all AP lovers,Today was a great day for me, because I am the proud new owner of a BNIB AP ROO BLACK CERAMIC 26402CE. This is such a beautiful piece and compliments his younger sibling in the collection, the AP ROO STAINLESS STEEL 26400SO so well. It took me a while to decide, but now I actually wonder why I hesitated at first. Perhaps because I already own the SO or maybe because I was actually waiting on the AP ROO WHITE CERAMIC 26402CB, but the availability at my preferred AD has been postponed till the end of 2014 / beginning of 2015.So, everything happens for a reason and this must have happened like this. And hopefully soon I will be able to complete my AP ROO collection, but something tells me that is just the beginning of a long and beautiful relationship with AP.Aldino

SS Aquanaut on brown tropical strap
I purchased the strap from the rose gold version, I like the way it looks, goes great with the dial. Stopped by the Service center in Rockefeller Plaza, great place and at $250 it is very reasonable a things considered.

Steel Daytona
Does anyone know what the actual waiting list size is for the steel Daytona ?

A Fish Can't Give You Love -or- Trade Explorer for Submariner
My ex-wife wanted a cat. I told her we can get a fish. She said A Fish Can't Give You Love.I'm starting to feel the same way about my 214270, now that I've had my Omega Speedmaster for a bit. I like actually interacting with my Speedy. I like to wind it. I like to use the Chrono - and I use it more than I ever imagined I would. And I enjoy looking at it.But looking at it is all I can do with my 214270, and that's all the love we'll ever have. Is the Explorer my fish that I like to look at, but it can't give me love back? It can't respond to me like a Chronograph or Diver's Bezel. If I had a Submariner, I could engage it to measure elapsed time. And I would also enjoy looking at it. Another Rolex option, I could engage the GMT, but I really don't need GMT - I don't mindf*ck myself when I'm in a different timezone. And I don't need to check time at the home office back East. The SkyDweller and YachtMonster are not for me. So maybe a Sub is in my future. I've learned
