Roc - msrp, purch price, retained value
So, first and foremost I have only recently even began to consider AP as an add to my small collection and one single watch fits the bill.....the ROC. Now I'd love either a blue or black dial but know nothing about the AP market. I know msrp is about 23k but beyond that, what should I expect to pay at an AD? what discounts have you guys worked out? hows the value retention? Stepping from Rolex into another brand feels like walking through a mine field! But man thats a damn fine watch

A Great AP Day
AP ownership has been a very rewarding experience to me so far and the joy was perfectly illustrated yesterday when I met a new WIS friend through the forum and yet another perfect experience at the Singapore AP Boutique ------------------------------------------------------------------------Had a nice coffee before the meeting...------------------------------------------------------------------------Ben had posted here not long ago for some advice on adding an RO in his growing collection. I had the pleasure to offer my 2-cents and we soon met up for some AD/boutique crawling yesterday. After meeting at our favourite AD along the Orchard Road, we decided to check out the RO/ROO at the boutique which is just a stone throw away.------------------------------------------------------------------------With the help from the boutique, it is confirmed that my 25721ST is produced in late 2001. Hence it's now 11+ years old. Still young...--------------------------------------------------------

5167A or VC Overseas Grey Dial
I'm having a difficult time deciding between a PP 5167A Aquanaut (time +date) and the VC Overseas deep stream (grey dial time+date) on a rubber strap. This watch will more than likely be my daily. I know the 5167 is a great watch. Are there are any pros or cons to either model that I should know about before making my final decision?

Where can I get the quick strap change tool?
I am looking for a spare one. Where can I get a one? The service at Istanbul does not have in stock. Do you have an advice?

Planning for the next crown
Hey all, need some opinionsCurrently I have 1) 1140602) 116710 ( bought it to be my boy s growing up watch)Recently I was blessed with the arrival of my little girl hence I am thinking of acquiring another crownBeen thinking of 1) hulk 2) 116613LNI really love the submariner range and I am thinking of retiring the 114060 for my Daughter. My mind is on the TT but it will be harder to wear on a daily basis. But the 116613LN has always been a grail ( not bluesy, I don't know why but it just don't sing to me) I really like the classic black and gold look.The hulk is growing on me as it reminds me of my little girl now hahaha she is a little fighter! But the price is atrocious ( talking of preowned here, almost the same price of the TT)no Batman please and no Daytona ( doesn't sing to me too)
