A Week On The Wrist: The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver
100 feet underwater isn't the best place to start wondering if you’ve properly screwed the crowns on a $17,100 mechanical timepiece. I had double- and triple-checked the seals and springbars back on land, while suiting up for a dive on the Hilma Hooker wreck in Bonaire, but just to be sure, I gave them another twist. I descended the sloping reef to the capsized ship, a freighter that sank in 100 feet of water not long after it was seized by authorities who had discovered 25,000 pounds of marijuana hidden aboard. Along with me was no ordinary dive watch - this was the Royal Oak Offshore Diver, the 2010 release from vaunted Le Brassus manufacture Audemars Piguet, with the lovely automatic calibre 3120 inside. It would be a crime against horology to flood this baby.The Royal Oak Version 2.0The ROO Diver represents a milestone for AP, just like the original Royal Oak did 39 years ago.

Finally joining the AP club!
Hey guys!Graduated this weekend from my MBA and I always got myself a timepiece for all my life milestone. So happy to finally be able to get my dream watch to mark this occasion! Nice to meet you all!

Looks like many are getting but don't think I have seen any delivered to the US yet. Can't wait such a beautiful watch and the prictures of the lucky few that have received them making it harder.

Planet Ocean problems
Hi AllI have two watches a PO 42 mm bought new this year and a Rolex GMT II c also bought new this year. When I read the relevant forums I see alot of complaints about problems with the PO stopping/ breaking down etc and yet I rarely see any problems with a Rolex movement. To date I have had no problems with mine! But are Omega and PO's really that problematic? And are Rolex movements that much better?

Batman GMT future value?
I am interested in picking up a 116710BLNR, and was wondering if you guys thought now is a good time to buy. I realize Baselworld is coming up shortly, and there's a possibility Rolex may update the movements in their sports watches. I think it's unlikely, but Rolex could also discontinue the batman if they release the coke GMT. Do you think the future of the value of the GMT Batman will be affected if it has the old movement? Thanks!
