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!

Is it me? Basel 2018 one month away but not much hype
Just wondering something I was checking the website today and Basel is one month away. Now, I could be wrong (Usually am ) but there doesn't seem to be much Hype this year. I am thinking last year, we had threads and threads of discussion on predictions, desires, fails etc. But it seems to this WIS that this year is somewhat subdued(?). Does anybody else sense that we are not as excited about this Basel as years past? No Paul... only you... you're the only one.
