2018 seems to be bright for AP!
The amount of watches they are dropping next year is mind boggling and the Royal Oak demand is stronger than ever. The fact that they are releasing so many models doesn't bother me since total production is still 40k anyways.Retro beast is a hitCamo 44 definitely has a market for itCeramic 42's are finally available The polarizing new anniversary Offshore has its sights dead on RMThat's not even mentioning the new 44mm RO's and and various other RO's (37mm frosted openworked )I've always been critical of the 250k AP's of the past, since many were ROO's with a tourb slapped on it throwing off the whole look.Not anymore. AP is letting it known that they want their old RM customers back, and customers of this level can afford to buy both. Only disappointment is RD2 availability. You can't show us something like that and say TBD.Let's just not talk about the new divers............

Macros of the New SIHH 2015 Diver Silver-Tone White Dial
Enjoy guys!!!.watchcollectinglifestyle....es-and-pricingFor those of you asking about retrofitting the display case back to the ref. 15703 Divers, the answer is no. Audemars Piguet won't do it as this is a completely different ref. number 15710.

26300 / 15300
Can somebody tell me the weights of the ROC vs. RO, or maybe the weight difference? Also, how differently do the clasps fit on the wrist? I have pretty flat wrists. Removing 1 link on the 26300 fits perfectly.Thanks!

Thinking of selling a couple rolex for a Aquanaut.
So, I am giving some thought into selling my 116613LB and Explorer(39mm) it help fund my first PP, Aquanaut. Before I do this I need to know what to expect from the watch. I am not sure, but I think it is safe to assume that the Aquanaut will not be as durable as the two Rolexs mentioned. With that being said, the use of the watch will not be for heavy use. i will leave that to my Hulk Submariner, which I plan to keep.The intent of use will be for travel, possibly swimming, dinner, Church and other medium task. No golf or tennis or snorkeling, eventhough I believe it ca handle diving 60'. Please tell me if the watch is too delicate like its siblings and that I am better off keeping what I have, or will it do what I want it to do without breaking a sweat.Also, what can I expect form the company itself when it comes to warranty, service and cost of service.

Sea Dweller 43mm vs Explorer II long term value
This is the first thread I have ever started so please ignore any improper or silly questions. I am also very new to nice watches and really need the opinions and help of those much more knowledgeable and experienced than I am. I have enough saved to buy another watch and am having trouble deciding between the new SD 43mm or the Explorer II 42mm. I have all the technical and price difference so guess my question is simple. I would love to say I will keep this watch forever and pass it down to my son someday, however, I can't say that for sure. In your opinion, which of these watches will hold or increase in value the best in the next 5 or 10 years? Is one a better long term investment than the other. Thanks so much.
