AP AD Vs Grey Dealer
I have been waiting quite a while for a piece I recently put a full deposit down from an AP AD. I was originally promised it would be here within 1-8 weeks once the full deposit was made. Seeing as how it has now been 10 weeks since the date of deposit, I have been constantly questioning the validity of the promise. Playing the waiting game makes me look into other outlets and now I am wondering what are the pros and cons of purchasing from an AD vs a trusted grey dealer. From what I can come up with:Pros of obtaining a piece from an AD:-Specific watch will be 100% original, no chance of an aftermarket part swap-Warranty from AD to last 5 years (since 2017)Pros of obtaining a piece from a grey dealer:-Don't have to wait for the watch as it may be in stock-Price may be lower than an AD since they are more willing to play ballBetween the points that I have listed, is there anything that I have missed? Although I noted that the warranty may last for 5 years from an AD, if purchased within

RO diver sizing
Lately I have taken a liking to Audemars RO Diver. In the past I didn't feel I could wear one because they always wear bigger and I have a smaller (6 3/4 inch) wrists. I tried on a RO offshore chronograph (42mm) and it was still a bit large but doable . Does the RO offshore diver (42mm) wear any smaller? Does anyone with smaller wrists have the diver, and if so can you submit photos of how it looks on a smaller wrist? Thank you in advance.

Daily Watch - Patek 5980R or AP Arnold Allstars
Hi Guys,I have been enjoying my Patek 5980R for almost a year. Although it is a beauty, I can't help but feel it might be a bit small on my wrist (my wife doesn't think so but I do). I am 6ft and 250lbs (115kg)I have recently been offered a straight trade for a like new 48mm Arnold Allstars.What would you suggest for my one and only daily watch?

Quartz Bond SMP vs IWC Mark XV pilot
I'm buying one of the these watches to be my daily wearer. I already have a white Daytona that is my grail and need something I can wear for every occasion. I'm leaning towards the Omega because of the bracelet and overall sturdiness but the IWC is just gorgeous and it's an auto. And no, an auto SMP is not an option, it has to be one of the above. What do you think? The blue quartz SMP or black IWC pilot mark XV on black leather.
