ROO 44 Novelty question
About to pull the trigger on a new 44 and was curious on reliability thoughts from any medium to long time owners. I believe they have been out since 2011 so would be great to hear about functionality, timekeeping and service experiences. I had a 42 a few years ago but didn't have it long enough to asses and assume the newer 44s have a different movement anyway. Appreciate the feedback!

2 white dial watches in AP collection of 2 watches?
Hello folks!I've been loving my somewhat recently acquired 15400ST with white dial. I'd be lying if I said I didn't often think about the blue and black dial versions. However, I have no regrets. The three dials are all so awesome for different reasons, sometimes I feel the only way to relieve the doubt is to own them all lol!So movIng on, I'm considering adding an AP Diver and now I'm faced with the same decision. For some reason I'm very drawn to the white dial Diver, while I feel like the black dial is a little bit of a safer long term choice.Considering this Diver would accompany my 15400st as my only two APs, would it make sense to own two white dial watches? I'm really not sure what to do.Btw: part of the reason I like the white Diver too is that It'd only be a matter of time before a put it on a gray rubber strap, and IMO the gray would look a lot better with the white dial. I also think on a bracelet the white dial looks killer! Looks great on black too, but for some rea

5990, any downsides?
Hello all,My Rolex AD, who also sells PP, just got in a 5990 and offered it to me today. I have been on the waitlist for the 5711 blue for a little over a year and he implied that snagging this would push me up the list. I have tried the watch on and like the look and feel of it - but not sure if it is a definite keeper. I'm also having trouble gauging a fair price to pay to somewhat protect myself in case it doesn't stick around forever (I'm getting 2% off for check instead of CC).Has anyone here bought one and decided it wasn't for them? What was your reason? From my basic knowledge and understanding of PP, I know 11/12 are the most popular SS nautilus models, how is the 5990 relatively speaking?

Another 5711 Blue Dial Available
Got a call today from OC Tanner Jewelers in Salt Lake City and they just yesterday got in a brand new 5711 blue dial which I had put my name on the list for back in October. As I mentioned in my previous 5711 post, I'm getting one from my local dealer (coming this week!) so I'm passing on this one as well. But, if anyone here is interested, call and ask to speak with Salvo. I was first on the list but he said there are others after me so hurry if you want one now! Again, no affiliation with the dealer, just passing along the info on this not-as-rare-as-you-think model ;)

Should I sell...
Hello, all:Being that this is Rolexforums, I suspect I already know the answer, but...Would you sell/trade a Tudor Black Bay Noir (ETA) against a new Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT (SBGE001 or 201)?I've been intrigued by the SBGE001 for several years, but I never had the opportunity to see one in person (closest Grand Seiko AD is 4 hours from me). However, back in November, I had tried one on at the NYC Boutique and I can't get it out of my head!I don't necessarily need to sell the BBN to finance, and the BBN has been a great watch. My only complaint is that the bracelet clasp is a bit of a hair puller, but otherwise it's been nearly perfect.The problem is that, in terms of a daily-wear rotation, I am a two-watch guy at most. My other watch is a Speedmaster Professional that will never be sold. Given that the Spring Drive GMT has the same water resistance as my BBN (and could therefore be my default water watch), I think the BBN might be rendered redundant. In fact, I think the SBGE001 c
