Can a lady wear a men's AP?
Hi all I have browsed the entire owners' thread and did not see any ladies posts. I am intrigued by the day date moon style (with a bracelet-no strap) and wondering if I could pull this off. There are no AP dealers where I live, so I can't try on for now. What are your thoughts?

Another one on a strap . . .

2531.80 or 2220.80 Seamaster?
I'm considering these two watches, along with the 2201.50 PO. I like the PO in a lot of ways, but I definitely like the blue dial vs the black dial of the PO, which brings me to the two standard Seamaster Professionals.The 2531.80 is the older non co-axial version of these two. It's not produced anymore but is pretty prevalent on Ebay and could be bought at a pretty low price, about $1200-1400 for a nice one. The 2220.80 is the newer model with the co-ax and would probably cost about $1700 on the resale market or $2400new.It's said that the non co-ax version should be serviced every 5 years, and that the co-ax can go 10 years without servicing. If a service costs $450-500 is it a no-brainer that I should get the new co-ax version if I intend on keeping the watch a lifetime? If I buy a used 2531.80, it will probably be several years old already and will probably need an immediate service, thus bringing it up to the price of a resale 2220.80. Are there any other factors to consider

The SD43 is a thing of beauty
Hey Folks- I simply cannot stop staring at this watch since I got it a few weeks ago! It's incredible both aesthetically and from the feeling on the wrist. Took a pretty cool picture on my iPhone the other day while at the beach, wanted to share it with you all.
