AP newbie questions
Hey guys,Sorry if these questions have already been asked but I'm new to AP with a growing interest. First of all, I'm a one watch guy, I have had my Yachtmaster for a while now and as of lately AP has caught my eye.First, I'm looking into 15202 and the 15400 with blue dials. Is this the best way to enter the AP world?Second, I know these are no Rolex, but how well do these refs handle an active lifestyle?Third, are the original AP rubber bands compatible with these? I like to throw the occasional rubber band to fly the watch under the radar.Any recommendations given my scenario?Thanks!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

16223 or 116223 Need Help! Your thoughts PLEASE
I am considering the purchase of a pre-owned two tone Datejust, either a late 90's 16223 or an early 116223 with fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet and white stick dial, full set. I pretty well know the differences in the two watches. I would appreciate some of your thoughts on the two choices. Price is not a big difference. What about the polished lugs on the newer style, that is one concern.
