Is this a good price for 15400ST?
Hello everyone,I got a Rolex recently. But started looking into AP recently. Love the simplicity and the design. I am looking at 15400ST with the blue dial or white dial. I can get white dial for about $17000 after all the discount and taxes. The blue dial would be about $17800. Not much discount on the blue dial. Both dials are amazing. Has that interesting shine to it. And the bracelet- it is just amazing!The price is from the AP boutique for a brand new piece. Is this a reasonable price? Do AP offer any discount? On Rolex it is common to get some discount depending on the model. But the AP time pieces are completely new to me.Looking at chrono24 the piece I am looking at, is priced at 20-24 k. I am a bit confused. Would be glad if someone can direct me. Thanks a lot.

Learning to dive...
Hi guys, my first thread in the AP forum! I'm a long time AP fan who lusted after a white faced ROO chronograph back in 2005, and when I looked again they had jumped up in price too far for my taste. Given the list price is now ��18k I wiped the thought of AP from my mind... until I wandered into this forum one fateful day and found the Diver Appreciation Thread! Wow! An amazing looking watch which didn't just sing to me it ORCHESTRATED!!! So I started reading and learning more about the watch and the amazing 3120 movement and suddenly I realise, I'm in love! This is bad news given that I just bought 2 watches already this year and told the wife I was now done! Needless to say the hearts and minds work has begun. In the interim I thought I better go and try it on in the metal. All I can say is wowed! My son was smitten too, and said I need the FC too! Anyway, enough words, enjoy some pics of my fact finding mission, and if I'm lucky I'll be the ecstatic author of an Incoming thread soon

Is this a fair price for a pre-owned 2011 Aquanaut 5167?
Good condition. Keeps time well and not polished.Has all the papers/box etc. Bought on December 2011. Not been serviced.Buyer is asking for USD $15,000.What do you guys think?I have seen brand new ones for $18,000. Would you think this is a fair price?I like to buy being on the safe side because based on my previous experiences, I have ended up selling some of my watches a few months after purchase.I just want to make sure I won't take a big hit if it came to that and I just didn't bond with the watch very much.
