AP ROO diver v Pam 233
Hi, I've been considering getting an AP ROO diver recently and wondered how it compares to a Pam 233 in terms of size and comfort. I own a 233 and it's probably the biggest my wrist could take.

How to Stay Passionate About Your Collection
Not all of us have the funds to scratch every itch or to keep adding pieces to a collection.

Too good to be true?
I'm in the market for a submariner... and heard DavidSW was a great deal. He has a pre-owned Submariner 114060 in pre-owned excellent condition listed for $6100.. just doesn't have warranty card or papers.. 6100 seems very low for an excellent condition pre-owned Rolex sub just because its missing a warranty card/papers... is that normal?.. I haven't seen any good used subs less than 7k... Thanks
