About to get AP Diver
I have gone back and forth a ton with AP never pulling the trigger, for many reasons not worth getting into.About to get a Diver and a bit concerned about size. I regularly wear a 42mm explorer 2 and that fits just fine. I have a 43.7mm Breitling as well. Fits fine. I am about 5'10 at 180lbs. Average wrist that I refuse to measure (just because I am odd, and I think it is odd)Anyway, any average size guys out there wear this watch? Pics would be appreciated. Many thanks,

2500 or 8500 ?
Paid a visit to one of my local A.D yesterday with the hope of looking for a Planet Ocean Liquid Metal L.E. As you guessed, they didn't have one. On display in front of me was the 45.5mm new Planet Ocean ceramic with orange 6-9-12. I tried this on and was impressed with the quality and weight of the watch and also how the 6-9-12 reflected the light, quite superb! We talked watches for about 20 minutes and I left with the salesman's card and that he would phone Omega UK about the availability of the LM LE and phone me when he has some more info. He phoned today when he said he would with the news that Omega UK have back orders for 77 of the LM LE and couldn't promise that all will be fulfilled. He also mentioned that the 42mm version of the new PO 8500 with the orange 6-9-12 is also on back order with a total of 74 people waiting.Now comes the dilema, do I buy the 45.5mm 8500 PO which is in stock or wait and see if a PO LM LE comes up?The LM LE is priced at ?3700 with no discount due

Any of you Patek owners vintage Rolex collectors also?
I was all ready to pull the trigger on my first Patek this week. Well the offer fell through and a friend of mine said I really need to give vintage Rolex a try. He says, New watches are cold and lifeless. I said if my Patek deal feel through, I'd give it a shot. Well, deal fell through and I half committed to a vintage Rolex (1675). (based on condition, paperwork, etc, but it is apparently very top condition - not rare however).Well, now the Patek deal is back on the table as previous buyer backed out (briefly I'm sure). So, any Patek fans here also vintage Rolex guys? I have a 16610 and a 116610lv. Should I go entry Patek first or mid-tier vintage Rolex. If I go Patek, I have to back out of my Rolex agreement, but I it would not be end of the world.
