New member intro + pic request: Rubens Barrichello II Ti
Hey folks,Long time Panerai owner here. I've been looking at getting into an AP ROO for quite some time now. I was first convinced the Panda (older style) was the one for me... then switched to grey themes ti... then switch to the new panda... then settle on RG RC... then fell in love when I saw the RB2 Ti. For AP owners... did you have the same experience of not sure what I want for your first AP or did you guys/gals know right off the bat?Also, I've looked at every pic on google for the RB2 Ti. Can any owners post actual pictures of this watch? Last question... I have a relatively small wrist (6.2). I currently have a Pam 48 (40mm) and a Pam 88 (44mm). I've had the 88 for the last 3-4 years and think it fits fine. Will the ROO (specifically the rb2 ti) look massive on my wrist?Edwin

Changing the strap
I bought some new straps from AP and their watchmaker was not in the store. Is this something that can easily be done with a flathead screwdriver or is there a special tool needed?Thanks.EDIT: This is for a 44MM Ceramic and Rubberclad.

In the AP shop and I see this, see pic #1. I have thought about AP and felt they were too big on me. The 41mm seemed to work and I said, I'll take it. The AD told me it was Not for sale! What? I was shown several other watches and given the opportunity to buy one from them and become a customer of theirs and possibly have a chance to buy one. NO Thanks! A few other pics for the AP Lovers! What do your AP WI's Think?

Why is there a shortage of SS sports models?
Why is there a shortage of SS sports models? 20 years ago it seemed like every AD had doubles of every SS sports model and was readily offering discounts.Is it that the current typical buyer is more sporty in fashion and taste?As in, the older generation would pick something on a strap or something like a Datejust?It appears to my untrained eye that Rolex isn't meeting demand. Are they disconnected to the economic trends? Perhaps, not too concerned - being a charity?Or, maybe they are shrewder then they appear - letting out SS models at a trickle, further pushing up their brand?
