AP RO as a daily driver
Hello all,I have always been into vintage Rolexes and Omegas. Never considered a AP until now. However the Royal Oak has been growing on me every time I see it. I have heard though, that they are not as robust as, say, a Sub for daily wear. Combine that with the fact that service cost for an AP is much higher than what RSC charges (which is already thievery IMO), I am interested to know what you as owners of the RO feel. I am looking at the 15300 or even the 14790. My wrists are 6.75 and I also tend to gravitate towards smaller watches.

Change dial on my 15300...
..I really like my black dialed 15300, but thinking it could be fun to have a white dial as well, I know with Rolex this is not a problem (in Sweden anyway) but how is it with AP???Have any of you guys changed dials? if yes, what was the cost, did you keep your old dial???Anyone having a extra White 15300 dial, please PM me...

Sometime back I jumped into a thread by Traveller �C with comments by Cru Jones as well �C re: straps from Dangerous9.

But back to the Ammo��The pouches date back from the 60's to 50's and then some.

Trading a 116500LN for a DSSD..
I’ve had my 116500LN for a little over a year and was watch I coveted since a teenager. In the year I’ve owned and worn the Daytona, I’ve begun to wonder if the size is too small and possibly a DSSD would be a worthy trade. I initially disliked the DSSD in pictures; however, I tried one on my AD last week and really liked it. I am wondering if this is a silly move and if the DeepSea would be a silly trade for this watch. Opinions from the group would be appreciated.
