ROO Diver purchase - would you?
I am new to AP. I have several Rolex, the Omega DSOTM and a Blancpain FF Bathyscaphe. Both the Omega and the BP are new, sealed watches. I am interested in purchasing the ROO Diver, model 15710ST, I series, brand new.I would need to move the DSOTM and the BP FF to purchase the AP. Unfortunately there isn't an AP dealer near me, but I do love the watch. My wrist size is 7.25 so I should be fine. I wear my Polar Exp ll (216570) most of the time, it was an anniversary gift. I am very casual, never wear suits, mostly shorts. Spend quite a bit of time in or near the water. I think the AP will fit in just fine.The question I have is would moving both of these watches for the AP be something you would consider if the right offer came along? Would you expect even deal, cash to or from the seller? Thanks again.
RBii vs. JPM vs. GP
I'm looking to purchase my first AP imminently, and I was hoping some of the cognoscenti here could help me out. I've narrowed my choices to the three above, all in gold, but am having trouble pinning down the exact size of each. I've tried on the Grand Prix, and know it's 44mm, but I've seen the Rubens and the Montoya listed anywhere from 42-46mm. I'm a large mammal, and definitely want at least 44mm, so if the other two do, in fact, clock in at 42mm, my agonizing decision would be much easier. Thanks to any of you fine folks who may have an answer, and I'll be sure to post my purchase next week.
DSOM question.
Hello folks,I'm wondering about ages for those who owns DSOM. I'm 44 years young and sure that DSOM will look great for next 10 to 15 years.. But I am not sure if I see myself wearing it over my 60s. what do you guys think?
What can you tell me about my Seamaster?
I inherited it from my father 5 years ago. It was his daily beater. He probably bought it in the late 50s and, knowing him, it was pre-owned. The crystal is cracked. The stem winder is pulled out and lost. Is it worth repairing, from a strictly financial point of view? It is solid gold and has the original strap. If I shake it it will run for a bit, so it's not in a hopeless condition.
PAM 532 - lucky me!!!
Had a great chat at the Panerai boutique in Manhattan and walked out with this ...
