Back to AP....
...have been without an AP since I sold my 15300 this summer, yesterday I got a minty Diver from Dec -13...BUT I have some questions-I find the edges under the buckle VERY sharp, anyone else experienced this?-I need to source a smaller size strap (I have to use the last hole since I like to wear my watches tight) I have the original on mine, what size is the smaller one? anyone know the RRP of these?

Opinions on trade/upgrade...
Hey guys. I have an about 1.5 year old 8500 calibre Planet Ocean 45.5mm that is one of my favorite pieces. Good size for my wrist, and weight. However, I continue to be drawn to these newer 43.5mm 8900 calibre models for some reason.I know that the new model has a Master Chronometer rating, but aside from that, and size, would there be any real advantage to making the move to the newer piece?Price is pretty good on the new models. I would probably buy the black, with black leather/white stitch. I am interested in hearing what the opinions would be.Cheers!Jason

The most accurate wristwatch ever?
Came across this little bit of info earlier this week, thought I'd share it.Once again, it shows just how well-made some of the brands that are considered 'low-end' are.The Citizen Citizen Crystron Mega or 'Mega Quartz'. c.1975!Considered by many as the most accurate wristwatch. Whilst most quartz watches were within 15seconds per month, the citizen mega quartz/Citizen Crystron Mega was accurate to 3 seconds per year. Per year, people!A bit of info on it's 'thermocompensated' quartz movement:Stability in a quartz watch's rate, comes down to the cycles/beats of its resonator, the quartz crystal. Apparently, the crystal actually moves, many many thousand times per second. The fact that they have such a high oscillation rate negate traditional factors that effect a rate, ie: arm movement, watch position, gravity and so on. However, one small drawback appears to be that it is affected slightly by temperate, which has been the greatest cause of rate difference in quartz watches. One way of

Updated 5170 from Baselword 2015 - what do you think?
I quite like the updates made to the 5170 with the pulsometer removed and the inclusion of a black dial with the WG case. What do you think?
