the annual "should i flip my AP poll"
every now and then i will feel the urge for something new... whether to flip or add, i'm not sure, but i narrowed it down to these 6 choices and just for fun, i'd like to see what the forum thinks:1. Black themes (previous generation without the red highlights)pros: i have it mounted on a rubber strap so it's both sporty and elegant at the same time. matches anything. if i stick to it, i don't have to spend a dime.cons: sometimes i find it dull and devoid of personality. very 'safe'2. Steel rubbercladpros: cool and sporty lookingcons: i would only want the H series with the updated glossy dial and white gold AP logo and chrono rings and it seems hard to find. also not as formal looking3. Rosegold rubbercladpros: ultra cool and sporty looking. can also be considered elegant because of the goldcons: more expensive. too blingy looking? i'm a pretty down to earth guy so may not suit me...4. Navy (2014 version)pros: sporty looking and blue is my favourite colourcons: not as formal looking.

5712 as your only watch?
I've had several threads about the 5712 and 5164. I think I'm leaning towards the 5712, but to get it now would mean I'd like pair down my collection to just the 5712 at the moment. So...Does it make sense to have the 5712 as your only watch? Currently I have a BLNR and SS Daytona, and while the 5712 is not a PM watch...it does look more dressy to me than my Rolexes. I know it will look great with a suit and when I'm dressed for work...but what about when I'm casual?? Is it a watch that goes with anything? It could just be more history with Rolex but I've been very pleased with how versatile they are...and the PP 5712 just looks more formal to me - hence my concern.Anyone just have a 5712 and/or use it as their daily go-to?Thoughts?

Hawaii trip and watches
Been away from the forums for a bit to get unplugged (if there is such a thing) for a family vacation to Hawaii. Truly enjoyed Hawaii and got to visit Oahu and Maui. Truly beautiful place with stunning scenery everywhere and amazing beaches, which kept me away from the internet for the most part, but of course I had to try and check out some watches while I was there Very happy that I was able to check out some models that aren't available where I live, and the places I visited was more than friendly.So I thought I'd share some of my photos and hope you enjoy. Majority of content is Patek so decided to post it in this sub-forum, but mods, please feel free to move the thread if there is somewhere more appropriate.I was jet lagged when I arrived so what better way to start off the trip than to head out to the beach at dawn?I decided to go with my trusty G-Shock for this trip and it definitely survived everything I threw at it We hiked up Diamond Head and was rewarded with a great view

Rolex diameter choices
Does anyone know how does Rolex dictate what watches get what diameters? I'm a part of the small wrist gang, 7in, and would love to see Rolex make some 37s-39s, especially in GMTs and Subs. However, if Rolex came out with the Deepsea 116660 in a 38in...I would camp outside the AD. I like the new subs, but not a fan of the tankery on my wrist. I hope Rolex comes out with a slimmer case (already a thread about this) and/or a smaller diameter, 38in.
