Hi All,

I can't help myself, I love the Royal Oak. It is also such an icon for a steel sport watch. Comfy and looks great. But I am little bothered by a depth rating of only 50m on a sport watch. Come on AP! An icon of watch making, why cant they make their flagship sport watch 100m? Many other brands can and in a case that is just as thin. A bit frustrating, as I live near the beach and like to swim in my watches.

I am not trying to insult any buyers or the brand. I still hope to have one one day.

So with that said, does anyone have any guidance on how careful one must be with the 50m rating on AP's? Anyone have any water issues?

Thanks.
