I am thinking for my next watch I want an AP. I thought I was done buying for awhile when I got my Daytona a month ago. Problem is I tried some AP's on around the same time and now I have to have one. Which AP would you all recommend if I have a budget of around @$16k. I am right now leaning towards the Diver. Let me know your thoughts?

If your not looking for another chrono My choices would be the iconic RO 15300 or the DualTime.

As a Offshore fanatic i must say the Diver is one helluva great looking piece and definatly one on My got to have list

Keep us posted!

Great sporty watch for a different feel. The wide rubber strap with tang buckle is

.

+1 on the Diver although the Silver Themes is a stunner as well. Why not try looking for a used rose gold Rubber Clad?

chazha · 25 June 2011, 09:40 AM

+1 diver.. though I love the Panda but the Horn Back strap and folding claps is not very suitable for my wrist. I could imagine Panda with the rubber strap and tang buckle or bracelet will fit better on me :D

h999r · 25 June 2011, 09:57 AM

The rubber clad Rose its around 30K the used one. Over the budget of 16K. I like Themes barcelet.

Ranfni · 25 June 2011, 10:16 AM

I just got the Diver this month and I love it!!!

rosspanics · 25 June 2011, 01:02 PM

The diver is a really neat watch. I saw it in person for the first time yesterday. A little too thick for my liking though. I would recommend the classic Royal Oak for versatility.

Here you have the best of both worlds, dress and sport that go with everything.

Pic one, to buy first and you'll want the other in no time.

Diver the way to go!

ancs88 · 27 June 2011, 02:33 AM

I still don't like the idea of AP Chrono piggybacking...

Diver

So i got back from Vegas yesterday! I felt like I was in AP heaven. I tried on a Bumble Bee, Diver, black themes,the Las Vegas strip edition, the blinged out shaq edition and some others. The Las vegas strip edition was my favorite because I am a sucker for black and red anything. I tried to make a deal on the diver but couldn't come to any terms. It definitely is in my near future though!

h999r · 2 July 2011, 04:19 AM

nsatibl, which AP delaer did you go in Vegas ? Im going today. Is it the one in Palazo ?

h999r · 2 July 2011, 04:19 AM

If you able to change the rubber clad on AP Diver, change it to bracelet ... it look awesome ! You will love your diver more.

Ristretto · 2 July 2011, 05:04 AM

I highly recommend the Royal Oak Offshore Rubberclad, but have a look at the Diver it's a gorgeous piece as well.

salem65 · 2 July 2011, 06:34 AM

The ROO Diver would be my choice as well. It looks to be an amazing piece.

I went to Vicci in the forum shops. They are right across the hall from Tourneau to try on the Diver. They are the only store in Vegas that currently has a Diver for sale. They are part of 9 stores on the strip. They have a store in pretty much most of the casino's with different names. I think they are Venetzia in the Venetian. You should also check out some of the Richard Mille watches. They are nice! I tried on the Bumble Bee in Horologio which is in the shops between the Palazzo and the Venetian.

mdtddd2007 · 3 July 2011, 01:28 PM

AD Diver would be my choice.

Spencer · 3 July 2011, 02:07 PM

In no order, Diver, 15300, RO Chronograph.
