Added a 15707CE to the collection

Lovey watch. Weight is so different from the AP Safari. Overall, I can see this one sticking around a while.

Here’s a picture of putting it on the first time yesterday and this morning after a drive in the 911.

The orange and black go just perfectly with the old Porsche VDO gauges.

Congrats! Love the CE Diver. Can’t go wrong with a full ceramic AP.

Congrats OP! I have had my eye on this one for a while. In my mind either this or the aquanaut would be my daily watch if I could obtain them. Unfortunately one is unobtainable and the other one is out of production. Since you have both I am interested to know what you think about dailying a PP aquanaut vs an AP 15707CE.

So as long as you buy a watch matching your car it´s fine.....the other way round could be more "interesting"
Looks great

I love the Aquanaut. Such a clean watch. Extremely light weight. Compared to even a regular sub it feels like you’re wearing nothing. Very under the radar. I bet most folks think it’s a Apple Watch on the rubber strap.

The AP, even under 14mm, would be tough to get under a dress shirt and jacket. I haven’t tried it yet, but I will. I think the AP will be a weekend watch for me, and will save my PP and JLC perpetual calendar for my dress watches. The AP looks awesome. Really like the ceramic. I didn’t try it before I bought it, and I am pleased with the purchase. I think I’ll get the orange strap for it, as well. I can see that being a perfect summer strap.

Thanks for the detailed reply! I just wish those watches were available to be seen in the flesh before purchasing. Will definitely take your points into consideration.

Congrats, welcome to the club. And yes, get the orange strap. Gives it a bit more punch.
I wear mine on weekends as well.

It’s such a great watch. I ended up getting a lightly obsessed with getting one a couple of years back...and am delighted that I did.

Congratulations on picking one up. Wear it in great health

Great summer watch, get that orange strap on it and head for the beach, and bring a long stick with which to beat off all the girls.

I currently own two. Had a few 911’s in my time, started early! Went from a ‘84 to brand new 991.2 with a few in between and have settled down now with a ROW ‘81 SC and a ‘97 993 Carrera.

Both incredible cars and the 993 I think is the perfect blend between air cooled analog driving and modern day convenience and features.

‘81 is Black Metallic and the ‘97 is Ocean Blue Metallic.

Nice!

I used to own a 15703.ST, but yours is the nicest Diver in the collection in my opinion.
