My first AP

Some of you may have seen the thread I started a few months ago about winning an Ebay auction for cheap and deciding if the watch was real or not. I ended up picking a 15703 Diver last week from a friend of a friend and could not be happier. I wanted to thank everyone here for their help and insight. I did a lot of reading on this forum and you guys were all very helpful.

Off topic but does anyone have any insight or experience with a stainless bracelet that came with the watch? Seller said it was a genuine AP stainless bracelet but I prefer the rubber bracelet.

Congrats, as for the SS Offshore Bracelet that is an addition you can do. The watch was never offered with the bracelet from AP. I used to own this reference and just added one after.

Congrats! Diver is an awesome piece.

As Alex already mentioned, the steel bracelet is a separate item to purchase. I believe it costs around $2,300.

A great watch! The bracelet can be had for just over 2k. I also prefer the rubber.

The diver is a great watch! I love the small date cyclops inside the outer crystal. It's a great touch on my favorite ROO.

Thanks guys. The bracelet came with the watch and I don't have any use for it. Do you know what fair market value would be so I can list it for sale?

Thanks for the responses guys. I should clarify that I already have the bracelet and wanted to know what fair market value is to sell it as I like the rubber much more. Any insight would be appreciated.

I have an Offshore SS bracelet not sure if its the same one that fits with the diver but i love it. Its extremely comfortable. But the diver is a water watch so i would stick with the rubber especially for this beach and pool activities.
