No exhibition case back, ceramic does however. I love the FC as AP was the first to use it and no longer do for various reasons. But it has texture that the ceramic does not and does have a ceramic bezel which is nearly impossible to mark up. I wear this thing to do anything, its one of my keepers for sure. |

I have many PP's and AP's and all but this one has an exhibition caseback. I almost never take my watch off to look at that and honestly, really do not care much once you look at it a few times the first time you get it. Thats like a personal preference however and I get that. Its the same in house 3120 movement in either. |

I prefer the stick hour markers of the 15710 vs the squarish hour markers of the 15720
But you can't go wrong with any AP Diver |

Awesome collection. I’m not sure I’d get rid of that Santos as it’s pretty unique in your collection.
Also love that Speedy. I’ve tried that one on a few times and it wears incredibly well and a lot flatter than some of the other ceramic versions. A very unique Omega that is incredibly light and comfortable. I really like the new blue Diver. The green is cool too. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Also agree with u on the apollo 8. It's my favorite omega. I need to find a white or yellow 21mm rubber strap for it during summer months though. Take care and hope to c u soon. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk |

Nice collection. How much wrist time does the 5524 get? I have been low-key eyeing that piece. Seems pretty polarizing and generally people don't like it hence the discounts on secondary. Fellow jacket here. Sting 'em.

Is it possible to get an aftermarket rubber version of the standard strap? Same color and stitching? I like to keep my watches as original as possible, but the heat/ sweat where I live will deteriorate the standard leather band quickly. Thanks

Green 15720
They're such fun watches, so different than anything else in my collection. The premium summer watch on the market.

Great collection!
I’ve found once I moved up to wearing holy trinity quality watches that I can’t wear a mass produced Rolex again, I would trade all the Rolex watches for a couple of really special pieces

Very easy, one pin on each side of the case and one in the buckle. Just need a precision screwdriver set and a little green loctite to re-assemble. |
