I like that Royal Oak with black bezel. Could you please enlighten us with the background behind these pieces? Were these prototypes? What's the story behind them?

Thanks.

My Understanding is that they are Prototypes.

Hi Eric

They are real and are in AP's museum. Thanks S for sharing the pic.

Here's a link I posted on my previous thread regarding the carbon Diver ( pics courtesy of DRMW ):

http://www.network54.com/Forum/12546...een......Part2


Personally I like the diver style but as I recall AP couldn't get the bezel to work with it's octagon shape. Thats why the current Diver has an inner rotating bezel.

I always thought the 15300 should have had crown guards to seperate it from the 15202 and to stop people labelling it the Jumbo.
I also think AP should release a destro version to fully exploit the diving market it's designed for.

I think I might have to check out that AP's museum one day
