I'd still get the Diver over the Grey dial, but really not much in it as they feel and even look pretty similar, unless either function is more useful.

I totally respect this and totally understand what you're saying.

BUT with that said... there was a thread a bunch of months back titled "the path to precious metal" or something like that. I looked through it briefly and honestly couldn't relate at the time.

I do totally get it now though. I feel like I'm entering the proverbial 'top of the SS food chain', and it's almost like a bucket list of watches I need to get in/out of my system before i can take the path to precious metal.

I'm also not totally sure precious metal is for me. My lifestyle is super casual. Summer: t-shirt and shorts, winter: is sweatshirt and jeans. At work I really don't want to and won't feel comfortable wearing PM. In fact I won't even wear my YM2 or my Hulk (mostly why I bought the Tudor BBB). There are some PM I absolutely love and definitely lust over, but I'm all about practicality.

Anyhow, hope that makes sense. My therapy hour is up

What do you mean "but really not much in it..."?

How would you feel about my trading away me Rolex LVC Hulk for the AP Diver? Making my base trip rotation...
-Tudor BBB
-Rolex Yacht-master II
-AP Offshore Diver

Yachtmaster makes my eyes hurt.
ROO - while no shrinking violet - is better I think.
