To add to the Diver, I just picked up the 26480...becoming a bigger and bigger AP fan!
It’s on the Diver strap in this picture as I’m waiting for an XS strap to arrive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Love the Diver on the metal strap, think it would wear too big on me with the steel strap so have stuck with Rubber. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just got mine, and love it! Suspect a lot of people are holding out to see if they bring one out with a ceramic bezel, which many prefer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is the 26480ti hard to get from a dealer or boutique?
What are people's thoughts on this model? I kinda expected this to be a popular model because of the fixed thickness and new dial layout but don't see many taking about it Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

You can't go wrong with a diver or 42 offshore. They are both great watches and many variants to choose from.
I've owned multiple offshores in 42 and 44. Havent owned a diver yet, but on the list for the future. I miss the 42 chrono, so I have a 26470 RG on order now. Good luck on your search! It's have the fun.

Just got my 26480 2 weeks back.
It is just a matter of timing or luck. When I was first looking at this model, no stocks anywhere but boutique is accepting deposit and said it should be in soon. Thereafter I found one from AD and bought it immediately as I don't have to wait. I just heard that boutique have it in stocks now. This is for Singapore by the way.

Just bought my first AP last year and would have never imagined buying a 42mm ROO, tried it on loved it and bought not looking back. Really want a 44mm as well. Have a large wrist over 8 inches. I’d say go for it.

the 26480ti is a great watch with slimmer case, stunning dial and stunning hands. but titanium is just not my taste.

I love the diver, especially the chronograph. My favorite offshore is the SS ginza. |

As a Ghost owner, its a solid line but my two biggest irks are the nipple pushes and the coat of arms rotor (prefer the 44 pushers and skeletonised rotor)
The recent Ti model is a step in the right direction though so let’s see how the improve upon it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have a 15710 Diver and a 26480 Chrono, both 42mm.
Both are terrific watches and add some fun to my collection. I have the Diver on an AP Purple strap and the 26480 on an AP Ghost strap. Also have blue, red, and white straps for them. My Royal Oak 15300 suits me better, but it’s very similar to my Nautilus or Rolex in terms of general look. The Offshores offer something different and give the chance to mix it up for a cool summer vibe. If I had to pick one, it would be tough. I prefer the 26480 but whether it’s worth the premium over the Diver I’m not so sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
