I hate AP

[G'ed]

Due to frustration with my first AP (15710ST White Diver), I keep telling myself don’t buy another AP. Weeks later, I bought another one but sold it later. And then repeated again. And again. Now I’m on my fifth and sixth AP.

Today I bought 15703ST again, for second time. Next to another discontinued brother 26400SO.




I hate AP.

Damn your pics capture just why! Look at the finishing and craftsmanship and that's just on the front.

When you scrutinised the case finishing and design, can’t find much fault. Those crisp edges and perfectly polished surface beg to be dinged and blemished by their owners.

For some reason APs tend to come and go faster than any other brand for me BUT I get more excited about new APs than any other brand

I need therapy apparently. You are certainly not alone.

Gorgeous pair. I'm also guilty of purchasing the same reference more than once - comes with WIS territory, I suppose.

Drooooool! Nice combo. You might run through that dilemma a few more times. It's always great to have at least one in your collection.


May I ask what your wrist size is? I've a tough time with the Diver. As an observation, it looks like the lugs extend past your wrist, but it kind of works... in terms of the look

same problem we all have.... you're not alone my friend...

Thanks, glad to know I’m not alone. I need to go for AP-addict support group.

My wrist around 6.5”. In term of RO/ROO, best fit will be Diver on standard length strap at smallest or second smallest hole. I feel that 41mm 15400 wear bigger than 42mm diver.

Black 15703, 2nd smallest hole.


White 15710, smallest hole. Snug fit. White dial wear big, as usual.


IMHO, RO Diver is the best designed AP watch in term of look. Sleek, toolish and yet refined and dressy in some unexplained sense.

^ Agree, hence why I got the diver. It's a complete watch, best way to describe, especially on bracelet IMHO.

Now I need to go and source for the bracelet!

Those look massive. Agree on 15400 vs ROO. Get an XS strap.

Thanks bud! We have the same size wrist then. I just love the black Diver. It’s perfect in many ways.
