Today I’ve added a 5th AP to the collection, and I’m blown away by it!!

AP have been superb, a truly great buying experience throughout.

Thanks to the forum member who helped me get this, very grateful.

Kudos, great choice. Now you just need a couple of screwdrivers for strap changes and away you go, infinite strap colours and infinite new watches to wear. Enjoy.

Curious to hear your thoughts on how it wears compared to the Diver.
I haven't been able to try this one on and have gone back and forth on the 42mm vs 44mm Offshore.

Major grats, it’s amazing. Only thing holding me back on this one is the hopes they will do a 40mm

Pretty sweet looking. Assuming you like the blue over the white on first glance strap wise?

Nice one! Congrats!
The flatter case and less weight are so nice

I think it wears pretty similar from a visual perspective, I’m not convinced the case depth difference is particularly noticeable. Also, whilst the Diver has the bezel rotator on the left which adds size visually, the 26480 has the two pushers on the right, so they are broadly equal in that sense also.

But from a wearing experience perspective, the lightness of the 26480 makes it significantly different, it’s really nice to be doing stuff and not feel like I’m wearing anything. The weight (or lack of) is really remarkable. That’s not to say the Diver doesn’t have a place, the weight of the Diver gives it that robust/quality feel.

The 44mm is just that little bit too big for me, but of course there are a lot more options at that size (if you like the squared off pusher design).

Yeah, I was waiting for that as well. And if it happens, my order will be placed immediately!

If you have to be cool to pull of the white strap then I'm in trouble, its my absolute summer favourite, ever since the SE came out.

Today is my first day on the blue camo strap, only because I fancied a change and I've never worn the camo so far.

Are the diver 42mm straps compatible with the new 42mm Chrono? I hope so.

Love the watch and for me the best 42mm. I almost bought it before going 44. I love the square buttons and i love the TI weight and i also love the white strap!

Awesome...Congratulations!! I'm supposed to be "on the list" for this and am waiting patiently so also count me as very jealous!!

I really want to see the white strap though...You absolutely can pull it off! If you change the straps, I wish you luck because I spent 90 minutes this week putting a new strap on my Ghost
