Couldn’t agree more! Just got the grey version this week. It is no shrinking violet and may take a while to get used to but it feels good on my 7 inch wait and I wear it a bit loose on the 4th hole from the watch

I went for a discontinued diver, as I wanted ceramic bezel, wet dial, stick markers, and black/yellow color combo. The forged carbon case was a nice added bonus. My favorite AP....

Congrats on your first AP. I’m I’ve recently added the grey diver to my wish list. If you purchased directly from AP UK are you happy to share your wait time? PM if preferred and wear your new watch in the best of health

Here comes another negative post in a happy thread. I totally understand forums are for sharing different perspectives, but your posts are becoming reminiscent of the neighborhood geese that come around and poop on all the nice lawns. I hope you feel relief too

I can certainly appreciate dissenting views and have not been shy in sharing mine. Even negative views can still be constructive. Why don't you enlighten us as to why you couldn't be happier? Are your wrists too small to handle something this size, was it too top heavy, were you unable to read it, could you not get a comfortable fit, did you not like the polished bezel, or was there some other reason or reasons why you were so happy you sold it?

Did you play Golf with your diver? No issues with the movement?

Sold it as I went for the 15400sr, and to me having 2 APs in a collection is redundant.
To me AP is synonym of the royal oak on metal bracelet, or ROO. The steel diver is, to me, a hybrid that i never really bonded with. It looks too basic for an AP. Doesn't help that my wrist is not super big either.

You don’t seem to have the inside ring for the “air tank” setup. Is that what it’s for? Remaining oxygen? I don’t even shower with my diver. lol.
Sitting at my computer watching Netflix and reading forum.
