Any Rolex Guys Bought an AP Diver?

I am wondering if any of you Rolex aficionados have purchased an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver (or Chrono)? If so, how does the quality and resale price stack up to Rolex. I am thinking about adding a second brand to the collection and I am having a little trouble swallowing the $15K asking price (when compared to the price of a Sea Dweller for example).

I am interested in hearing your experiences/opinions about AP from a Rolex collector's perspective. Rolex is the only high-end brand I have ever owned.

Not sure about resale value, but the quality of my ROO is definitely a step up from my DSSD. A truly phenomenal piece. AP is an incredible brand with a very impressive history and tradition. A notch above rolex, imo.
