Hi all, I'm new in this forum, currently only own 15400st, now it's time for me to go for 2nd AP..in my mind now only with the choice of ROO ceramic diver..

Any suggestion that which more worth for me to buy/collect which equivalent budget with the ceramic diver?

FeelingTheBlues · 24 March 2014, 08:15 PM

I'm not sure about the price but I'd try to see if something in rose gold could be bought, I think AP has a very nice alloy when it comes to that color.

How about one of the 2014 Novelties ROO ? Take your pick

Ben, please send that tray of candies to my address.

My vote goes to the AP SS diver and pocket the remaining cash

Very nice wrist presence and wears flat. SS vs ceramic, both are winners either way.

Cru Jones · 24 March 2014, 08:44 PM

what you're thinking of is exactly what i would want to pair with a 15400.

Yes, if you want a RG chrono then I can heartily recommend my beautiful ROC.

s14roller · 24 March 2014, 11:21 PM

I'd go with one of the 44mm ROOs...honestly can't go wrong with any of the lineup from there.

Otherwise, ceramic Diver is also pretty nice

Fiery · 24 March 2014, 11:41 PM

My vote would go for the ceramic Diver. It's such a cool time piece, and IMHO it's the best ceramic case watch design ever made (with 2nd best would probably be the Omega Dark Side of the Moon).

texex91 · 24 March 2014, 11:48 PM

44mm Novelty - ANY OF THEM!

Also, think your idea of ceramic ROO Diver is a great choice

Johnsy · 24 March 2014, 11:51 PM

Hi Ben, wish I can get all

I am not only new in the forum but also new to ap. the first one from the right in the first row look nice to me. May I know the model and the price? Additional info on my 15400st..Mine is one with white/silver dial. Hope with this info I can get better suggestion. Thanks.

sebastien1975 · 25 March 2014, 12:31 AM

I would go for a diver Forged Carbon. I prefer it over the ceramic

Speed · 25 March 2014, 01:29 AM

This all really comes down to aesthetics...not an investment.

These divers are really what I call "gentleman" divers. It's doubtful many would strap none of these on for serious diving vs a Sub or dive computer.

Get the one you fancy. I think the forged carbon model looks pretty cool myself.

Hairdude1 · 25 March 2014, 02:01 PM

I say SS diver, it is my favorite in my collection

biglare · 25 March 2014, 04:26 PM

Yeah as some others have stated go for the SS Diver. It can be dressed up or down. Great overall piece that you can wear daily all the time.

kilyung · 25 March 2014, 10:56 PM

Go with your first choice - Diver

subtona · 25 March 2014, 11:06 PM

Ceramic Diver is very complimentary to your 400

VICI · 25 March 2014, 11:19 PM

The way light is reflected off of the ceramic bezel is simply gorgeous.

Go sporty to balance the 15400

Nice picture!

masterserg · 26 March 2014, 12:12 AM

What are you looking for? Chrono / non chrono / size / durability / colors ...

I would prefer a 44 ROO but any Diver is super nice! Truth be told, they are all super nice!

CWIN · 26 March 2014, 02:40 AM

Diver!

improviz · 26 March 2014, 12:52 PM

I'm in the same boat, fwiw I am leaning towards the SS Diver, just love it.

Shade · 28 March 2014, 04:38 PM

Sadly i have an unusual shape of wrist and very small, I cant even wear the 15400 properly, its always either too tight, too lose, or having the bracelet pressing against my vein... Sigh.

Diver for the win though!
