My Diver has become my #1 watch

In the last 2 months I have acquired 2 new watches, the Rolex 116718 and the AP Diver. While I absolutely love the yellow gold GMT, the one watch I currently enjoy the most and find myself admiring above my other watches is the Diver. I think it is stunning and find myself fantasizing about a ceramic ROO...

I don't mean to announce the watch as I already did that. What I am trying to convey is that the Diver's incredible design, fit and finish has got me hooked on the Royal Oak line of watches. I never thought I would be so impressed. Yes, I always liked the RO and ROO, but after owning one for a short time I better understand the passion so many have for AP.

The design of a ROO is certainly iconic that makes it pop out from your GMT, plus the shinning polished SS bezel that is a real eye candy, enjoy your Diver!

I concur. The Diver is a fantastic watch. I have had it for a year and still love it as if I have bought it on the 1st day. Should add a ceramic ROO 44 to your collection.

Yes I love the brushed/polished SS bezel and that's why I can't go for the ceramic or FC over this.
