Hey guys,

I’m looking for a fun summer/pool option. I’m torn between the black AP diver (15710) or the Titanium Chrono (26480TI).
I’m curious to know opinions.

AshAP · 4 January 2021, 05:29 PM

You can’t go wrong with either of these Offshores. Given the choice I’d go with the blue dial chronograph because my preference is watches with a blue dial and I also prefer the sportier appearance of a chronograph. I’ve owned the Diver before and it’s a great watch, either option will have strong resale option too.

Titanium chrono for me. Very light weight vs the imo top heavy diver.
You should try both before buying.

Titanium for me

uscmatt99 · 5 January 2021, 01:12 AM

Titanium chrono is an amazing piece, it would be my choice.

JorgeCCW · 5 January 2021, 02:20 AM

I would go for ceramic bezel reference instead

watchtabs · 5 January 2021, 09:00 AM

Interesting, I imagined most would go Diver.

I’m leaning toward the Chrono too. The thinner case is interesting.

I have the 15710 and very comfortable and use it as my pool and lake /boating watch.

MrEleven · 5 January 2021, 06:33 PM

15710 for me, i have mine on the bracelet and just think its the coolest divers watch out there by any brand. Thats why i picked one up.

I went through a similar through process last year. I had the 15710 and was considering selling to make way for a 26480. After much consideration, I decided to get the 26480. However, I couldn't bring myself to sell the 15710, although if I had to, I would have done.

So I have both, love both, and my preference is the 26480, but it's only a slight preference.

I just bought the 26480 so that pretty well covers my choice.

I’d vote Blue Titanium. Looks great and will wear awesome with the light weight.

Had a diver for long time, loved it but grew tired of it.
