Is it just me or has anyone else noticed almost every pic posted on the AP forum is either an AP steel Diver, an AP ROO Montauk or the AP ROO Rubberclad. Is that because they are the closest reps to gen or it's just a lot of people favourites or .......... ??

I hope they don't become the new rolex or hublot where its to the point every single time you see somebody wearing one you assume its a knock off. Looks like its well on the way to that thanks to all the celebs wearing fakes on facebook etc.

I think they are more popular with the hipsters. :D:

That's beautiful cybee, have you thought of getting double Ar on the sapphire as it would make an amazing transformation

Thanks shark, I've really enjoyed this watch. Yep I've thought about just havent got around to doing it. I'm anxious to get the Rose Gold model then maybe I will send them both out for a little AR work.

I'm seriously considering selling my Ap Diver to buy the Rg Ro, don't know what to do as I've had the diver for over a year and it still runs strong, but with the up and coming Tour Auto I need to have a 1-in-1 out now

A good AR can make a world of difference on the legibility of the dial, but I've tried to stay clear of the topside-AR as I think it becomes a scratch-magnet. Single-sided AR is the best compromise I think...

I like all my AP's. I rarely see people wearing them , and it's usually folks in my genre. I've yet to see a kid with one. I doubt many folks know what they are. There are great reps right now.

I know, yours is a classic piece that only a certain few go for... Nice. Nothing wrong with liking what's popular because I guess anything that looks good with appeal to the majority, it's just something I noticed that's all lol.

I'd trade my 3.5 swiss Diver over a 15202, 15300 or 15400 (in that order) any day!
It's just that those reps are not up-to-par yet.

Personally I like the 15202 and 14790 in gen forms more than the ROOs.
ROOs are a bit too rapper style for me.
But those rose gold ROOs are pretty nice I must admit.

As far as reps, that's totally different since thinner watches are not properly repped.
