Nice! How does it wear on your wrist? I have similar sized asian wrists as yours and im planning to get a SS Diver.
I have removed 6 links and the watch sits nice and tight on my wrist. I have tried the Diver before and I would say it is too big. It is bulging big and it makes my wrist looks even smaller. My favourite is however the new 2014 AP ROO. See pics above.

The ROO black theme fits better than the Diver? I thought it was the same size if not a little bigger than the Diver.

Both are 42mm and Diver is probably slightly thinner. However, for me, diver's wrist presence is massive. On my wrist, the eyes are easily drawn to how the diver's lugs overflow and hang outside my wrist. When the ROO is on my wrist, the focus is on the watch face. Maybe you shld try both to see for yourself

Thanks for the info! Im probably gonna go for the Diver though. The ROO doesn't look gen-like enough for me without any mods.

Lol.
No, it is a Chinese dim sum "item" . It is a sort of deep fried pumpkin dessert.

Something similar but looks like a mini dumpling. More importantly, it tastes damn good.

Basically, the outer is made of flour and shaped like a pumpkin. Inside, they stuffed it with honey coated/caramelised diced meats. They then deep fried this. Ping me if you ever come to South East Asia, I will host you to one of these dim sum meals. Eating it is better and easier than describing it. :)
