I have been boarder line obsessive at viewing the posted pictures of the AP ROO Diver and to repeat what everyone has said, no matter how amazing the picture is that you are viewing , there is not a single picture that does the finishing of AP any justice. Buyers be ware, if you get a chance to see an AP finish in person, you WILL be buying that time piece!!!!

Congrats it looks great. About the pics not doing the watch justice I find that it's the case for the majority of watches, whatever the brand, except some for which it's the contrary. Didn't see the SS diver in real but saw the ceramic, in white unfortunately but I found the finishing and work on the ceramic just superb, but for my 6.9 wrists I found it too big looking on me, at the same time when you wear a 5712 24/7 and you try a diver on of course you have the impression of having a huge piece on the wrist, same thing went the other way when I got my 5712, the first 2 days I was afraid if I was going to adapt to the "small" size, the ultra thin case and bracelet and the ultra light weight, I used to be the kind of guy who liked to "feel" the weight of a watch, since my Patek the less I feel a watch the better it is, but my tastes can always evolve again, who knows

Congrats! I recently sold my Diver to David so I'm curious if this one is it. It was a great watch and I miss it immensely! I sold the watch but kept the bracelet I had because in pretty positive I'll add another (maybe new version with see through Caseback) in the near future

If it was yours, then it was kept in immaculate condition.
