Incoming!! Diver

Hello and good day to all my fellow watch enthusiast out there. Today I present to you my new baby. After much thought and a lot of back and forth in my mind I traded up and sealed the deal a Pre-loved AP Diver 15703ST. I am still getting used to the size and all but overall I love this amazing piece of art. It's my first AP so in sure all the excitement and feeling like a kid at the candy store was something you all experienced. Thank you
Just a heads up. The iPhone 6 Plus takes great photos but it is big so it's hard to hold steady and take the shot. Some might be fuzzy so I shook on all of them.

Thanks. It's a whole different feeling wearing an AP. they definitely wear differently then a Rolex especially the ROO line up. It's really beefy and has some weight to it. I was going to jump the gun and order the stainless bracelet but I might need to wear it on rubber for a while before adding more heft to it.

Exactly what you said. I've been having that debate with myself since I started wearing my diver. Also, the AP bracelet has absolutely no adjustment. Which is a no-no in my opinion. I love the diver on the awesome AP rubber strap.

I didn't know that it had no adjustment. Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure they have to have the short version like on the rubber strap

There's no micro-adjustment, but you get the right fit adding or removing the standard or one and a half links.

I'd suggest you to get an XS rubber strap, it seems a little bit large on your wrist ;-)

Definitely decided to get the XS rubber strap I just haven't placed the order. I hope it makes a significant different on the way it feels on my wrist. I almost didn't wear it today but I've been waiting so long that I decided I didn't care for now. But I am definitely ordering it after having it on for a whole day

Na I didn't get it in Dallas. To summarize as short as I can hehe, I've been dealing with this guy for about 4-5 years now. I've purchased all my other pieces with him. I sold a Breitling Chronomat 44 AB011012/B956 to a co worker who had been talking about Breitling since I met him and he finally pulled the trigger and bought mine luckily for me :) I hadn't worn it in about a year and I tried to see if my dad would wear it but he didn't like it too much and then I traded a Sub ref16610 that hadn't seen any wrist time since the purchase of my SubC. Long story short, wife wouldn't justify just buying one if I had watches that didn't get any wrist time so she gave me an ultimatum. lol gotta love her for that. It ended being my 4 yr anniversary gift from her kind of. I guess her giving me the green light was the gift because I just sold a piece, used that cash and traded another and I came a little out of pocket but all in all the wife was happy and I was definitely happy.

It's a great watch, I have been waring mine for the last two weeks while vacationing in Miami with the family and it is very comfy. No regrets at all on this sport watch.

As the day has gone by I have gotten some what used to it but I'm definitely ordering the XS strap.
