So there's a (fairly) recent LE model I've been lusting after since release, but couldn't justify the price. Especially when its SS counterpart is less than half the cost. However, the stars have aligned and I knew I had to pull the trigger.

Traveling a bit, but will post up a pic when I have in hand later this week. Until then, any guesses? Wanted to build some anticipation a la @VogelPhoenix and @MickeyD

I actually haven't even seen this one posted here, I'm feeling spicy right now

Following… but hope this doesn’t become a trend

Congrats in advance!

Congrats! One of the many Japanese PM RO/ROC special/limited editions seems the obvious choice, but l’m going with the LE WG Diver as an out-of-the-box option that fits all the criteria

Unlikely to be another "unreliable" chrono.

Clearwater called me on Friday to fix all the issues on my ROO43 (for the second time). They even sent me pics this time. Undergoing
QC right now to supposedly be delivered later this week. Fingers crossed

Congrats if it is the limited edition WG diver.

A side note, I visited AP to check the steel divers. And made a comment that it would be nice if there would be a model with ceramic bezel. To which the SA replied that it won't be a diver if it had ceramic bezel...

Sometimes the knowledge of their own product range, albeit discontinued, is surprisingly poor.

It is! Vogel guessed it, haha. Beyond excited, the ceramic bezel truly makes this one pop and I think the color scheme is amazing. Was difficult to find one pristine and at the price I wanted to be at, but it played out perfectly!


That’s surprising with the AP staff, honestly most the AP staff I’ve spoke with are much much better than say your run of the mill Rolex associate.
