Ready to buy my first ap
I am after a ap diver leaning toward to display back version but would maybe go for the older model. Noticed a few pre owned ones online seen a 2016 older version without display back for £10.5k and a 2015 model but with the display back for £13k are these good prices ? I dont know the market at all for pre owned ap

Go for a displayback only and know exactly how the mvmnt looks, and then check prices on chrono24 for an average price, anything much lower avoid as many fakes and stolen watches out there. Buy the Seller most of all and buy it in person, preferably at their store.

Prices you will have to research, but if you can afford new then I'd buy new, the AP market is strong on resale now, in the past it was not at all for Divers.

Pricing seems about right for secondary / grey.
The display back (15710) is great. The primary difference is the dial is stamped on this one vs. a turned dial on the 15703 which reportedly gives more of a ‘wet’ look. That said I’m fully happy with the dial finish on the 15710 - the only missing out is on the AP turned dial USP as it’s really something special which they do. It’s an amazing watch and I haven’t found an occasion yet where it doesn’t work for me.

Congrats and I’d definitely spring for the one with display back.. AP movement is meant to be seen

So i am now ready to buy a ap diver hopefully today. Ive decided to buy new and just wanted to ask, ive seen a few i am going to call this morning.
What sort of discount should i push for ? Ideally i would love 20% off but not sure if this is realistic? Place i was talking to last week offer the watch just over 10% in a email so think if i call this morning ready to pay over the phone hes going to maybe do better ? |

10% can’t be considered bad in the current climate. Maybe ask for 15% and be happy to split the difference.
Congratulations in advance !

15703 from trusted seller so you don't have to worry about fakes. Prefer the dial to what is on the 15710.
