John, I think you want a Diver so here are a few pics to convince you of getting one. Taken during a wonderful trip to the Cayman Islands. You can get a BNIB or LNIB Diver from one of our trusted sellers in the range of $14.7-$13.7K USD. No need to spend $18.9K at full retail.

With that budget, surely a Diver and a 15300 would make be a better choice?

The prices your talking about, sounds pretty good - for a new one?! The seller in stockholm are asking around 16000k for a used AP scuba. Is the scuba more expensive then the orignal AP diver? best regards John |

John
You are asking the right questions, sounds like you have a budget in mind and to me you are entering the "fun part". Which is the hunt. Getting to go explore a bunch of watch brands knowing you might come home with something...Enjoy it. If you have a chance to try on all of the AP's mentioned here on this thread, that would make for a great trip, and I guarantee you will fall for one of them. If the price is right for the one you want - do it Having just received the diver myself - it's a wonderful watch...give it a shot - but I would also call it a "gateway" watch - you're probably gonna want another one. Have fun on your trip and let us know what happens! |

Well, diver is my first AP and within a month after i bought it, i am checking with AD on new 15400 now. Lol.
Daytona is nowhere near AP. Well, no point to get a gold daytona. You are better off with a ss daytona plus a diver with your budget. ss daytona is more versatile and liquid than gold daytona. |

I have some crappy iPhone pics I'll post. I've been meaning to take some nice ones with the DSLR, but have been busy. Funny thing is I almost went with a diver after reading your review, but felt a 15202 needs to be in the collection, and LB had one for sale that was just cherry. |

Some crappy iphone pics, but you'll get the idea. I need to take some quality ones with the DSLR. The subtleties of this watch are captivating. |

Great looking 15202... My RO has that beautiful blue dial too!
For the OP, take a trip to an AD and try them all on, and then decide. Either one you choose, you won't be sorry you chose AP! |
