It definitely does, or maybe just not as "sunk" into the case as the older diver.

Standard Diver's crown is rubber and as a result the chamfered side gets compressed down into the case as you screw it down. This new chrono Diver's crown is ceramic, hence no compression. Maybe this is the pictorial difference we are perceiving.

Exactly the same. The ceramic makes it look bigger.

perhaps the angles of the pic might have something to do with it?

I looked at the ceramic diver but perhaps the contrast in color of the steel case to the crown may also make it appear a little different...

I was looking at the articles that have been posted that showed some wrist shots --- a couple of different angles also made it look larger than the crown...interesting though...

AP ROO QEII 2016 Ltd EDN

Hi All, on one of the watch forum sites the price list of all AP SIHH models was posted. I can't find it now so I can only speculate there was a request to pull it down.

In any case the thing that caught my eye was the price of the ROO QE2 Ltd Edition.

Given the event is in April I Guess this makes sense. Does anyone have any visability into what this watch looks like?

Thx.

Hi Edo - thanks for the picture :)

While the previous QEII tended to look fairly classy this one doesn't really seem to fit in with the last 2 models.
