Thanks Everett. There are some awesome pictures in the AP site that sold me on the AP. You guys are a wealth of knowledge. Feel free everyone to post pictures of your beauties whether recent purchases or not and re-wet all of our appetites.

Big congrats! Diver is a great piece.

Once you take the plastic stickers off, you'll love it even more as the light's reflection on different surfaces is pretty awesome.

I knew you guys wouldn't miss the presence of the plastic. It took me 10 minutes to put it on. I was within hours of purchasing the D-blue DSSD when I read the post asking votes between the two. That' led to reading excellent reviews on the AP diver. I'm very happy with my decision. Trying to post another picture while driving which is not a great idea. Will post p I get to my destination.

Great choice! Although the DSSD D-Blue is a great piece, I haven't missed mine one second since getting the AP Diver. And by adding the SS Bracelet you will have almost two completely different watches.

Cheers!

Great photos. The blue-D looks great on the DSSD. It's definately not subtle. Which do you wear more and does the type of occasion affect which one you choose. How about anyone else who has both what is your experience?

I wear both about equally - these are my two favorites in my entire collection. I do favor sports watches and large watches (have 7.5" wrist), and also these are my most two recent acquisitions so probably that has a lot to do with why i wear them so often, but i really love both pieces and they are both different enough to make for great diversity and variety - SS bracelet and blue gradient dial and black dial with black rubber strap - I enjoy them both very much. I rarely have to dress up or worry about wearing a suit and fitting a watch under the cuff, etc, but if I want to wear a little more dressy, I have my AP 15400 which still has a sporty element but is quite a bit thinner

Thanks for that description Tom the DSSD Blue is impressive and the perfect watch for a suit. Especially if it's a wet suit.
