B.R.M V6-Sport Automatic

Seiko SUS perpetual from the 90s....
This great watch needed wrist time. From the Seiko SUS (Strong and Simple) series started in 1992 and ending 2000, this is the 200M diver style perpetual but in keeping with the SUS philosophy of strong and simple/clean design. There were several calibers used in this series from the autos 4S14 and 4S12GMT to mostly quartz models. Sized for the Japanese wrist most watches were small midsized to to around 38mm wide. The most characteristic features of the SUSs were the squared off hands and the date at the 4 position. Some models used the arrow style hour hand and others the mercedes style....

ROO Elephant strap question
I have finally decided to jump into the world of AP and have decided on the AP ROO Elephant. I have a strap size question. I have a 7 1/4 wrist and want to also order the grey strap to go along with the hornback that comes with it and was wondering if I need to order the xtra small rubber strap for a tight fit? I am not a big fan of my rubber / leather straps being lose or should the standard size fit me right out of the box? also wondering if anyone knows how much the rubber strap retails for so I have an idea of what I am looking at.thanks again for the help

Enjoy It!
I would first like to thank all of the AP enablers (Thomas, Dalip, Mike, Adam, Dan and the list goes on) for helping me decide to part with my funds for my first AP (all of your pics were killing me). Of course as always, I went to my ¡®local AD¡¯ (DavidSW) to find my new AP. Having owned Rolex for 20 years (lost count of how many have flipped, kept...well you know), last few years I really embraced Panerai (which I love), but something was always missing. I wanted to add something new to the collection, but wasn¡¯t sure just what. As usual, headed to TRF and let the madness begin on convincing myself on what I wanted . AP has been on my mind for quite a while and seems to be the next logical step for me. I have always been a believer in you get what you pay for. Thought I would start out with something ¡®simple¡¯, and see where the AP bug takes me . Really amazed by the quality, history and finish of AP. Ladies and gentlemen, now without further delay, I present my AP ROO Diver--(a

Incoming! It's good to be back...
Hi All,Before we moved from SF to Boston I downsized a bit and sold two Sea Dwellers leaving me with a 114060 as my only watch. After a while I realized that the smaller case was a better fit for me so I sold off the 114060 as well, leaving me without a watch. I decided the 14060 would be a perfect mix of the Sub's thickness and the vintage lugs of the 16600.It took a while, but I finally found the one I was looking for. A really nice 2-liner in great shape from 2001. The previous owner must have taken really good care of it as it almost looks new.Anyway, it's great to be back with a Rolex daily driver. It sounds weird but I really missed having one. This is something that will never happen again!Ben

5711 and its brothers .... 116500 and its grand parents.... 15202 now too....
These watches.... Are off the hook right nowDon't get me wrong, I love them all... MassivelyBut I'm wondering... In 2012 I saw and tried on 5711 in ADs while deciding if I like it enoughIn 2014 I tried on 116520, similarlyIn 2015 I bought a 16520 for ¡ê8,000, which was pricey just 2 years ago!Obviously they've all gone up a bit in rrp. And been currency adjusted due brexit etcBut some are nearly 100% over retail nowHas this been seen before? I heard, before I arrived on scene that the original 116520 went few grand over, but is the current situation unprecedented or cyclic?
