"There can be only one..."
As the proud new owner of a new Sub LV I am aware of how iconic and popular the Sub range is.However it seems that there are as many schools of thought on which one is the "True classic" or "The one to have" as there are Omega special editionsSo I thought I'd see what you guys really thought about thyese watches and which one (lets assume you would have one of them, otherwise you'd not be taking part!) you'd go for and as important...WHY?The non date Sub?The 16610 date Sub?The 16600 Sea Dweller?The Sub LV?Is the non date to "Basic" for you?Is the Sub date to "Common"Is the SD too tool like and the date too hard to read?Is the LV too much of an aquired taste and too limiting with it's green?In the words of Highlander "There can be only one".if that were the case which one would it be for YOU?All your reasons would be valid i.e value/re-sale, design, wearability, legibility, reliability etc.....And of course....pics...pics....PICSTarty.

Question about various Royal Oaks......
Bear with me as I'm relatively new to the world of AP. I've been doing some research as of late and talked to one of the AD's from whom I bought my Panerai and Breitling from, and have learned about the extent to which AP is limiting production and distribution. Rolex and PP are starting to do the same, all of which will likely reinforce the already good values of the Rolex SS professional series (prices of second hand hulks have gone up in the last year), the Nautilus line, and of course Royal Oaks. I'm debating between a Royal Oak, Royal Oak offshore (less so), and the PP Nautilus 5726-- which I'm next in line from my AD when she gets another one at retail price. I know the 5711 and 5712 are out as they've got waitlists of 5 years (especially the 5711). My AD--like many other AD's -- lost their contract with AP, as AP continues to pull back production and distribution to AD's nationwide. I'm going to check out one of the boutiques in June and see what they have there, but I'v
