IWC Portoghese Ripetizione Minuti Oro Rosa

New Watch in the House!!
Well, a few weeks old - but this is the first chance I had to get a few pictures of it.. But before I raise the red curtain, how about some guesses.. I bet it'll take more than a couple guesses. A hint...

Incoming: Black and orange diver (finally!)
I've wanted a black and orange diver for quite a while. I almost pulled the trigger on a Monster and then on a Tissot 1000 (which wasn't black and orange), but thought I'd go with something a bit different. I'm a big Victorinox guy (this is my 3rd) andwhile it might not be able to compare to the bigger boys (Omega and its ilk), I think it's the best mid-range (The watch is 43mm, but feels so much lighter than my Victorinox Valjoux (which stands to reason, I guess). It's not hefty, but feels very solid.Sorry about my appalling photo skills...As you can see, it's an automatic. The movement is an ETA 2892-A2:I love the gun metal/orange look:I'm a sucker for rubber watch bands. I think I'm up to 5 watches with them (all different colors). Here's a quick pic of my rubber band collection, left to right Certina C-Sport (this was new last month), Getat 44mm, Victorinox 500 Dive Master, Pirelli, Victorinox Groundforce. I haven't changed the times on the autos, as you can see :Thanks for looking

In Da CLUB
Well, that's it, officially in the club, just got the diver at the AP private showroom, was given a very cool travel pouch for it, nicer than the Patek travel pouch.The watch is awesome, of course I am a little in shock size size compared with my 5712, but I am sure I will get used to it, anyways I am leaving on holidays in 4 days and am taking only the diver, the Patek stays at home¡­Here's a few pics, again sorry for the crappy quality, I have an excellent camera but it's not digital¡­1a8bea10fda12d46622d7053b40d84c25ed7b31d25525bebb39d5e8e29075f49.jpg4deae9648feeda19a2c18728af25041fb89b6ef57b46ffaf1b91bbe79e3ed945.jpg7e676b1f3dd6ba7dc67834be145f0356fb866d0ba67301be3b4289b720890772.jpg29db96e180d47e9c013fa79f6e7b02c8918a4c8b9d94add6189973fb7a3b7388.jpg6071662c5205b9544a13e159d2b860a2c422f74a5a8da5783e4622b7eb579d03.jpg

Sub C and Royal Oak
I wanted to get some feedback from other members:I own a Sub C that I wear daily, and it's my only nice watch. I have some extra cash and I'm looking at either adding a PAM, or selling/trading the sub for a AP Royal Oak (love this watch). Because I'm not really interested in starting a real collection, and I like the idea of having one really good piece that I can wear daily and for years and years¡­ I'm considering the upgrade to the Royal Oak.I realize the AP is in a different horological category than the sub. I love the look and feel of the AP on my wrist (only at an AD so far however), and I could definitely see wearing a 15400 or 15300 daily for a long time. I can see it replacing the sub on my wrist.My question is about the feasibility of the AP as a daily wearer. In terms of robustness, water-resistance, fragility. I know it's not as bulletproof as a sub, but it looks and feels like I wouldn't have any problems wearing it the same way. I work at a desk, I don't dive, and I hardl
