+1 of the IWC nod, perhaps a bit TOO similar though

on wait boursachi, it's u that started the 18k mess here... LOL!
LOL sorry guilty as charged, i was just wishfully thinking because my guy can get me a diver for 14k so i just made the jump and figured how can they price it competitively within the RO and ROO chrono lines love the watch still but at that price it is an easy decision for me: BB
you ever owned a BB, wanna share thoughts and experiences?

love those watch forums, but HATE their forum layout i just did "flat view" on TZ so it's better now but still, damn, so hard to navigate and not "fun"

I agree watchprosite is so annoying with their blogs, forum, and review, etc all in one page. I know you can tweak some things in the control panel, but still very busy. I only view any forum I frequent in flat view.

i was just kidding.

no BB for me. many friends have it. i don't particular like it for the following reason:
1. the yellow was too much for me. i picked up the Jarno Trulli instead which i love the color combo much more
2. the yellow stitching on the strap would get dirty easy
3. although i love the hornback, i can never find it comfortable fitting my wrist as it's very hard
4. BB is everywhere. seriously every watch shop i go that carries AP have a BB in stock

i like the new diver for its simplicity. just right amount of yellow to overkill. gotta wait to try it on.

THANK YOU for that, yes i remember your JT and i must say it is an excellent and fine choice. i tried it and loved the Ti pushers, really did a job on the contrast to make up for the brushed/polish finishes of the ss/ss again its LE's pricing kills it for me, and design-wise i could use arabic numerals (love those + roman in a watch) and i wondered how different the whole watch would've been if the chrono subs weren't white. can't imagine a colour that is possibly more 'fitting', but i am dying to see an example
+1 on the hornback, +1 on the strap of the BB which tbh i think doesn't suit it 100%. dude it's creepy you mention that because i spent all last night browsing/bookmarking apbands
as for the last point, totally respect that but i cannot begin to explain how it is NOT the case whatsoever over here (gulf as a whole not just kuwait)

just the singapore f1 strap and the original hornback, i was very specific and adamant i wanted the original; but after seeing this i think it's great for less than half the price - but i have no idea if it has the red underhide

*flame suit on* how about this for the summer? i could jetski the hell out of it
