hi there catnip,

I have tried the entire of the latest range of Rolex Watches (except for the sky dweller and DJ which i don't care about) and i personally found the proportions DSDD too large for me...and this is coming from a Panerai owner... the escape valve and overtly protruding flat sapphire also just looks rather daft to me.. yes i know these are fundamental for the DSSD to reach teh great depths it is capable of, but the submariners are still my preferred of the Rolex diving range. Admittedly these preferences are mostly due to cosmetic reasons...I prefer the no dates because i prefer non cyclops magnifiers (yes i know the cyclops of the date-sub can be removed easily but i would never dare do that to any factory timepiece). My reasoning for choosing a vintage subbie is because i feel that the piece has evolved very little over the course of half a decade, hence it still looks relevant today. I personally love the challenge of looking for a full set, the tuna can bracelet that will still actually snap in place, decent condition hour and minute hands, etc... Vintage is new territory for me hence its i find it interesting, plus it would make a better story to tell my boys over our weekend piss ups

ack! what a long reply for a sunday morning...

Congrats and wear it in good health
Ps: so.. Whats the next target?

Anyone got experience with MontBlanc Timewalker GMT can share his experience? Am thinking of getting it in next coming weeks but want to be sure it's worth the money. Price around RM8k after discount.

Other brands to consider would be Baume&Mercier or Longines.

thank all for the good wishes... I really like the ap 15400 with blue dial... Although I also like Bro yonggoh ultra thin jumbo. These two really appeal to me.

not into montblanc but with 8k n maybe some topup u can get a longines mastercollection
wah, so fast lookking for ap jumbo la

Overtly protruding flat sapphire... DeepSea Challenge? I wish I had the chance to examine this monster.

also do consider the 15300 which only just been discontinued...
its the inbetweener of the 15202 and 15400 

im sure there might be a couple lingering around in some shops and still possible to find mint pre-owned ones...

ah yea i downloaded the vid from youtube of this....
what a great mechanical feat...

too bad this will never see the light of day

yeah i'm also looking at the 15300, from my source the price difference between the 15300 and 15400 is 10k. quite substantial if you ask me. the things about the 15400 i favor more than the 15300 is the placement of the ap logo, and the color of the date matches the dial color. According to my source he can still source brand new 15300 for me but for how much longer, he can't be sure, since its discontinued.

Agreed with you, prefer the AP at 6 o'clock and matching date wheel. Not to mention the new clasp as well.
But I do like the 39mm size on 15300 more.

bro your eyeing ap as your next target as well? 

guys, if i am going to England, which watch I should take a look for yea? Let's say within the range of Rm300 or Euro pounds 60-70?

London? Like that must go buy CWC di. It's not GBP60-70 though
