Sometimes you actually really like the “hype”….
Dec 13, 2021,17:24 PM
Green dials may be en vogue, but this is not the first green dial AP diver, and it’s not my first AP, but it’s a really fun, well executed clunk of a sports watch.
My first AP was a white diver. I ended up selling it for an Offshore chrono. All the while, I was aware of the elusive khaki 15710ST… Then, when the new 2021 Divers came out, I was on the hunt. As luck would have it, Christmas came early, and this arrived in my doorstep this past weekend.

Been a tech diver for about 15 years... I'm headed on a cave diving trip in a few months and am tempted to have a photographer friend shoot it.
Superb

Fashion or trends, it is a fabulous AP. My favorite Oak by far. And next the 11:59 Burgundy and blue.
Thank you!

You know, I typically aim at more complicated/interesting pieces, but I the last time I had an AP was before I traded up for my EL2. It's nice to have an AP again.
That looks great!!

AP just put a strap configurator on their website. I wonder how that watch looks with the various leather options available. If anyone has live pics I’d love to see them.
Will explore soon...

I have an older 42mm Offshore bracelet that I'd really like to fit. I'll give AP Clearwater a call this week to verify if the quick release plots can be removed to accept the old style bracelet. Otherwise, I believe a quick release bracelet is available. ...

Envious! Wanted this one but the boutique offered me the 26238TI, which I love but I still want a Diver! Hopefully in grey! Beautiful piece mate!
Thank you!

I would have been really conflicted with that choice. The new Offshores with the in-house fly back are very cool. Had I been in your shoes, I may have went for it.
The flyback is great

and all but I just love the look and feel of the diver! Hopefully I can get a diver next. Again, amazing piece and green is just such a great colour for watches, especially Audemars Piguet
