My New AP Royal Oak Diver! - Does Audemars Even Make A Real Dive Watch??

It's been a while since I have updated my collection but when the opportunity came up to pick up this AP Diver I jumped on it. The last time that I owned one of these watches was back 6-7 years ago. It was a model from Audemars Piguet that I enjoyed because it had the Royal Oak essence but still was more on the wearable tougher side. It's just a model that I like to have more as a daily wearer. Something that I can really sort of beat up and not cry about. I also like that its one of the few AP's thatI can wet and not worry. Not that Audemars is prone to water damage or anything but it's just not a Rolex Submariner. One of the biggest challenges on getting this watch back was finding one. Back when I sold mines, they would pop up very often preowned for sale. After I sold mines I never found one again. They became very few and far apart. Almost went from seeing 2-3 a month to seeing 2-3 a year. This sort of thing happens all the time when watch collecting, you think you are going to have a chance to find another and then it doesn't happen. The price usually changes as well, when I got my first one I payed $10K. Now this time around it cost me $13,500 on a wholesale level. Makes sense considering most watch prices have gone up.
One thing that I realized when I put the watch on is how it is a lot bigger than I remembered. Maybe its because I have been used to wearing Daytonas and Nautilus but initially I said wow. It was a lot bigger than i remembered. Overall I think its a great watch to just wear and get plenty of use out of. This time around I may think twice before selling it.
