That could make it even more amazing.
Kind of like an AP base. You know, if they also made it destro style, we could wear it on the left wrist and have easy access to the bezel crown. Hmmm...
Thanks for your kind words, John.
AP Diver - One year on the wrist
I will be commemorating several milestones in Aug 2015. My country (Singapore) will be observing 50 years of independence. My daughter will be celebrating her first birthday. And it will also be one year since I bought my AP Diver. It was my Dad who first...
A common life with a watch is the only way to be able to write about it.
This is why these " on the wrist " reviews are so interesting. Those who are thinking about getting one can refer to what you wrote, your feelings and thoughts. Well done, John. Thank you. Best, Nicolas
Excellent John. I'll argue the steel black dial Diver remains the best version yet.
Enthusiastic AP fans jump all over the ceramic models. I myself have shown a love for the tantalum and gold QEII. The forged carbon with ceramic bezel is a real looker. But none of them are a better execution of a "dive" watch than the model you have. And...

I once hit a boat ladder while diving with a PAM87.
That is a steel monster of course. The case was fine as I hit the top of the strap between the lugs as best I could tell. But I would never want to whack an all ceramic watch on a boat ladder or anything else. Even though most AP owners won't be diving wi...
Good story behind your watch
...and concisely written wrist review that tells us a lot. When the Diver first came out, I fell for it immediately. Now some years have passed, and I continue to think that this specific version of the AP Diver remains the most beautiful Diver from any b...
Great sharing my fellow Singaporean :)
Like you I am excited over our nation\'s 50th anniversary since our independence! Your AP diver is a great watch! Yes the price is high but the joy is priceless. Your purchase journey is also a fun and interesting one with the anniversary date as the purc...
great story, it was meant to be
Congrats on the one year anniversary of your AP Diver. Cool that it has the sentimental value associated with it. Regards, ED-209
