Yes, I agree about that chapter ring, too. I think that's why the date window doesn't bother me. It's inside the chapter ring, so it moves it far enough away from the edge of the dial. I do like the larger AP logo as well as the absence of "Automatic". It seems to cut into the chapter ring a bit and as a result looks like it’s a part of the chapter. It makes the date look off center relative to the squares. Yeah, I see what you mean. Funny to me, this whole "date" thing. Omega managed to reposition the date on their new Seamaster 300M, so that the whole dial looks way more in proportion. I admit the date looks a bit "awkward" on the AP now, at second glance. Admittedly, the pervious model that Roger has does look more in proportion. Anyway, not to worry, seems like I might never even get to see one. The idea I get from all the forums, is that they are so popular, they are almost sold out everywhere. I might be in Toronto in the Spring, so might have a look there, but I don't hold much hope. Meanwhile, I saw this one the other day at the Zenith AD. It might be the closest I ever see to the AP Royal Oak. Titanium, and I was amazed how comfortable and well made the bracelet is: BTW, it is nice to see you back here, Pete. I hope you will check in more often! Cheers, Carl

I like the new chapter ring, wish the automatic was still there, and prefer the old markers. I do like the logo being a tad larger too, tough to choose but if I had to, the original.
