AP v Rolex

[jackjack]

I would go for the AP 15400 or 15202.

15400 or 15202 is just nice for my wrist.
40mm rolex are just great too.


At the end buy what u are comfortable with between the 116613 and 15400, I'll go with 15400.

can i throw in a spanner and suggest: AP vs Hublot?

choice would definitely be AP... if comparing AP and Hublot..

I would choose the tt sub anytime cos it's a watch you can wear for all occasions... very versatile and classic... i find ap has lot of variants that look the same like datejusts... and ap is more ex... rolex is more bang for buck... holds value well and won't go out of fashion even after many years down the road.. i don't agree that tt subs look ah pek.. cos when women wear tt rolexes do they look like ah sor...?? And even if arnie or any other man in their late 60's wear an ap does that mean they make you look any younger...?? I don't think so... first of all it depends on for what occasions you wanna wear the watches... both brands are great for sporty and macho looks.. but neither of these brands will look ok in a suit.. only a very simple looking pp or vc or a lange & sohne or jlc on a leather strap is what i consider as a dress watch that looks great with a suit...

i think anyone would wear this happily for a long time as their "only" watch... including with a suit...

That day date in a strap is definitely a dress watch... but i find that ap to be quite flashy... a gd dress watch shoud be very discreet and thin...

thin they might be, but i think there is nothing discrete about pp, vc, als and jlc dress watches.

Definitely Rolex.

For myself, I don't quite like octagonal shape watches. It's either round or rectangular. Secondly, Rolex holds value better and has more brand recognition. No problem in trading or selling years down the road.

the RO is something I would love to own, but pocket wise will go for the Rolex.

the RO's price is quite near a ROO already...

Be it AP or Rolex, you must be happy when wearing it yourself. After wearing it yourself, you will more or less know which one you like most, giving that both are very nice watches...
