AP 101 - Help

[dmitrii_]

Hi All,

I'm from the Rolex Forum (couple floors up)

Pretty well versed in Rolex watches at this point but know next to nothing about AP.

Find AP references to be extremely pretty but confusing because of all the different models.

I like the RO but am never clear about all the different sizes.

Can anyone attempt to explain the lineup to me? For instance, what is the most popular or best selling AP watch? What is the submariner equivalent (in terms of popularity and recognition)?

I suggest you spend some time on AP's website. There is a lot of info and pictures to help.

Essentially the sub equivalent, in terms of iconic,would be the Royal Oak, considered by most to be the first luxury sports watch, and priced as such.

However, now there exists several versions of the royal oak, truest to form being the 15202.

The AP royal oak offshore diver is also a sort of modern classic that may suit your needs for a more robust, sporty time piece. Good luck, happy hunting.
