This or That?

Another one of those, "which would you pick?" threads, that I know are pretty much worthless, but wanted to see what you prefer.

My collection consists of SS Sub Date, SS White Dial Daytona, PAM 292, and AP ROO SS Themes Black Dial. I'm between these two as my next pice. Thanks for your thoughts guys.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15300 Slate Blue Dial.

Easy for me to go AP, because I'm just not that into the pilot watch design.

Go for the BP for diversity as you have an AP already.

TOTALLY different pieces
but if I was forced to pick between the two Id have to see what else I have in my collection and go from there.

I see you have a ROO but this RO and the ROO are both very unique so I do not see overlap there.

I would find it VERY hard to find a reason for me to pick the BP over the RO myself.
Id rather a black chrono RO (or perhaps white since you have a dark ROO) or if I was going just for time and date like you have listed I think Id go with a VC Overseas, I like the bracelet a little more myself especially since you already have the ROO on the AP bracelet
