Hi guys!

The AP itch is something that really is not easy to manage. I always had a laugh when some members of TRF claimed that once you buy one AP, you will not stop there... I was so wrong!

I have 3!!! and now I want to add a 4th to the collection (God willing).

Here are my choices. and based on my current collection, what do you guys advice?

I also heard that AP is working on an all in house chrono movement for its offshore line. Should I wait? then? What do you guys think.

Here is my current collection and the others are my options.

I love love love the panda dial chrono with ceramic bezel... BUT it seems clear from your current collection that the diver would be a great choice. Not interested in red gold maybe? I like to mix it up and have some variety.

Thanks for the post Tony. Yes, I was looking at this one. Or do you have something else in mind?

Once you add the rose gold into the mix, that becomes the front runner for me. The diver is awesome for any collection. Things to consider on the ceramic panda- it's 44mm isn't it, can your wrist handle it if it is? The last photo with the sub dials at 9,3 and 6 -is that the layout on the lady roo's- might be wrong i'm still in the early stages of learning on AP's. good luck with your decision.

Thanks Jim. I need to look into that rose gold. You might be right!

The Diver will fit perfectly into your well balanced collection.

h999r · 16 April 2013, 04:26 AM

TSW · 16 April 2013, 04:36 AM

Diver or classic RC would be my choice!

Submarino · 16 April 2013, 05:52 AM

A SS Diver for sure.

You have a very valid point there Yoda.

AK797 · 16 April 2013, 09:23 AM

Your 400 is 41mm and the ROC 39mm so I imagine 42mm would be the max size for your wrists. Unless they are 7.5 inches plus then the 44mm wearing like a 46mm will be too big for you. I would choose the 42mm RG RC or the Diver as both have different dial colours to what you have now.

And the last pic is the ladies.

Thanks AK. The diver is leading the pack, I am just not sure if I am ready for RG yet. I would have to try them on.... They are impressive though.

orangedial · 16 April 2013, 09:29 AM

I say either an SS Diver or a RG ROO!

Hi Wayne. Do u prefer the classic 42mm RG or the new 44mm RG?

Both are winners, Logan. I'd prefer the 44mm because of the ceramic bezel and the avant-garde appearance. However, the classic RGRC has more gold content because of the solid case back and the gold bezel underneath the rubber coating, all for a cheaper price than the 44mm. The choice is tough...

benlee · 16 April 2013, 11:29 AM

I would say the Diver. Probably the new Ceramic Diver?
