15202 rose gold if you want to put some extra cash, even though I prefer the SS, as for chrono, have owned a few, still have a Daytona 116515, never found a function so useless

Firstly, chronos are not a useless function. There are certainly other functions that are rarely used, but not a chrono. I use the chrono function daily. If you cook, as I do, it's invaluable. Beyond that I like the look of a chrono. Go with the "one" that works for you after trying a few on.

If you want rose gold, then the 44mm RG is the one to get.

Yep, as long as you can pull off the 44mm + RG weight (it's a beast on the wrist) - with $50k I'd get the RG 42mm you reference + a black dial 15400 (can be done using TRF sellers).

I finally tried on the RG 42 last week and absolutely love it - even better than the RGRC.

I think most of don't like the mustard dial very much, as black, white or grey is prefered. Also I love a gold bezel but on the thicker ROO it is hard to protect and it will mark up quickly so I prefer the thinner ROC.

Have you considered a SE such as the Ti Schumi which is within your budget or do you prefer gold?
The finish on the ceramic bez is so much nicer than on the RG 44mm ROO IMO

I actually got it from one of our trusted sellers, he got it from an AD. It came sealed in a box. Any AD should be able to get it for you.

Thanks for your information.. Anyway, In your experience .. Where is the best place to buy new AP? By AP Store or AD? And if you dont mind, can you tell what is the difference between buy from AD and Ap Store

Thank you very much for your information
