Hey all! So I got the urge to splurge again. I'm having trouble choosing the next piece. As far as PM watches are concerned I have two currently (116618blackdial), (5711/01R)looking to add a third and complete the trifecta here's the contenders:

Have you seen this one instead? The sundust dial is SUPER nice and looks way better with the everose gold.

Anything but the AP's. DD is right on! Next the PP... then GMT.

Why is that?

OP, Ken is spot on, the 15400 on bracelet is amazing. Since you already have two on bracelet, I'm gonna say the ROO on leather.

All 3 are beautiful though, tough choice, but good one to have.

Well, to be fair the non chrono isn't bad but the chrono is just too busy, verging on gaudy. But AP in general, the screws on the bezel cheapen the look, IMO. Too industrial looking for that price point.

Rg olive dial? Anyways, I prefer DD of that lot. Its so great and more worry free than the APs. Your Patek is awesome somthe full gold AP doesn't make sense to me.

HL65 · 4 August 2017, 09:32 AM

In this forum DD40 but if you post in AP forum 15400OR. I think you go DD40 since you posted thread here in Rolex forum. For me I'd gladly take the 15400or over the other two as there is nothing like a RG AP bracelet. I also own 15202or and DD40 so have good perspective on both.

I agree with Ken, I have a gold sub, gold Nautilus and also the gold AP 44, but here I'd go for the gold 15400. Then you have three of the best gold bracelets around.

I completely agree AP is a great choice. I was all Rolex until I got my Royal Oak. I was shocked by how awesome it is.

Probably not going to be very popular in the Rolex section but I would pick the AP 15400R hands down.

BNA/LION · 4 August 2017, 09:49 AM

Daydate40 rose gold white roman dial

ras47 · 4 August 2017, 09:50 AM

I detest AP so it's a no-brainer for me. Go for the DD.

rw2008 · 4 August 2017, 10:20 AM

I'd go DD, simply because I think the RO is pretty similar to the PP.

If it were me, I'd flip the YG GMT for a BLRO and opt for a YG DD40 instead of the RG DD40. Then, you'd have all three colors of gold.

faz · 4 August 2017, 10:26 AM

Get a dressy DD on bracelet. Or go with something non bracelet like:

Wow...any of those would be an amazing add to your already stellar collection. I actually think I'd go with the AP chronograph to bring in a little variety...strap vs. bracelet. The DD40 I love, but...it seems a little superfluous with the PP.

Juantxo · 4 August 2017, 10:47 AM

None. All gaudy and tasteless. Sorry.

So tell us how you really feel. OP, I'm gonna vote DD on this one.

brmeyers · 4 August 2017, 12:15 PM

I would go DD40 by a hair, then 15400OR
I am currently pondering a DD myself...
I like the 26470OR also, but a little too top heavy for my taste.
15400OR much more balanced feel for an AP choice.

DCheeta · 4 August 2017, 12:30 PM

You have a sport Rolex, you have a Patek...it's time to add an AP to the golden family. Since you have the Nautilus, I'm going to say get the Offshore, it'll add a little more variety.
