I'd go 116619 between those choices.



Now make the ROO RG and that's a different story!

Forgive me, but I just don't get AP. They look "toyish". Apologies in advance.

Have you handled one? It might change your mind. It did so with me.

I think you need to consider wrist size on this one.

I'd probably go sub though.

Sub for me... There are some AP references which I would choose over the sub, but the one you pictured is not one of them.

Both are great, there is no loser in this battle.

WG vs SS?

You need to be comparing WG to AP RG!

Between those two, the sub is an easy win for me. It might be harder if you were considering the ROC 26320.

Those two? Sub.

Blue dial ROC and WG Sub? Probably the AP.

WG sub, of course. I love the weight. My SS Rolexes feel like toys now.

Only ap that has ever spoken to me is the 15202. I feel the ROO line is a bit trendy while the WG sub is more classic... Just my opinion

Not a huge fan of either especially any of the RO range great movement but almost hate the style, so for that reason choose the sub.

I'd go sub, just because I don't love the AP's. I need to see and handle one up close to be sure, but from all I've seen, they just don't do it for me.

Plus, look at that blue dial and ceramic insert..... SWEET!!!!

Any Sub beats almost any other watch, in my biased but unassailable opinion

WG Sub (or BLRO, which isn't an option on the poll but also one to consider)

I love the Sub in all its various metals. The WG Sub would be extra special. The APs are certainly extremely well made, but after trying one on I found the robust and durable Rolex more to my taste.

Like many people here, I never really understood all the hype around a solid gold watch until I got one. It really is amazing. I just don't know how to put the feelings into words. You just have to wear one and see for yourself. I am soooo glad Dr. Tom is such an enabler. I also hate that Dr. Tom is such an enabler. Saving for a Platona

WG Sub = Deuces on a Land Rover Defender

Excess that adds nothing to the functionality of the watch. For the price difference add something like a GMT in ss.

The latest ROO's are worth the investment with in-house movements.
