New to AP thoughts
I was in Vegas the past few days and I always make my rounds to some of the many watch stores at the various Hotels. One watch I have not seen in the flesh was Audemars Piguet. So we went to the Shops at Crystals in the Aria Hotel/Casino. Now I have wanted the new Ceramic Daytona 116500 but waiting to get one soon will be next to impossible. So I started looking at other brands and the AP 62320ST.00.1220ST.01 white dial caught my eye. It is one beautiful piece and I want to buy it. My questions to you all are;
What makes the AP worth almost double the price of the Daytona, both in stainless? Would you buy new from Boutique or from trusted seller? Because of the price is it a good everyday watch? SS flies under the radar, right now I have a TT DJII and a 16710 GMT II. Thanks for the help, I am new to AP and do not know a lot of the brand. I will definitely read up on it. I am looking at the chronograph model but the time/date model was nice too. They only had the white dial chrono, and the blue face non chrono model. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Personally I prefer the more tradition 3 hand models on AP. The dial is so beautiful especially the white one they the additional dials take away from it IMO

Davidsw has the white chrono stainless steel factory sealed for $19,500 that's the route I would go. Takuya had one black dial 41mm chrono new for around $18k.

Buy AP, don't think twice.
All of your other questions can be found via search here or Google. ROC is a great choice (check out the ROO's as well). Good luck and enjoy. |

Trusted seller for sure on this piece. Plenty of money to be saved. Use the funds towards the next one
As far as under the radar...people will notice it but they won't know what it is. Unless you work in an investment bank then they will |

Just bought this last weekend. Definitely worth it. Prefer the 15400. Get the blue dial only.

You can get a used ROC for 16k from a trusted seller on here. I would go that route. I just got my first AP and i got to tell you. You wouldn't understand why it cost twice as much as rolex until you own one.
I can't see myself getting another rolex in SS after getting my AP.

Go AP ... don't even think about it! The level of finishing and detail is on a different planet. The customer support, service, etc are the best in the industry and nothing beats wearing an AP.

I like the blue dial also. While at the AP Boutique she showed me the blue face non chronograph model and it was beautiful.
