One holy grails vs 2 grails
Wanted some of your opinion especially Neil's
After acquiring my first AP the grey elephant I've been loving it soo much that I rarely wear my GMT II 2 tone which use to have a lot of wrist time now I'm graduating soon and I'll be getting one last watch before enter my next chapter. I've made up my mind that I want a rose gold watch to me nothing beats that. As much as I love the greytheme roo I do not want anywatch other watch that scratches this easily again. So even though I love the rg roc sooo much I wouldnt want a watch that i'll have to worry too much too much when wearing so my choices goes down to If I end up getting the rolex i'll trade it with my gmt 2 tone which will end left with a hulk, elephant, and gold rolex. If I go AP i will trade my AP and gmt 2 tone and left with a hulk - 26401or - corum bubble roulette and few other watches what would be your choices? Here is my elephant and hulk i really love the full rg daytona too but a polished bezel is the problem for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have no worries when I wear my 26401 around town. It is a great daily.

I'm biased to the 26401, but you can't go wrong with any of those choices.

Blue Sub for Me as it is a Classic and one that IMO would always be a keeper

RG 44 no doubt. I do love that particular Daytona with ceramic bezel though.

You state you're worried about scratches - do you realize that gold is SOFTER (and therefore scratches easier) than steel?!?!
I wouldn't recommend gold anything for you, sorry! |

Having owned ROOs I gather he is talking about the bezel, which is why he's looking at mostly ceramic bezel pieces

Hey Ken, I love most of those watches as you know, my top dogs would be the RG 44 and the Blue Subc, so I'd get the Hulk and 44 now and save towards the Blue Subc in the future for a dream pair. Two beauties and both with ceramic bezels so no major worries.

Rg44 of course. But for me a grail is unobtainable RM 027 for example, these are all very cool but not grails IMHO

The blue sub calls to me the most out of the three. They all look great though so best of luck with your choice.

Yep this pic is exactly why the sub is back in to consideration competing the AP Well, to be honest it use be unobtainable trust me. I'm currently 21 and never thought I'd even get a chance to own an AP anytime soon and never even consider an AP due to it's price tag. |

I really like the polished bezel Daytona compared to the ceramic. That would be my choice.
