Unless it is discontinued Rolex 16610LV/16610 or 16600 SD, I usually prefer AP over Rolex, but the blue white gold Sub gets my vote this time. It is a stunning watch. I love the heft and the pop factor. It is a fantastic watch.

Both are clearly fantastic watches but for me I just find the AP ROO too big .....simple as that ......

I love the design of the ROO (panda dial especially) and the quality quite obviously speaks for itself.... But despite having been in and out of AP ADs all over the world trying to convince myself, I have sadly come to the conclusion I will never own one

But the WG Sub just fits and is so wearable and I love mine.......

But even if I felt I could wear an AP, even though it would be a difficult decision, when spending that sort of wedge, if I had to choose, I would still come down on the side of the Sub just because it is so individual

For me the sub wins hands down...
Just never been a big fan of the ROO or the movement.

Thats just me, both are wonderful watches to own.....

Thanks to all response and pictures, guys......Both watches seemed to have quite equal scores. Guess I have to check and try both for the last time, just to make sure which one is my next love.

You would be better off considering an AP Royal Oak, and avoiding the Royal Oak Offshore, as the original AP RO has a truly iconic design.

Yup, i've been thinking of that one too.

I would get the "Smurf" in a heart-beat. Very different watches.

travisb · 9 April 2012, 06:30 PM

If talking standard AP ROO I would go with the WG Sub.
Probably because I'm yet to own it and it may very well be next on my list...

I think it really just depends as to which one you like the best.

Or perhaps we could share custody of the WG Sub...2 weeks at your house; 2 weeks at mine.

BTW...I am super OCD about scratches so be super careful with it!

Lanfor · 10 April 2012, 03:54 AM

I prefer the ROO. Both lose a large chunk of their value quickly
