What should I get as a daily wear watch?

I currently have two APs. A 43mm Offshore in rose gold and black ceramic and a 41mm Royal Oak with blue dial and rose gold case and bracelet. For my third AP, I'm looking to get a watch I can wear every day. I was thinking of either the 39mm stainless steel jumbo with blue dial, or the 41mm Royal Oak chronograph with blue dial. I was thinking the jumbo being slimmer, might be a good every day watch. The chrono reminds me of a Seiko I had growing up as a teenager, but the case thickness concerns me a bit. I don't want to have to stress out about my watch banging into things all day like I do with my rose gold watch. Any other models I should consider?

Personally I think you’d be doing awfully well to get a 16202ST as your third new AP but if you can get one it’s a no brainer that is the one to get

Stainless steel jumbo all the way for me. Such a timeless classic, perfect size. I’m waiting for this as my next AP.

16202ST as third will be difficult but do let us know what they allocate for you. It's a classic can't imagination wearing Jumbo as daily.

Looking at why you already have, I feel like the RO 41mm chrono would be a great choice (not that I’d be against a Jumbo, obviously!).

Great first 2 watches by the way

End of Days II ceramic ROO chrono would make a great daily. Of course, with a sufficiently sedate lifestyle a SS Jumbo will do as well

The ceramic aspect is definitely very cool, but I'm not a fan of the black and yellow combo

I also have a purchase history of a couple AP ladies watches that I bought for my wife, so hopefully I can swing a Jumbo *fingers crossed*
