Which one?

I love both of these, and now the time to decide has come. I already have an AP RO 15300, but it doesn't make me like/want the diver any less.

If you didn't have the 15300 it would've been a difficult choice

Overseas for me. Really classy watch. You get the leather and rubber strap for versatility, and you can order the bracelet to have it all.

I would prefer ROC 41 mm over both these options,
Given the above i would go to the oversea.

Good Luck!

As pictured, I'd go Diver. With bracelet, I'd go OS.

Vacheron Constantin has my vote, especially since you already have an AP.

Pretty different watches. I'd go for the VC only because I want that exact model.

I'd go RO but it's quite a bit more expensive. IMO the VC looks much better on a bracelet. Since you have a RO I'd go with the VC on bracelet.

Thank you guys for your feedback. As of right now the vote is 13-12 in favor of the ROO. There is quite a lead time for the VC, so that may be the deciding factor. I'll keep you posted!

Id say try them both on, the ROO Diver is a taller and chunkier watch.

Id go with the Chrono version of that Ti/SS model of the VC myself.
