I have to agree with others here that there is only one true iconic piece to choose from, the 15202. I'd pick the AP. BUT, I love the CB too and it's a great bet for a 'future icon', which I'm convinced this FPJ is very well positioned to become.

I agree with the majority. Of those shown, the AP is the obvious choice.

I'm with the crowd here. The Royal Oak 15202 would easily be my choice.

Agree.

AP qualifies as the icon

The AP and the FPJ. I would have to flip a coin to decide.

Great trio of watches but the choice is easy for me...15202.

The VC simply because it's the most beautiful one out of these 3

Sometimes the easy answer is also the right answer: Jumbo.

Wow all good ones of course. I would have them in this order AP, FP, VC. But really could be happy with any one.

To be in a position to choose between those three options is fantastic.

For me it would be between the FPJ and the AP RO. The VC is beautiful but wouldn't be my first choice based on my daily style. It wouldn't get the wrist time and I hate having watches sit.

Best of luck in your journey!

AP is a real statement..a whole lot of watch! I'd go that way, especially at 35.

I do like the simplicity of the VC. The FPJ differing number sizes looks strange and quirky IMHO. The AP fits your wrist very well.

I would probably choose the icon myself, but since you don' t have a dresswatch maybe you should consider the VC?

very easy, you put them in the right order, so 1, 2 and last 3, a Patek 5711 is very cool also in blue dial watches, maybe a tadd pricier, but awesome watch, I have the 5712, very close and I love it
