The VC I have wanted one for so so long they’re beautiful. Think it will have to be next purchase.

Coming from someone who hasnt held any of these, I think the YM42 is too similar to a sub. Disregarding market prices, I would rather have the Patek or VC. If you replace the YM42 with a WF OF Daytona, I'd take the Daytona.

YM 100%. PP comes in a very close 2nd for me. The aquanaut range inspired me to initially give the oysterflex a go and have not looked back since. Currently my favourite bracelet.

Tangier11 · 18 November 2021, 07:02 AM

VC for me

AK797 · 18 November 2021, 07:08 AM

5164 is still my fave SS watch.

Burlington · 18 November 2021, 07:17 AM

APD for me, aquanaut is a little too plain for me and overseas not casual enough.

YM42 doesn’t quite work aesthetically for me.

Helpful. Thanks Richard!

Money aside, as an everyday wear I'd go: YM > PP > VC > AP

Giangos · 18 November 2021, 06:45 PM

YM and VC would be a tie for me. I would like to add both of these to my collection.
That RO offshore would be dead last.

aquanaut is just as durable as the sub maybe more having a rubber strap minus depth rating

Lol yea right….

willywatch · 18 November 2021, 10:18 PM

Comparing any Rolex with those brands is just ridiculous.
Only people who know nothing about watches would do it.

YM 42 for me followed by the AP diver but one of the new editions with the in house movement. Next PP. not really into V.

i've own both have you?

szabo_martin · 20 November 2021, 09:45 AM

Yeah I OWN both and its not as durable. All the shafts and pinions inside the Patek are 1/3 what they are in a Rolex. I spoke to a Patek watch maker and he told me the two are not even close, Rolex is considered a tractor in comparison to Patek. Hence why both are so great.

It is a good point. Tough to compare apples to apples here. Hoping to add an aquanaut at some point. I think I’ve been convinced to keep my YM42 (opposed to trading towards one of the others mentioned).

Hard to find but this AP Titanium is awesome if you can find one: https://tropicalwatch.com/watches/1fjc

xjeeunitx · 20 November 2021, 03:25 PM

1. PP Aquanaut
2. VC Overseas
3. AP ROO
4. YM42

Rolex is not the even on the same stage as the other three.

George58 · 20 November 2021, 07:38 PM

AGAIN in real life in every day wear my PP has done everything I put my Rolex through.

Gerardus · 20 November 2021, 10:08 PM

My ranking for your lineup is:
1. AP ROO
2. Rolex YM
.
.
PP and VC are not my cup of tea, each his own.

Bigsoftee · 20 November 2021, 10:26 PM

I like the VC, a lot

travisb · 20 November 2021, 10:32 PM

Of those options I'd choose the VC but on bracelet.
PP 5164 would trump them all if that was in the mix.
