Thanks Thomas!



I'm reposting this photo which has the RG AP in a more neutral white balance, I suspect.

I've put them side-by-side at AD, both are really nice IRL, I find the RG to be warmer than YG, especially Rolex's version of yellow gold. Regardless, I still want a 1/16718 18K GMT one day! :-)

Always great to see your lovely 15330OR

You are familiar with both brands what do you think about the colors compared to each other

I find the AP RG to be a bit more neutral and warm, which I tend to prefer. Having said that, that AP gold scratches darn easily! Not what I would recommend for a daily wearer.

I agree on not recommend any AP as a daily driver if you are anal about scratches and dings(which i am), But i must say Rolex did a fantastic job on their RG mix in their collection

the rolex RG looks much more copperish then the AP RG. I prefer the AP RG but could it look that way due to the brushed finish where as the rolex is polished.

I wish the Daytona RG came with a normal white dial.
