This is hard one to pick, I would say if you have FC 44 mm than add Trulli, Ginza is very nice but to similar to your FC 44mm.

From your sellection I like the Trulli but agree that it's similar to your FC. How about something classic in SS like a Jumbo?

texex91 · 9 August 2012, 04:29 AM

Eddie nice ones to think about adding.

They are all very similar in many ways to me (from a looks standpoint).

Can your AD not order a SS? What about the RG 44mm?

Out of the two YOU asked about, probably Ginza--but again kinda similar.

Don't rush, get what you want!

APristi · 9 August 2012, 04:56 AM

My vote goes to the Trulli as well

GP unless you can find a mint RB2 Ti!

kilyung · 9 August 2012, 06:41 AM

I vote Trulli

Submarino · 9 August 2012, 07:07 AM

Trulli or how about the Messi in Tantalum and SS.

By the way Thomas, what's the price on the Messi one? I want one so bad.

FightOnSC! · 9 August 2012, 07:41 AM

The Trulli is nice! Looks like a versatile watch! GP is so nice if the funds are available!

Ristretto · 9 August 2012, 07:44 AM

Ginza.

thlax · 9 August 2012, 07:50 AM

find someone with a 44mm Steel

Ginza or GP

FremStar · 9 August 2012, 10:02 AM

Truli for me in this scenario!

Manofsteelpt · 9 August 2012, 10:04 AM

Trulli gets my vote... You had a 44mm SS/ceramic ROO? I like that one, and considered it vs my FC... what made you get rid of It may I ask?
BTW, your FC looks great on the GP strap!

fabini · 9 August 2012, 10:11 AM

GP no doubt. it cost me a great effort to find one in good shape and trust me the prices are very steady for the GP. if you want one in very good condition there's one for sale on ebay from a reputable dealer down here in Miami whom I happen to know. I've seen the watch and you'd be more than happy with it. the dealer is marvin watches.

texex91 · 9 August 2012, 11:27 AM

People are saying GP but that was not on your original list.

If we are talking about 'others' then 44mm Rose Gold. Period.

seattle1978 · 9 August 2012, 11:32 AM

may I ask why did you get rid of SS 44mm? Is there something you didn't like about it?

boursachi · 9 August 2012, 12:31 PM

1. i vote GP because to me that is the roo to have if only you had to have one
2. i know this is the AP forum but why limited to AP haha? i say this because my new craze is the RM010
3. i love the ginza more than the trulli, personally; but, in your case, if ONLY between those 2 and you would not entertain any other options (whether from AP or otherwise), i would say trulli for:

a. the ceramet bezel will give you the pleasure of knowing you have it
b. the overall tone of the watch is lighter than the ginza/44fc which will leave you with, imho, two too 'dark' watches
c. must you have the arabic numerals? if so, then ginza. otherwise, i will state the obvious and the unspoken-of-yet-important-consideration: it seems to me that the trulli will be the easier watch to flip back on the market as it is (seemingly) higher in demand?

if you wish to stick with AP, i must reiterate the immensity of how much you MUST spend time with a GPC

tomato · 9 August 2012, 12:49 PM

Trulli. As others have mentioned, it gives you more variation in color and material. I actually prefer the first Ginza for its simplicity.
