If you have the choice between an AP Millenary 4101 and IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Watch which one will you pick?

lipjin · 19 November 2013, 11:52 PM

The da Vinci. The AP doesn't really appeal to me

s14roller · 19 November 2013, 11:55 PM

2 very different watches...not really sure how to pick. The AP is very modern, and like a piece of art (although I'm not sure I could wear it, I could stare at it for a long time).

The IWC I like the complications, but the case design (particularly the right side) is very unappealing to me for some reason.

benlee · 20 November 2013, 12:28 AM

Kind of apple and orange comparison. I will say neither. For AP, will choose RO or ROO, never warm up to the Milenary with its wierd oval shape. For IWC, my pick will be the Portuguese PPC with the blue dial. Yup, I got one.

SearChart · 20 November 2013, 12:28 AM

I'd go for the AP.

koz123 · 20 November 2013, 12:37 AM

AP all the way

Watchcentric · 20 November 2013, 12:39 AM

the IWC. Don't understand the AP...

exiger77 · 20 November 2013, 12:51 AM

Neither

drhr · 20 November 2013, 12:53 AM

IWC from purely aesthetics perspective . . .

this exactly!

simongpaez · 20 November 2013, 12:56 AM

IWC but not that model, the shape dosen't work for me.

B. Doggy · 20 November 2013, 01:52 AM

AP for craftsmanship. IWC for case design (for these choices). Normally I'd choose AP all day long...

Cru Jones · 20 November 2013, 02:04 AM

what ben said.

Lamkyle · 20 November 2013, 02:07 AM

The perpetual one with "Le Prince" in it looks awesome

travisb · 20 November 2013, 02:37 AM

Of those 2 I like the AP more, but I'd choose Ben's Port Perp over both.

Hairdude1 · 20 November 2013, 03:10 AM

I Agree with Ben

That's a sharp looking watch!

Yoda · 20 November 2013, 06:07 AM

Da Vinci in WG with the grey dial is amazing and 1 of 50 pieces rare as well.

SixPak · 20 November 2013, 07:29 AM

Neither for me.

h999r · 20 November 2013, 07:31 AM

Between these 2 ... AP. People will confused this millenary to Tourbillon for a moment. :)

alljunks · 20 November 2013, 04:16 PM

If just two options, I would go with IWC Da Vichi... Else AP ROO

GB-man · 20 November 2013, 04:32 PM

I like benlees watch. It's beautiful.

What was the question again? AP I suppose but I must say neither appeals to my narrow minded tastes.

sushisummo · 20 November 2013, 04:41 PM

Ap

bayerische · 20 November 2013, 07:00 PM

Very different watches, but AP for me.

Jorssen · 20 November 2013, 08:08 PM

AP, I love how the movement is being displayed.

VICI · 20 November 2013, 08:31 PM

The perpetual calendars are interesting pieces which are (IMO) worthy of appreciation for their complexity of movement.

I actually like the Kurt Klaus. See if you can find a deal... SS usually go for the 15-16.5k range asking price.

To add to a collection, I'd do it. But to choose one or the other, it would be the AP.
