2nd AP recommendations

hey all -- long time lurker here ....

i picked up my first AP almost a year ago .... after doing a lot of research i pulled the trigger on 15202 40th Jumbo ... I couldn't be happier with it ... amazing watch.

I'm now itching to get another but don't know where to start ... any recommendations from the group ... do i go for a ROC, ROO if so which ones ...

I really like the new 42mm ROC's especially the RG with strap

Any and all advice welcome ...

thanks

and some photos ...

2nd AP recommendations

Great pics.
I also like the new 42 in RG on the strap. Also have you considered a Schumi, more £ but wow what a piece in any metal

new RG would fit great with those two watches.




or the new black dial with red accents?




or, go even more sport for your collection with the Ceramic Diver?




enjoy the project! will be fun for sure.

I think this might have to be the one ... But looking at the prices I might have to wait a little.

Are these available in the AD's or Boutiques yet? I need to see it face to face.

Also are the strap brown or black? I would prefer black but can't really tell from the photo.

Very nice, thank you for sharing. I'm leaning towards the ROO as I already have the RO case ... I know the the ROC is a little bigger and the Chrono, etc...

You have great taste (233 + 15202)... albeit I'm biased.

TBH it's a bit of a downer to own the 15202 first... everything else is (just a tad) less satisfying. Maybe a gold ROO?

Beautiful, does the swear bigger or smaller than a normal 44? Not really sure if this makes sense. But I've tried watches on that are the same size but just some look really big and while others just feel right.

What about a Diver? That would be my suggestion or a 39mm Panda ROC

If you prefer 42mm, some of the new models are nice. I'd also recommend Diver (flavor of your choosing).

IF you like a little larger, the 44mm Novelty is to die for (any of them).

Thanks. I'd suggest a piece in gold to add to your collection. 44 or the new 42 ROO. Or RO if u want more dressy piece.

I'd say it wears about the same (to me at least). I had a 42 ROO Panda before. The 44 is on tang so it sits a bit flatter. You need to try it on and see.

I will be a bit different and say the RGRC if you can source one still new at an AD or Boutique.


PS. Great shots of the 15202 and 233!
