I am looking at getting either a BLNR, PP Aquanaut or a AP Royal Oak 15400. What watch should be next? Anyone with these have any thoughts on these pro or con? Any wrist shots? Thanks for your help.

Nairn1980 · 21 March 2017, 03:23 AM

I can't see past Blnr - amazing watch....
That's when I bought mine, stickers off now in case anyone says lol

Naples09 · 21 March 2017, 03:33 AM

1. BLNR
2. Patek
3. AP RO

Why do you agree ?

Setting a list is dead easy, what we want is the decision process and why you came to the decision why one watch is better than the other.

If I said a Sub is better than a GMT, surely you would want an explanation as to why.

This about sums it up heh. Can't lose with blnr.

henrylee · 21 March 2017, 03:45 AM

I'd get the AP 15400. It's beautiful

mjclark32 · 21 March 2017, 03:54 AM

What do you have now?

beshannon · 21 March 2017, 03:57 AM

Get the one you like the most

samson66 · 21 March 2017, 04:04 AM

Uh let's see, you are asking this question on a Rolex site. Wonder what will be the top pick????

watchdoc123 · 21 March 2017, 04:20 AM

I have the blue YM, TT sub, Hulk and a Presidential Day/Date. I tried on the aquanaut and the BLNR and they were both amazing. Never tried that Royal Oak. I know this is a Rolex site but I also know there is a PP and AP forum as well here. I thought someone might own 2 or even all 3 of the ones in question and give me their thoughts.

Evo6 · 21 March 2017, 04:40 AM

Go for an AP Jumbo, love my BLNR but I've been lusting after a 15202 for quite a while.
The 15400 is too chunky IMHO.

Lordofrolex · 21 March 2017, 04:45 AM

1. Ap 15400
2. Pp
3. Blnr

HorologyK · 21 March 2017, 05:08 AM

Nautilus 5711 beats them all.

Gharddog03 · 21 March 2017, 05:15 AM

BLNR
Or
AP

brettpaul · 21 March 2017, 05:58 AM

I've owned all 3 and currently have the BLNR and RO....BLNR is the best daily wear, 15400 is the best dress watch (however it's a scratch magnet with all the flat surfaces). Liked the 5167 but after 6 months it just stopped singing to me so I flipped it.

In general, I find the BLNR to be more of an every day watch, the 5167 is an in between (assuming on rubber, the better option IMO over bracelet) and the 15400 more of a dressier watch.

All 3 can be an every day watch depending on your tolerance for dinged up 5 figure priced watches.

Try on the AP first. You have a few Rolex bases covered already. If you like the 400 or PP go for it

watchwatcher · 21 March 2017, 06:06 AM

All depends what you already have and what you want/need from your next watch.

EDIT: Just saw you've already posted your collection above.

I might consider flipping one of the Rolexes for the BLNR and adding the aqua. Gives you some diversity. Not a big fan of getting a watch without trying it out, so I would hold off on the AP until you can get one on your wrist and see for yourself.

GMTMasterDallas · 21 March 2017, 06:30 AM

It really depends on what's already in your collection. In my opinion the Aquanaut is slightly toy-like, and some would argue slightly feminine compared to a Nautilus (Like an Audi TT vs the R8, or the Mercedes SLK vs the SL). It's also priced a little too high imo, and it doesn't give you much. Both the BLNR and RO are great watches. I own the BLNR and love it, but it really depends on what other watches you currently have. I'd rank the RO a little bit ahead of the BLNR, because I love the RO bracelet, but it's your call.

Xerxes77 · 21 March 2017, 06:31 AM

If you want a watch for everyday use go to BLNR!

douglasf13 · 21 March 2017, 06:42 AM

I'm a single Rolex everyday kinda guy, but if there's one watch made that makes me reconsider, it's the Aquanaut. I love that watch, and I'd probably get the smaller 5165 version, like Paul McCartney wears.

R0bertb00th · 21 March 2017, 06:53 AM

Bnlr for me a great every day piece

You have a few Rolex so time to branch out to some different brands. If it were me, based on what you own, AP15400 no doubt. Good luck

osamu · 21 March 2017, 07:14 AM

5167
15400/15300
BLNR

For me at least. Well technically the BLNR would be above specifically the 15400, because I found the 15400 slightly too big of my wrist, so I would have to go with the 15300 or 15450 (or 15202). But if your wrist is bigger than mine (and most are), then the 15400 would be 2nd for me.

MrGMT · 21 March 2017, 07:22 AM

Lol at the people all saying Rolex first. Get the pp or else AP for gods sake the rolex is a turd next to pp and AP

timepieceluvr · 21 March 2017, 07:28 AM

AP all the way. Aquanaut and BLNR aren't in the same league with the RO

lecorsaire · 21 March 2017, 07:33 AM

The 15400st but only with the blue dial!!! That is the one to get. Otherwise BLNR. Not into the Aquanaut really. Yes it's a PP but so what?
