Can you deal with scratches? AP steel bezel is great at picking up marks. If yes, it's a great watch.
P.S: unless you choose the model with ceramic bezel, above is not an issue. |

Keep the YMII, add the SkyD, forget about the AP

I would advise the 44RG unless you are not concerned at all about wear and tear. The Brick is super boss but will show wear very very quickly.

Wow. Not sure how one can compare AP to Rolex. AP is like two levels higher. But since we are I would go with the brick. It will only wear quickly if you wear it inappropriately. It's a stunning piece. I agree with the others about the 44 also.

Be a "boss" (as Tom put it), get the brick!
side note, I thought it was nicknamed the "the pound" or something like that?

Start doing bicep curls if you want the brick haha. I think the weight is over 300grams in gold. I'd do a weight search here before you buy it, or see it in person. Not sure of the SS version, I'm sure it's more wearable. Honestly I'd have to say the SD or 44 on a strap.

Go for the 44RG on rubber, less worry about damaging the bracelet
