I have the itch and it is bad. Help needed!
Fellow RF members and watch addicts

After 3 weeks of torturing myself on what to buy "and I mean hell on earth" with hours upon hours spent daily looking at AP and I have one I think I prefer and it all falls apart. I do have it narrowed down that I want a 42mm AP. Other than that I am a lost soul because I simply cannot make a decision and it doesn't get any better the older I get!

If you don't mind fellow members please share photos of your 42mm.

It would be much appreciated!

How about a 39mm that wears like a 42mm?

The panda dial was at the top of the list for me but then I saw others and now I am here asking for help.

Beautiful watch

I had one and loved it but it was just too small for me. I favor the chrono as well even with their stated issues.

It's a looker though!

Another Panda - really think this is a great watch



And the ceramic diver - very, very cool (IMHO) though more casual

Oh I am working on it! It really is down to the panda or I may have to go gold. 3 pandas and no gold yet so maybe it's a sign!

The grey is my favorite 42mm chronograph. IMO, I would get that one or the diver.

I second that. The elephant is also my favourite and with the grey rubber it looks pretty damn cool.

the rubber is nice, but if you put it on a bracelet and then squint and turn your head to the side it looks pretty close to the Platinum 42.
