AP RO Black Ceramic Perpetual Calendar or Richard Mille Dark Legend RM055
I have the opportunity to get one or the other based on my current budget. Love the AP RO Black Ceramic Perpetually Calendar and love the complication, but I also love the look of the Richard Mille RM055 Dark Legend in NTPT and red accents. The RM055 is a very cool watch but it’s movement is fairly basic although it was executed well. Anyways, I was wondering which y’all would choose given the opportunity all things being equal. Thanks again.

Go Ceramic Perpetual if you can, its a very exclusive piece that is pretty much impossible to get. I do love the Dark Legend though, but as you already have a RM055...

This may be an AP forum, but still, AP is a holy trinity brand and the RO is iconic, has been around in one form or another since the 70's, and will be around long after you and I are gone. I'll admit I do not get RM at all, but the brand can't stand up to that. |

There’s a big price delta between the two..
Since you already have a ceramic 55, how about sell that for the 55 dark legend + get the AP you will love NTPT |

If both at list CE PC is a no brainer. Not an RM guy so that plays s role also

There are so many bad RM wrist shots from rich guys with skinny wrists that I’ve started to think of RMs as ugly toy watches. That said out of your two choices (and not knowing what else you have but thinking of myself) I’d go with the RM55 as my choice for the perpetual calendar wouldn’t be ceramic.
