Yachtmaster vs ap roc

Hi, and about to get a new watch, which you guy think it is more good looking, best money/value, considering all are about the same price, and considering the Rolex is white gold and the aps are ss, or maybe the day date platinum black out dial but it is quite more expensive.

YM WG 42 so underrated.

You should be able to get that at list, or even slightly below depending which country u r in

Just personal preference but I would vote for either AP or the DD over the YM in WG.

These are different than your choices, but the AP bracelet is pretty damn special. So AP gets my vote

Why did you remove the OF?

Watch prices (grey) are pretty wide apart, not sure these are comparable. I have both AP 15500ST and Rolex 226659. Based on your question of value alone, I would suggest AP as I think it has more price appreciation potential than the YM 42. But I use the rolex as my daily and the AP for flashy events (dinners, clubs, etc..) when I want to be seen.

AP - they are not in the same league, even if one is in white gold and the other in SS

AP even if it is in steel.
If you go the DD route, check out models with Roman numerals.
It makes the watch even more unique, IMHO

APRO was never meant to be a chrono.

Then AP decided to ruin the RO by forgoing the monobloc build and instead have it a 3 part case for cost cutting.

Unless you can get yourself an OG 15202, I'd say buy something else. If you want platinum, go for a DD.

Interesting information; I'm a fan of the RO chrono but I guess given this I'd go for either the YM or DD. I'm satisfying my RO interest with a Casioak.

two reasons. I have another OF piece coming to try and get a better fit and 2) because while browsing rubber B's website I saw this configuration and knew I needed to have it. It looks so good in person
