I put my name down for a Royal Oak a few months ago and popped in again the other week to try one on (sadly destined for someone else) and a few other pieces. It is a beautiful watch and felt great in my wrist, just a snip at £21k!
I was browsing TZ the other night and saw a lovely WG Daytona for about £28k and it got me thinking, I could get a WG Daytona for £7k more than the AP.
I’ve also got a soft spot for the WG YM on Oysterflex.
I currently only have a SS GMT.
My heart is saying AP all the way (if I ever do get the call which could be unlikely) because I love the brand and the watch as a whole, the downsides being the service costs and the fact it won’t be as hard wearing as a Rolex.
My head says the Rolex is a better buy because it will feel a bit more ‘special’ being PM.
Thoughts?
