I vote both!!!

Love them both equally for different reasons!

GradyPhilpott · 30 March 2021, 11:02 AM

I'd choose the AP, myself.

I'm not a big fan of the Anniversary Subs, although I think they look great on the wrists of others.

I used to hate the Royal Oak, but it has grown on me, and if money were not an issue, I'd be on a waiting list for one.

I’ll take the Rolex please

Rafeeq · 30 March 2021, 12:06 PM

I know an AP is one on those "next level" dealies...but I confess I can't help finding it kinda funny-looking. Definitely Rolex for me.

Jster · 30 March 2021, 12:23 PM

I prefer the Rolex. I had a 15400 and it was too big for my 7 inch wrist. I loved it in pictures but just couldn’t bond with it.

it's no brainer. AP it is.

I had a 15400 and ended up trading it for my Daytona 3-4 years ago. Something about it was not a fit for me.

I actually prefer the 15400 much more than the 15500

the Submariner, without a doubt......it's the iconic sports watch of all times

it's much better as a beater's watch also

bp1000 · 31 March 2021, 08:21 PM

Sub

AP RO just isn’t for me. As an enthusiast I think the finish is untouchable so if you like the look and design them this is a very one sided question. It’s just not for me.

I prefer the Rolex Submariner. Not a huge fan of AP.

samson66 · 31 March 2021, 09:30 PM

I'm not an AP guy so I would go with the Sub.

doramas · 31 March 2021, 09:59 PM

The Royal Oak is in another dimension, plus the LV I like is the original, the 16610LV.

Daveclock · 31 March 2021, 10:14 PM

I'm not a lover of the AP 70's style and don't wear suits except to funerals/court and weddings (not necessarily it that order)
Much prefer the Sub

I do not care for Rolex green on a Submariner

vipereaper30 · 1 April 2021, 12:18 AM

The LV easy for me, more versatile and durable fits my lifestyle. The AP is nice but too bland in that combo.

imsayingthough · 1 April 2021, 01:03 AM

The RO

KeithP · 1 April 2021, 01:12 AM

AP. Another level entirely.

dukie748 · 1 April 2021, 01:32 AM

I'll take the Hulk - and I'm not even a fan of it, or green.

I don't get the RO, it may well be beautifully finished etc but it looks like something out of the seventies, which I suppose it is.

ciandro · 1 April 2021, 01:33 AM

AP all day.

wigdog63 · 1 April 2021, 01:40 AM

I'm not a fan of green on watches.
AP for me.

sgwatchguy · 1 April 2021, 01:54 AM

AP any day, every day

Chester01 · 1 April 2021, 05:16 AM

I would take the sub (though not the green one). I dont dislike the AP, but its a dress watch masquerading as a sport watch, and so I think there is room for both. People like to think its on a different level than rolex....yes and no. the AP is no where near as robust or versatile (it looks very 70's) and it was designed as jewelry and as such features exceptional finishing. The AP and PP nautilus/aquanut are the watches worn by the spectators of history, the Sub, GMT, and Speedy Pro worn by the doers of history.

I may also be in the minority, but I prefer the AP chronos over the 3 hand.
