MB&F HM5 Carbon vs AP RB II Ti

[jackal981]

Hi ! Long time lurker here. Currently I am considering to buy either one of MB&F HM5 Carbon or the AP RB II Ti. I have tried the MB&F HM5 albeit in rose gold and it is simply a stunning piece and sits on my wrist perfectly. However, AP RB II Ti is one of the most iconic ROO out there. What do you guys think ?

MB&F HM5 Carbon Pros:

1. About 5-7k cheaper than RB II
2. More Limited piece (66 pieces)
3. Unique
4. I love MB&F and appreciate what Max has done

Cons

1. Not a watch in traditional sense
2. Afraid value does not hold as well
3. I must wait at least a month to get it
4. Harder to service in my area

AP RB II Ti Pros

1. One of the most iconic ROO
2. I love the bulky and intimidating look
3. Holds value very well since it is discontinued
4. Easier servicing

Cons

1. Non-caseback
2. Pretty old
3. I already have AP ROO Black/Red

I love non conventional watches, MB&f, Urwerk and others, just not getting one because of the problems and value for resale, plus the ones I like are not the cheapest. So if you can get the MB&F, it's awesome
