You made the right choice. No comparison between the AP and Vacheron bracelet.

Yeah, maybe an acquired taste. I really want to like the design, but it looks too fussy, especially with that textured dial, and overall it's too big and chunky.

I totally understand that I'm in the minority. There's got to be a reason guys love APs so much.

Design is purely subjective and credit to AP, VC with it's heavy MC motif, and PP for not producing bog-standard round shaped sports watches like Rolex and all the others. Either you like them or don't, you can't force it.

Am currently considering either of these 2 pieces: AP RO 15400 steel in silver, or the 3rd gen VC 4500v in blue (date only). I have a 6.5 flat wrist so either one does not look oversized. I have tried both. Price is about the same new.

Currently, I have a PAM104, Sea Dweller from 2007 (do not know the series), Pepsi GMT II (2004 i think) and the just released Santos de Cartier SS large.

Am impartial to both (leaning a tad bit more on the 15400) but thought I would check what you think about these two. Which one is more iconic? More versatile? Which one will be a better addition to my little collection (planning to let go of the 104). Which one will hold its value more? What about service/maintenance?

Thank you in advance!

Temp you a bit. Alternative wear.

Well, I don't have both, but I can tell you this VC Overseas is the most beautiful blue-dial watch on the planet, IMHO.

Totally ; )
