I've been looking for something new and pretty much decided I will get an AP. It will take some time to save up the funds but I like to have set my goal, and then go for it.

I think the 15305 or the 26022 would be (almost) perfect for me. But would you guys use either as a daily wearer? I like watches i don't have to baby or be afraid to use. Right now I use my GMTc most of the time. It´s pretty scratched but feels like it can take a hit.

Bracelet is always a better daily wear and that skelotonized dial is

I might have to add that I intend to get a rubber (strap) also, which I will use most of the time if I get the 26022.

Ooooh no you don´t! But it´s so hard to stay away from that shiny golden piece of wrist candy.

I'd have to go skeleton.

Methinks you may be leaning gold though... having already thought through to getting a rubber band.

jvo300 · 10 December 2012, 02:37 AM

A YG on strap wouldn't be my choice for daily wear. That doesn't mean it's not a fantastic watch though. I'd love to have both to cover all occasions!

patrike · 10 December 2012, 02:39 AM

I will probably have either in rotation with my other watches. But I want the one I get to be durable enough to be a daily wearer. :) I hope to get them both further on. But my girlfriend screams wedding at the moment :P

Go with the top one.

dysondiver · 10 December 2012, 02:56 AM

do they do the skeleton , in gold ... best of both worlds.

Genesis · 10 December 2012, 02:56 AM

The 15305 is what you want....

vpr80 · 10 December 2012, 03:13 AM

No question between the two, 15305. Bracelet is much better and YG is not the best for DD also a bit less flashy.

patrike · 10 December 2012, 03:28 AM

No love for the 26022.

Its great, but not for DD. For what he is looking, the 15305 is simply better.

It's a beautiful watch no doubt...For everyday use I think the other one is a better choice...

patrike · 10 December 2012, 05:41 AM

I wonder if a rubber strap would like nice with the 15305...

That's like asking if a spandex suit would look nice on a supermodel!

I still wouldnt say no...

slavik · 10 December 2012, 06:50 AM

as i much as i like that skeleton dial the ROC just looks so much more classier!

patrike · 10 December 2012, 04:40 PM

There's one concern with 15305. Won't it seem a little childish when I'll be 40+ years old? With a skeleton dial.

As much as I like the 15305 I do not like the idea of not having a date window. 26022 for me.

AK797 · 11 December 2012, 10:42 AM

Get the RG, its very good looking and more subtle than the very very busy skeleton dial and keep it on brown leather the perfect combo, rubber cheapens it, and wear the GMT and JLC as your daily, or trade one for a Sub or Expy or whatever you like, and have the AP for w/e.

psv · 11 December 2012, 10:55 AM

I suck because I voted neither as a daily wearer.

Lycka till, Patrik!
