Whats a good starter AP, to pick up? Not necessarily looking for the top of the line, just a good my first AP?

agsstructures · 16 March 2012, 12:08 PM

15300 Classic Royal Oak, timeless and pretty much will never go out of style. Good luck!

VetteBandit · 16 March 2012, 12:59 PM

No real starter IMO. Its kind of like asking what's a good starter Ferarri......no bad choice.

For what it's worth the 15300 got me hooked on the brand.

MrJ320 · 16 March 2012, 01:18 PM

+1 for the 15300

LAJM · 16 March 2012, 03:54 PM

A 15300 would be the entry point for Royal Oaks at $15400 MSRP brand new. Here's mine.

Man, tough call. I'll go with the fellas above and say 15300. I wish I had one. Good luck!

Watcheroo · 17 March 2012, 01:33 AM

I'd go with the diver. It's a beauty.

psv · 17 March 2012, 01:34 AM

It all depends if you are looking for something in the Royal Oak or the Royal Oak Offshore line.

Adam K. · 17 March 2012, 01:52 AM

Hate to be a parrot, but the 15300 will be hard to beat......

another great option would be the outgoing (39mm) RO Chronograph, and if you want something more purely sporty? Offshore Diver.

And don't forget, Audemars is about much more than just the RO/ROO lines. Be sure to check out the classic Jules Audemars or Edward Piguet collections. Millenary is pretty awesome too, if you want to roll with something different.

DucS2R · 17 March 2012, 10:14 AM

Depends on your style. The 15300st was my starter, but if I were younger and did not already have several dive watches the ROO diver would have been a great start. Try both and think which one you would be happiest to show your friends. Buy that one and then save for the other!

h999r · 17 March 2012, 10:26 AM

I pick any ROO.

eric23 · 17 March 2012, 10:33 AM

I would go with a ROO or ROC.

outtatime · 17 March 2012, 11:24 AM

I really like these "entry-level" AP's. Too bad they're kind of smallish.

onkyo · 17 March 2012, 02:33 PM

15300..... it was my first.

Fiery · 20 March 2012, 09:52 AM

15300ST, no contest.

I was thinking the exact same thing. No real starter.

ktam · 20 March 2012, 12:18 PM

i will trade my 116234 Tuxedo for paying extra for 15300 or 25940 or my favourite panda 26170.
