Hypothetical
Just curious..
I’m not a real buyer on these today. But- hypothetically- what would guys rather have as part of a watch collection? I know it would depend on what else you already had, etc but just curious what you guys would pick.   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

IP for sure
More interesting complication, better readability, thinner, less afraid to wear it (would hate to see what a scratch looks like on frosted gold) |

I’d actually bet it holds up ok. I don’t know for sure but I saw this one at the service center and you could tell it was worn a lot and there really weren’t any marks on the bracelet. My brushed watch shows everything.

I always thought it would be harder to see scratches on the frosted surface.
I would pick the QP in this case. The frosted gold is too much bling for my taste.

If the perp’s bezel was brushed vs polish, then I would pick the perp under majority of scenarios. Either ones are killer though… |

I’m thinking I would go with the frosted openwork. If I was going to add a $200k ap right now it would not be a daily it would just be a special watch to put on once in a while and I think the frost would give more of that OMG thing I’d want in this case.

For ~$200k and you need a little bling, this is tough to beat in WG IMO.

I would pay a bit more for the openworked ceramic. It is not scratchable.
