Try the Piguet on, it is a beautiful clock.

I love Rolex, I love AP....actually I love them all ...

My wife doesn't understand....especially when I make the comparison to women

Have a look at a DJ with the Rhodium dial if you get a chance. You will see a dial that changes shades so many times in different lighting, but is still understated and absolutely gorgeous. Just a bit of a change from a regular white dial. The silver Roman Numerals look great on it, too. Actually, even the diamonds on the dial look great, and I am not a lover of diamonds on a man's watch normally. With the Jubilee bracelet, and a white gold fluted bezel, it is really stunning!
Have fun making your choice!
Cheers ,
Carl

AP looks less sporty to me and very classy as well

Hi Dylan Wade:

you have sold your GMT IIc, you should buy a watch with dual time. I would recommend this

You won't go wrong with either, that is a certainty

Just my thoughts, for what their worth
If the plural of radius is radii, then the plural of Milgauss should maybe be Milgaii?

Anyway, I think you should consider the DJ II and perhaps even the S/S YM - both are dressy and sporty!

Personally would go with the AP RO. Must say you're giving me second thoughts about my dream combo of DSSD and GMTIIc.

I say wait for Besel, but if you want something that looks different, the RO is sweet.

Both are beautiful watches without a doubt, but give the Milgauss a shot as well.
X213421346215!!! The Millie is a great watch!

Yes the EXP II is truly a beauty and after reading through a few of the EXP II threads ala "JJ review's" and the "Enigma" I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on another EXP II. I’m pretty sure that I can also buy back my former EXPP II from the same shop I sold to, as they still have an M series that looks suspiciously like the one I sold over 6 months ago, which of course means I buy at pre-owned price but it was only ever pre-owned by myself!

If Basel comes out with a redesigned EXP II model I can always trade away again for the upgrade if it ROCKS!

I would consider a DJII on super jubilee..satifies the sportier side with the
41mm dial, but still retains it's classier, dressier image

Although if you don't want the classic rolex look then pass on this
the DJ (I or II) screams Rolex...
