Help me to decide

[Xerxes77]

Hi guys,
Please help me to decide AP ROO 42mm steel 26470 black/red or AP ROO 42mm 26470 rose gold?
I need to take a decision till Friday because I keep bouth reserved till then.
This is my small collection:
Breguet Marine SS Dual Time
Ulysse Nardin El Toro Blue
Rolex Submariner 116613LN
Rolex Sky Dweller
Breitling Chronomat Evolution
I am not decided because I want a watch who I can wear and enjoy it.
I have in the past AP ROO few models and I sell it. I know what is wick point(scratch magnet) but I want an AP ROO!!
44 mm is too big on my wrist that is why is not an option!
Thank you!

There is quite the difference in cost, go for gold if you have the means! 26470OR is the superior choice, it's one of my favourites actually

[GB-man]

If it has to be 42 and scratch resistant you want a 15707CE or 26202au (Trulli).

You'll scratch and flip the other two.

Go for the big dog, gold! Then work out and get the 44.

I try 44mm but is to big on my wrist
Rose gold is more scratch magnet that's why I have a problem

I'd get the the 42mm rose gold easily if I couldn't go 44mm. But honestly if the 42mm fits you, the 44mm fits you. 2mm means nothing unless you have the wrist size of a woman, and then the 42mm is already too big for you too.

[Jareddad]

Get what YOU want! Doesn't matter what we think. But if you're asking, I'd go with RG.

[superstarmar]

Both AP ROO are nice .... it depends on whether you.
Want your collection more gold heavy or not...
That being said, the RG is just stunning and pure sexy!!!
If you can get the RG AP ROO 42 I'd go with that one...
Very nice collection by the way.... Felicitări...!!!!

Exactly, at least with these two no scratches so you won't need to sell, I prefer the diver but the Trulli is really cool also, all other models will scratch and you will flip them probably loosing money

Maybe you think the 44 is too big but it's not, first time I tried one I was used to wearing small watches, Patek 5712 mostly, I thought it looked huge, but tried them another few times after that when I was wearing the diver and it loked great, and sure they are big and look massive, but if your wrist size is 7 inches or 16,5cm, you are fine, even with slightly less you will be fine, of course it looks big and bulky but it's supposed to

Thank you guys!
About AP Jarno Trulli I have one last year I buy it in June and till December stay in service on the road service AP Boutique Prague and me.
I send it 3 time on AP authorized service RO&RO Wien, and after I received third time and work bad AP Prague decide to send it to CESAP Paris( European service center Audemars Piguet). This change me a lot of parts of the watch includind cristal front and back I have the bild and charge for this RO&RO Wien.
But when the watch come back with 50% new parts work bad also.
So I think I fall with my nerv and I sell it.
This is some picture of the watch and one invoice when I send to service.
It's an ugly story!
But yes you have right is one of the most robust AP released it's very light weght and that cermet bezel it's really very very strong.
This is picture.

[Xerxes77]

After that I buy a AP ROO 42mm but have problem and with this and the problem start at 2 days after I buy the watch and the watch stop!!

[Xerxes77]

So now I want to buy me another one!!
Maybe but I like AP ROO.
I will keep in consideration your advaice and I will decide!!
Thank you for help guys!!

There’s more to it than simple diameter/width measurements – the shape and size of the pushers add to the bulkiness of the 44’s look.
I’d like to think the OP knows better as to what models he feels are best suited to his wrist size and shape, and which style he prefers the look of, in that context.

Comin, this is a public forum – don’t be so naive and post information about who you are and where you live, especially in line with the value of what you’ve bought or are planning to buy.
Come on, this is common bloody sense!
Get that invoice photo removed, pronto.

Wow you seem to be unlucky with AP. And yes I would ask the mods to take off the pic with your name and adress, nowadays it doesn't hurt to be careful

[Xerxes77]

Ok I understand
But I don't know how to do it?

You can't but ask one of the moderators to do it, seems there is a section support at the bottm of the main page, go there and ask for them to take it off, you can also find member HL65 who is a mod and write him a pm

[Xerxes77]

Ok thanks

In all seriousness, the 42mm gold looks great on you. I agree, you probably can't pull off the 44mm. Life is a game of inches (or millimeters).
