Which Chronograph would you buy?

Thanks a lot for the photo. Very helpful.
I have tried 41mm RO Chrono and wears a bit bigger for my taste and wrist size.

Thanks everyone for the input and voting so far.
It’s pretty close between the RO and WG OF.
Those happen to be the two I like the most.

I have tried 41mm.
It’s a bit bigger for my wrist.
Price wise they are the same in my part of the world.

Make sure you actually try both on in person before deciding. I was never a fan of AP from pictures. Once I touched one in hand and got to look it over in person there is absolutely no comparison. It’s like comparing a Bentley to a Mercedes, no offense to anyone. They are made targeting different markets really. The greys have just clouded the water by blowing up the Rolex prices. At MSRP Rolex is massively attractive if you can get them for that price. But a WG Daytona is much closer matched to a SS ROC and not a gold ROC.

I'm just a peasant, so I wear a Speedmaster.

If you can get that AP at retail, for sure that one.

Otherwise, based on what you have, you need a pop of color/PM. I’d recommend the YG Newman on OF.

All options are great though.


EDIT: I just realized the AP is a 38mm. I don't care for the extreme tapering on the 38mm bracelet so I would definitely go YG OF.

I voted WG because I don't care for that particular black dial.
If it was YG OF with an all -black, non-diamond dial, that would be my pick.
Its almost all black with just a hint of YG
