Which AP RG?

Hi everybody,

I currently have an RG Schumacher, but considering to trade it in with a Platinum one!

And that will make a need for an Rose Gold Audemars Piguet in my collection, which model do you prefer? I really like the ROO 44mm, but not sure if there is anything more special?

Looking forward to your advices (advices with photos are greatly appreciated)

Thanks!

Salih

I bought a Novelty Platinum and sold shortly after my Novelty Rose Gold, however quickly I realised I missed having a RG in the collection so I bought a GP.

You need at least one RG!! I have a hankering for an RB3 but couldn't find one quickly enough, so went with the GP option.

If cost is not a consideration, I would stick with Schumi RG, or possibly find an RB2 or RB3 ahead of the Novelty Rose.

Another vote for the RGGP. I went back and forth a lot with the Schumi, but you can't beat the carbon fiber.

Keep the RG Schumi; it is the best looking of the three IMO.

Add the platinum in addition to the RG Schumi!

I considered adding the platinum, but already decided on another piece awhile ago...

Awesome on plat choice. Since you had 44rg, why not a RG 41mm ROC!

The Pride of Russia doesn't seem to a popular choice amongst collectors. But I think it's quite a nice piece. I, myself, think the RG RB2 is the hottest rose gold AP around.

Keep the RG Schumi!

The RG Schumi is the best looking piece in AP so far. I say keep it and go for the Platinum Schumi as well.

May I throw in a curve ball, for those of you with big wrists, I think the Arnold's All Stars Rose Gold 48mm is fantastic! Not many around.

I would very much like to keep the RG Schumi with the Platinum one, but that would be a VERY expensive way. There is like 60k difference between keeping RG Schumi + Platinum Schumi instead of RG ROO 44mm + Platinum Schumi. I don't really think it would worth it. 60k is worth of a very good piece of Patek :)

If I could have one RG piece, I think it might be the RB2...

Here's a shot compared against the Schumi. I think the Schumi has grown on me, but I normally just prefer black or white dials.

Its amazing how a watch can really grow on you after seeing quality pics. I really didnt like the Schumi when I first saw pics on the net. After QCs pics on here I think the Schumi might become my favorite ROO.

I would take the RG Schumi in that pic over the RB2.

Really no wrong answers here and it's all preference...any of these will be at the top of a desirable AP.

I'm leaning to RB III Rose Gold, and getting a RB II Titanium, so I'll have Platinum Schumi, RG RB III, Titanium RB II. Sounded good to me :) What do you guys think?

I agree. Actually, the photos does not do the Schumi justice. It looks 10 times better in real.

Personally, I'd give you a 2/3. The RG RB III would be my 5th choice among RG APs behind the GP, Schumi, RB and 44mm. I'd go with RGGP or 44mm for your gold; the red in the RB III is a little much for me.

My favorite ROO right now is the RG Schumi, followed closely by the Ti Schumi. There is definitely room for people to like one, the other, or both! The RBs are very popular pieces, but I wasn't attracted to them as much, except for their desirability due to popularity. Plenty of room for people to like the RBs also, just wasn't for me...
