Icon2 Rolex 116655 vs AP 26400SO

Posted this thread in the Rolex section and got results favoring the Rolex by a large margin mostly due to size. However, I forgot to say that even though I am skinny, I am 6'3 guy (1.91m).

So, now to the question. Which one? Thank you in advance guys.

Get the AP.

I love the RG YM, but the AP is such an amazing watch. It really represents the best of everything that I love about watches, and since you have the wrist to pull it off you have to go for it!

What size is your wrist? I have been trying to decide whether or not to trade my Diver for that 44, but at 6.5" my wrist may not support it.

AP for sure. At 6.5 it's ok, but if your wrist is not too round, post pics but think it should be fine

For me easy the RG YM 116655. It is one of most unique Rolex on the market today and most comfortable watch I own. It also wears perfectly to office and on weekends versus the 44 which is not an everyday watch for someone who wears a suit regardless of what anyone tells you. I'd take it and did over an AP 44 in a half of a heartbeat.

I like both, but the AP seems to fit your wrist better. It also depends on what else you have in your rotation.

No bad choice here!

You can't go wrong with either but I'd give the AP the thumbs up. I'm biased though as I own one and I know how much I like it.

I'd go AP first and then add the Rolex later.

In this case, I like the AP more. Though I think the Rolex rubber strap is one of the most comfortable strap ever. :D

Not a fan of the YM, so ROO all the way.

I'm partial to my Aquanuat too, so perhaps something to consider.

Rolex more wearable daily, but the AP does look sharper on you. So if you've got a few watches then the AP, if you don't, Id go Rolex.
