The reason I am posting this thread is I am getting totally lost in picking my engagement gift.
I went to two local watch ADs and tried on several APs and PPs on my wrist, but I just can't make my mind.
The Main factors I am concerning on watches are:
1. design
2. movement
3. future value
and current I am looking at PP 5980 1AR 001 & 5711/1R 001 for PP.
For AP I am looking at 26331 1220OR.01 or 15400OR.
As this is my first watch above 40k, I just want you guys could give me some suggestions for the purchase.
Any input is welcome.
Thanks again guys.
Whether you get a PP Nautilus or an AP RO, you will take a hit on depreciation if you buy a RG model (as opposed to a SS model) unless you get a significant discount. However since it is your engagement watch, I can see why you would want it in gold instead of SS.

Unless you are a big fan of chronos, I would recommend the 5711/1R, the 15400OR or the 15202OR. Although I do not own any of these, I have tried on all three at ADs and they are all nice watches.

Do you want/prefer a second hand on your watch? If you do, then you can choose between the 5711 and the 15400. Do you prefer the blue or brown or black dial? Do you have a strong preference between the PP or AP brand?

Although I am a PP person, between the 15202OR, 15400OR and the 5711/1R, I think the 15202OR looks the best.
