New to AP

I really like ref 26400AU.OO.A002CA.01 - 44mm carbon

but i also like the safari 42mm ref 26470ST.OO.A801CR.01

would i be making a mistake going with the 42mm ? i just really like the brown - looks like a great daytime watch to pair with my platona...but, i dont want to regret not going 44mm....help

thanks!

id go with the safari as an only watch

but as you have the platona, FC

lapince · 5 April 2016, 05:44 AM

44 but ceramic for me, plus you have anthracite and black dial choice, both nice but if you prefer FC your choice

kilyung · 5 April 2016, 06:16 AM

Go 44mm

WAK4 · 5 April 2016, 06:37 AM

What size is your wrist?

I think the FC would be a nice variety (not so much brown) option to the platona.

Though you also run the risk of the platona seeming small once you get used to the AP size.

robbonds · 5 April 2016, 06:43 AM

ok...44mm it is..i think i like
26402CB.OO.A010CA.01
but with a croc strap or something...just not white and not rubber

sssteel · 5 April 2016, 06:59 AM

I much prefer the 42mm models - but not that Safari.
Try them both on ;)

martinr · 5 April 2016, 08:02 AM

44mm all day. The thickness to width ratio is much better than the 42mm which sits really high.

Small? It will look microscopic

texex91 · 5 April 2016, 09:13 AM

44mm, but only YOUR wrist can tell you.

AK797 · 5 April 2016, 09:47 AM

Tried on the FC 44 recently and the lugs do hang over my wrists so is a no go. Will try the RG next, you never know.

Mr Kram · 5 April 2016, 09:56 AM

try it on first. i know the 44 fits well on me and i sort of regret not going "big" in the first place, but it makes no sense if the larger model doesn't look on your wrist. FWIW, the dayton will feel TINY after wearing a 44.

Halothane · 5 April 2016, 01:05 PM

With AP it is definitely worth a trip to try them on. I spent a day in LA recently and I think my next AP will be the Safari. It wasn't even on my radar when I went in but was far my favorite on my wrist. You just never know...

Hairdude1 · 5 April 2016, 01:11 PM

Try on both and then make a decision, I love both

Chary · 5 April 2016, 03:51 PM

What he said LOL...happy hunting! I hope you get that watch that'll make you happy. That's the most important factor at the end of the day.

gummy · 5 April 2016, 09:42 PM

Both are great options!

44mm FC will give you a great summer watch...and a great pair with your platona!

Danny83 · 6 April 2016, 02:47 AM

44

robbonds · 6 April 2016, 02:49 AM

44 it is - but RG on rubber or all black ceramic ?

eonflux · 6 April 2016, 02:54 AM

Agree with everyone to try on a 44
Often fits better than you'd think

robbonds · 6 April 2016, 02:56 AM

def going with 44 - but all black ceramic or RG on rubber ?

lapince · 6 April 2016, 03:30 AM

Ceramic is under the radar as material, nunscratchable and light, great for daily, RG is the opposite exactly

Go 44 or go home 😜
