I have been going back and forth quite a bit between the models below.

For around 20,000 my choices are (not in any order)
AP Royal Oak stainless
PP Aquanaut stainless
Rolex YG pre ceramic submariner
Rolex Day-date 36mm YG

Let me know what you think and why

Thanks in advance[l

Pretty diverse wishlist.
Depends on if you want sport or dressy or a combination. Based on your list the outliers seem to be the two Rolex gold models.

The PP Aquanat seems like s baby Nautilus to me.
I’d get the AP.

Just IMHO.
All good choices!

I love the Aquanaut on rubber.

hb_the_legend · 16 August 2018, 04:52 AM

I’d go with the aquanaut! Love this watch

DD or Aquanaut

Etschell · 16 August 2018, 06:46 AM

when prices revert you will eat it on the ap.

id buy a rolex.

David5807 · 16 August 2018, 07:49 AM

I'd get the AP or DD if the full gold isn't too over the top for you.

UnicoJG · 16 August 2018, 08:34 AM

Aquanaut or DD

Pauln · 16 August 2018, 09:06 AM

YG DD is a gorgeous watch. Classic.

uniqueMR · 16 August 2018, 09:33 AM

PP Aquanaut stainless

SLS · 16 August 2018, 09:47 AM

PP for sure

JR16 · 16 August 2018, 09:50 AM

If it’s 15400 vs aquanaut , def the aquanaut . 15202 vs aquanaut is a harder choice but I would (and did) still go aquanaut. Great daily wearer, seconds hand, quick set date, perfect size

YG DD for me personally.

jarecki · 16 August 2018, 10:53 AM

I’d think you can do better than this list in this price range. I’m a big AP fan (have a ROO Chrono), but the RO stainless is a little plain for me. Now, the new RO Chrono panda (especially white dial / black registers) is a thing of beauty...

Was never a fan a of the Aquanault. Don’t mean to offend enybody, but IMHO that’s a poor man’s PP, you can do better than that.

Seriously look at the RO Chrono, if you want an AP (or the ROO diver - same price range and looks killer on a steel bracelet).

oldman2005 · 16 August 2018, 10:59 AM

I'd go for the Aquanaut

AP RO 15400.......... the bracelet/finishing sets the bar for any SS model under $20K. If your wrists are smaller, then the 15450.

But.......this has to be an emotion based/visceral decision: get the one that speaks to you the most-- not what makes the most sense on paper.

Green Arrow · 16 August 2018, 11:09 AM

Do you already have the Sub No Date? That pretty well covers your every day SS model. In that case, I'd go with the gold DD. I tend to enjoy owning at least one diver with good lume for an all conditions and all places watch, and I'm really enjoying owning a 36 mm DD (although mine is older so less expensive than the one you are considering).

zjd168 · 16 August 2018, 11:09 AM

I did pick DD

fskywalker · 16 August 2018, 11:20 AM

DD from those

mickyd329 · 16 August 2018, 04:20 PM

AP for sure.

rice721 · 16 August 2018, 04:49 PM

For 20k

AP then PP
