I would (and did) go with an AP RO Jumbo. While more expensive it’s really a big step up. 39mm; extra thin movement, case and bracelet, gorgeous blue dial and historic 2121 movement. It looks and wears like a million bucks. Downside is higher price and harder to come by. If you’re going to have one AP the Jumbo is the way to go.

I’d get the AP if the price was right. I’m not a fan of the jubilee bracelet on the new steel BLRO.

I just checked availability with the AD who is sourcing my watch and he said that the SkyDweller could take between 1-2 yrs! The shortage is real.

AP all day. I recently got the 15400 blue dial. It’s fantastic and a great way to change things up from my Rolex lineup

I think that’s old pricing. I doubt you can get a 15300 for anywhere near that low now.

Of these 3 I prefer by far the Pepsi, not a fan of the fluted bezel in WG or SS, works fine in RG but white metal I don't like bizarrely, if you had put the blue AP it might be different but since you put silver then yes the Pepsi 100%

Or a ROO, I had the 15300 blue dial, also 39mm, and the AP ceramic diver, let the RO go and kept the ROO, amazingly cool watch

Skydweller - you have a BLNR.
