YG Sub all day, absolutely stunning! AP on bracelet, now that's a conversation worth having.

Sub. The dial is fantastic. All gold bracelet, which I prefer over a strap. More versatile and rugged. I'm a huge AP fan but the choice would be easy for me.

I had an AP RG ROC as well but not being on a bracelet diminished it for me, so I would go for the YG Subc. The blue sunburst dial is the most beautiful dial of all for me, across AP, PP and Rolex.

I don't like the AP models, not looking at monetary value any sub wins in my book. But the 116618 by a landslide

Tough call. If the AP is on a bracelet can we flip a coin to decide?

Hmm. I'll have the AP because the sub is just too much shine for me personally. I applaud those who wear their YG full Rolex proud, I'm just not there yet.

I don't like Audemars Piguet and this Sub is very very stunning

I've never seen an AP I liked.
The first Rolex I bought was a TT blue sub. So I'll go with blue sub.

I own and love both Rolex and AP...in fact, prefer AP generally, BUT in this case, I'd take the 116618...if the ROC was on RG bracelet, then that would be my choice...

Absolutely wonderful picture of an absolutely wonderful piece. Thank you so much for sharing that.

OP. I would definitely go with the all gold submariner.

That is my absolute most favorite Rolex saying.
