I been waiting on a blue dial overseas for a few month now, they have a wait list so the hype is starting.
Really love that blue.

The AP 26331 is an amazing piece. Gotta love the bracelet and how it plays with the light. Depends on what you’re going after. I’m bias since I’m an AP fan.

The VC is a nicer watch but the AP is a better buy. You have to decide if you like the size of the VC; it sits more like a ROO than a RO.

When I was in the market for my first "holy trinity" piece I was focused on the RO 15500 Black and OS 4500V Blue. I saw both in-person and personally felt that the AP has the upper hand in that battle. My brain wanted the OS but my heart said RO.

HOWEVER, the OS Dual Time Blue will be my next purchase. That watch is a stunner in person. The VC in Beverly Hills happened to have one and if it wasn't reserved, I probably would have left with it.

As far as the chronographs go, as soon as VC releases a SS white with black sub-dials, I'm a buyer.

I'm holding on the ROC simply because there are solid rumors that AP's in-house movement from the CODE will be making it into the ROC sooner rather than later. That alone would push me into the VC if I had an immediate chrono itch to scratch.

AP chrono for value. VC for function.

People vastly underappreciate VC

They are phenomenal pieces and the ez change straps are ridiculously simple to use...it's the only brand that I actually change the straps and it literally makes a watch into 3 different ones. Love it.

To me they’re both equal. I’ve seen them both and the finishes on AP rival vacheron but they’re both rolls royces to me.

Have to say it feels like the golden age of sport chronos...I even really want the zenith!
