help me decide?
Audemars Piguet 26331ST.OO.1220ST.01. - blue dial (~$23-24k)
or Rolex white gold GMT - BLRO (~$24-26k) Also considering Patek 5712 - all steel (~$40k ? should be low 30s ?- but prices seem to have moved up a lot..) what are the msrp's of the AP and Patek ?? I have a white gold sub and a 44mm Plat ROO Is the BLRO too similar to my smurf? Prefer to add a watch - could swap the smurf for the AP..but I think id miss the smurf (I LOVE the flat blue surrounded by white gold) Since I own an AP and a Rolex maybe the Patek is the right choice? Just seems like the prices of the 5712 have moved up too much. Thoughts?

easy for me, the 5712. Considering your specific collection, its still should be the 5712 as that balances it out better.
If you want the ROC, id flip the smurf for it and still get the 5712. That would be an ideal 3 watches. Since the sub is in PM its not really a tool watch anyway so you wouldn't be missing that aspect from the collection. |

The 5712 would be my first choice as a candidate to join the trio. However as it is going for quite a premium right now the 26331 blue dial is a good runner up. Personally, I wouldn't be satisfied settling with the the PM GMTII if I had the other two lined up.

5712 would be my choice too, I'd contact a few ADs, really would not want to pay inflated resale prices now.

I know the 44 is closer to the camera, but OMG that is huge.

I would say go with Patek. I dont see the reason to have 2 chrono from the same brand.

thanks everyone...im leaning 5712 but only if I get lucky and find an AD (or any bnib really) at list...I know - good luck right..I think the Pepsi is too similar to the smurf and I def prefer the smurf.
Still contemplating the AP. Maybe I will swap my smurf for the AP chrono and be patient on the 5712. They can't go much higher (seeing ~$40k) since they will bump up to the 5980 and 5990 (id love a 5990 but can't justify the money unless I sell my 44mm plat ROO)
