Wanted some of your opinion especially Neil's

After acquiring my first AP the grey elephant I've been loving it soo much that I rarely wear my GMT II 2 tone which use to have a lot of wrist time now I'm graduating soon and I'll be getting one last watch before enter my next chapter. I've made up my mind that I want a rose gold watch to me nothing beats that. As much as I love the greytheme roo I do not want anywatch other watch that scratches this easily again. So even though I love the rg roc sooo much I wouldnt want a watch that i'll have to worry too much too much when wearing so my choices goes down to

If I end up getting the rolex i'll trade it with my gmt 2 tone which will end left with a hulk, elephant, and gold rolex. If I go AP i will trade my AP and gmt 2 tone and left with a hulk - 26401or - corum bubble roulette and few other watches what would be your choices? Here is my elephant and hulk

i really love the full rg daytona too but a polished bezel is the problem for me

I have no worries when I wear my 26401 around town. It is a great daily.

Thanks for the Input show me some pics

Btw I forgot to mention that the 44rg is my ultimate grail it's definitely one watch I told myself I'd get one day but first I wanted to keep my elephant so I'll add the PM rolex first but then Life is short...

subtona · 15 March 2017, 02:36 PM

The blue sub is my favorite of the bunch.

GB-man · 15 March 2017, 03:04 PM

Love all three of those. I am of no help whatsoever unfortunately

You're in for a great watch one way or another

Busyboy · 15 March 2017, 03:21 PM

Gotta be one of the ceramic bezel rolex

mickyd329 · 15 March 2017, 04:42 PM

I'm biased to the 26401, but you can't go wrong with any of those choices.

goog53 · 15 March 2017, 05:04 PM

Blue Sub for Me as it is a Classic and one that IMO would always be a keeper

robbonds · 15 March 2017, 08:55 PM

ap>>rolex
that said i own both...the rg44mm is a top 10 watch under $50k imo

brandrea · 15 March 2017, 09:29 PM

Flip a coin, they're all grails

BABKA · 15 March 2017, 09:38 PM

Whew...tough choice as all are beauties!

benlee · 15 March 2017, 09:38 PM

RG44 will be my choice.

masterserg · 15 March 2017, 10:22 PM

RG 44 no doubt. I do love that particular Daytona with ceramic bezel though.

sssteel · 16 March 2017, 01:03 AM

You state you're worried about scratches - do you realize that gold is SOFTER (and therefore scratches easier) than steel?!?!
I wouldn't recommend gold anything for you, sorry!

Having owned ROOs I gather he is talking about the bezel, which is why he's looking at mostly ceramic bezel pieces

Tangerine RG 44 no doubt right?

AK797 · 16 March 2017, 03:51 AM

Hey Ken, I love most of those watches as you know, my top dogs would be the RG 44 and the Blue Subc, so I'd get the Hulk and 44 now and save towards the Blue Subc in the future for a dream pair. Two beauties and both with ceramic bezels so no major worries.

masyv6 · 16 March 2017, 11:49 AM

Can't really go wrong with any. Good problem to have

GB-man · 16 March 2017, 02:10 PM

That picture pf the YG sub is just

lapince · 16 March 2017, 02:39 PM

Rg44 of course. But for me a grail is unobtainable RM 027 for example, these are all very cool but not grails IMHO

cvera · 16 March 2017, 02:44 PM

The blue sub calls to me the most out of the three. They all look great though so best of luck with your choice.

Thanks Neil wanted to know your opinion knowing you own both and all your pics are the reason I need one of them tbh. I'm leaning toward the 44 right now though it will be hard to let the elephant go and since I'm not planning to get another watch anytime soon after getting my next purchase that's why I consider getting AP steel Roo and a YG sub in a collection at first kinda make the collection look balance.

Yep this pic is exactly why the sub is back in to consideration competing the AP

Well, to be honest it use be unobtainable trust me. I'm currently 21 and never thought I'd even get a chance to own an AP anytime soon and never even consider an AP due to it's price tag.

I understand the Elephant is not something you want to sell for the LVc if you want to get the RG 44 now. As you will end up with both the order doesn't matter, just get there.

submorstua · 19 March 2017, 06:58 PM

I really like the polished bezel Daytona compared to the ceramic. That would be my choice.

jem7v · 19 March 2017, 11:57 PM

Have you considered the Paul Newman dial daytona RG? I'd get that one on the bracelet.
