Hi All.

Looking to make an AP purchase in the sub 20k market. Prefer 42-44mm. Chrono and plan to swap to a steel bracelet. Can anyone make a suggestion on the best reference to look for ?

Thanks !

I'd go with a 26170TI.OO.1000TI.01

Wonderful Reference !

I'm in the same boat and went for an offshore elephant. Versatile, most with an the upgraded movement if you send for service and commonly under 20k.

Alternatively a 38 mm panda (smaller than you asked) but stunning.

I would get a 44mm if you want a chrono, possibly a Panda SS is in your budget.

Think the options are going to expand in short order

Wait six weeks and all current production SS Royal Oaks will be under 20K. Maybe not the 15202. Maybe.

Been thinking of selling my sub nd and upgrading, but will wait

I don’t think AP will suffer as poorly as some other brands as there isn’t the same level of hype to start with as say a Richard Mille.

I am patiently waiting... with cash in hand. The only thing that could possibly thwart my AP purchase is if a Sky Dweller comes in.

offshore elephant is gorgeous

AP Diver...sportier than RO and less bulky than ROOC. Perfect imo

get one with a ceramic bezel 44mm if you can otherwise the scratches will bother you as they will get scratched up.

That is a lot of watch for the money
