@KEPLER - 666 The 37mm, 39mm and 41mm Royal Oaks - gold or steel - are solid. Quite robust. Same as any Nautilus or Aquanaut. However, the movements in the older 36mm case models, like the 14xxx references and the Nick Faldo, etc. are VERY delicate. Those movements need service often. And each service is a minimum of $2,000 to $2,500.

Darren Reed I have a wonderful relationship with my AD. In regards to my watch collection, specifically my Rolex, I already had a Submariner “Swiss” only that is 21 years old. To that I added the DJ 41 blue dial with fluted bezel, the Root Beer, and recently Hulk. All from AD. I’m pretty patient and not in a rush. I like the fact that it’s become hard to get. Makes it more exclusive. I’ve been very lucky.

Rolex is yesterday's news and too conservative for everyday casual wear . It is more appropriate for suits and the elegant look but AP is definitely unique from a design standpoint and progressive. The NBA is an elite league that only has the best 400 players in the world. That's equivalent to AP whereas everyone (including my old man) has a Rolex. Yeah Rolex is in a different league where Mass Production to survive is their strategy. I don't work in Corporate America anymore so an AP is definitely more stylish and more appealing than a Rolex.

My only problem with the Royal Oak is that it’s a little too delicate. Brand new nothing else looks like a nice gold/rose gold one. After it gets polished a few times it just doesn’t look the same. The gold and platinum sports Rolex will hold up extremely well no matter how much they’re abused.

I often saw a person wear Rolex hide his arm ; or even take his watch off and put it inside his pocket when he saw another person come into the room that wear AP Royal Oak. A person that wear gold Rolex is someone that in control of the company. The Director. He can be someone like Steve Jobs, Sam Walton, Warren Buffet... A person that wear gold Royal Oak is the king maker, he has the power to change the director. He is often hidden behind the curtain rarely show up his face. He could be the bankers that fund the hedge funds for acquisition ; corporate raiders.

Eric, Love your videos. Keep them coming! In this case, both of these brands have excellent heritage. I think most would agree that AP is a more refined and avant gard watch maker, but it's hard to argue with Rolex's durability, wear ability in all situations with timeless design. Most Rolex's have the same characteristics dating back decades and people still love them. I like the Royal Oak, but lets see how it fairs 30 years from now. The most exclusive clientele in the watch collector world is the one who paid over $30 mil on a Rolex. There both great, just go with the one that speaks to you!

fairly recent view you're sharing on AP, it has been made fashionable by Hollywoodsters in let's say the previous decade, no one touched APs in the 90s and early 00s unless they were bored by a DayDate and you could easily buy them with 20% off msrp, the design of the RO is from the same designer as the most popular Patek AP are a p to maintain and far more delicate than Rolex, at least the older models, the higher price and as some say better finishing of the internals (haven't looked inside of one) do not make it a better watch, just a more of a statement compared to fairly ubiquitous Rolex (have several myself, so don't read this is a critique) Thoughts on the Code11:59 ?

Well with getting them wet it’s fine, I have a Royal Oak and is completely water resistant. Ofcourse I dont go diving with it but jumping in a pool is fine. I regards to the damage; yes they are more delicate, mine is about 6 years old ( bought it new) and it has some decent scratches and bumps. But even tho it still looks good, and its part of life with a watch. Haven’t service it but will probably wait very long with polishing it in oder to keep it’s edgy and sharp shapes. Just opinion. Rolex is nice but personally i dont like the fact that many people have them, the AP does not get recognized, only bu connoisseurs. What do you think about this?

In the words of Dan bilzerian “rolexes are like corvettes everyone has one” I defianetly like my ap and Patek more than any Rolex I had. When I would wear my Rolex everyone would ask if it’s fake or not but when I have my ap and Patek no one ever asks because they don’t get faked as much

Rolex has huge brand recognition and huge history, especially for its very successful sports models, it's just fascinating. AP is nowhere close! Submariners, Sea Dwellers, GMT, Explorers, Daytona's, have all amazing history! AP, is only the RO really, and the ROO, (Offshore) but they made way too many versions, and at the end, for the most part, don't hold value, and are more of a status/fashion statement... I get that these RO/ROO are high horology with decorated mov., complications, and technically more sophisticated... But to me, they just don't have Rolex magic & charm.

To me, Rolex always keeps it classic, but at the same time boring, too flat, too within the norm, etc. The only one Rolex I find somewhat original is the Cellini moonphase. AP is always pushing their design limits.
@lecorsaire2283
@lecorsaire2283 4 жыл бұрын
Keeping it classic is why Rolex is Rolex and why as a brand no other watch does as well. AP’s ROs and Patek’s Nautilus and Aquanaut do very well but each brand could only wish for the demand that Rolex has across their entire lineup. Patek heavily limits the Nautilus to keep the hype and market price super high. Before they really started controlling supply you could buy the blue one for 24k all day. Not long ago either. As late as early 2017. And the main reason for that is that they make minor changes. A Submariner and Day-Date from 1965 look very similar to a 2020 Submariner and Day-Date. Sure sapphire crystal, improved bracelets, improved higher accuracy and power reserve movement, better finishing but still very much the same watch. Brands that change their watches too much or make too many models don’t do so well like Omega.
