AP ROO vs JLC Master Compressor EWC
Hi watch lovers...i'd like to move on from Panerai to other sport watch with in house movement. Currently i am torn by 2 choices: -
- AP chrono, RO black dial or ROO - specificly rubber clad
- JLC Master Compressor EWC
I know it's my will to follow, but i'd like to invite different views that might give me a whole new perpective of picking a watch.
