Audemars Piguet: Is it worth it?
Hi All,
Recently joined the AP family and basically am obsessed with the brand now.
Own the 15305ST, and looking to add to the family a 26022OR and/or a 26205AU.
What are your opinions about both watches and which one do you think is more "worth it". A little back ground on my collection, I have three Rose gold / white dial watches but no carbon watches. I wear very little sport watch and the ones I own are Rolex Yacht master ii steel, and Breitling Navitimer.
Would love your takes on this matter.
Thanks again all,
Eric

Congrats on the 15305ST!
Thats the openworked dialed in Steel right? Thats a beautiful watch, would love to see some pics of it. Regarding the other two you have. I was previously an owner of the 26300ST Panda dial, and I really liked it....However it does wear thicker and feel d...
thanks for the response!
Really appreciate your response and your thoughts on the matter. I'm personally torn between the two and want to purchase the both of them. I'm thinking about trading in one of my rose gold watches to get the 26022 and maybe save up for the 26205. I feel ...
Love the 15305 ST!!!!
I love the 15305ST. I have been thinking about it for a while. Hopefully, I can own one in the future. Judging from your collections. It is not an easy decision: 1.) you already have 3 rose gold watches with white dial ( I assume they are not AP & one...
love the 15305ST as well!
Hi, Thanks for the response and I appreciate your thoughts! 1. Currently I own a Daniel Roth Athys III, Cartier Tank Solo XL, and a Vacheron 1921, all in rose gold. So good guess, but not correct. I was thinking about the daytona! I'm thinking about tradi...
Haha!!! I like the way you put it!!! May be both...... Bankruptcy
Hi Eric, Getting both would be one of the solution but as you said.... Bankruptcy!!! Haha!!! I agree very much with Michael actually. Comparing to the two you have there. I will take the RG ROC any day!!! If you are going for ROO, I think you can have man...
In this circumstance, my experience tells me...
Choose the watch you prefer :-) What I really mean to say is don't choose the carbon because you already have some gold and white dial watches. If you really prefer the pink gold ROC (and in this comparison, I definitely prefer it to the selected Offshore...
always appreciate your comments
HI Michael, I know what you mean and I'm still trying to figure it out for myself. I feel that the 26022 is a must for me, while the 26205 is still out on a jury. Will keep you posted on what i decide! Thanks, Eric
It's a pleasure to share. Truth is...
I have learned that advice I gave the hard way. Several times over the years, I have acquired a new watch in large part by seeing what would fit well into my collection. After the novelty wears off, a little regret sets in on knowing I let the one I prefe...
Rose Gold
I still like the warmth of Rose Gold... Just cannot resist to see it everyday... Probably the rose gold of AP is not that shiny and bling bling...and still remain elegant and sporty... Enjoy! Regards, Hans ...
