Can't decide which AP...

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a new AP to add to my collection very soon. It's also a present to myself for my hard work and for my 25th birthday. I turned 25 on the 30th of December.

Anyway.

I have been looking around for a while for a good rose gold 15300 with black dial and black alligator. I have finally found a good one located in the EU which is a + as well and it comes with 1y dealer warranty.

The main problem is that I also got a very nice offer on 2 AP 26300's, one panda and one blue with orange. The offer is truely amazing price wise.

It made me debate between either a 26300 or the 15300 rose gold.

Both are in my top list of likings considering AP and I have a very hard time choosing between both. Both their design and movement is amazing.

One of the reasons I would choose the SS RO chrono over the RG RO is wearability. Being in my mid-twenties I'm still pretty active. I would have less problems wearing the SS one vs the RG one. The RG one would be for evening wear/weekend wear only as I'd be afraid of damaging it. Next to that I feel the SS is more versatile than the RG (more strap options).

Another reason why I would choose the SS is price offcourse. I can afford the RG one but it would leave me with quite an extra ammount of cash if I pick the SS one. Which I can use for saving up for a next piece or using on my car etc (I plan to buy a new car in a few months too).

Why would I pic the RG one? It's a classic, a true AP in my eyes and an overall winner. It's a bit more elegant and classy due to the rose gold imo.

Both have their + and -'s.

What is your opinion?
