Thoughts on next purchase....
Hi All,
Looking for some thoughts, feedback, and criticism on my potential next purchase. I have yet to own an AP, although I just tried on my first ROO last weekend and really liked it. Generally I like larger watches, 44-48mm. My last piece was a Hublot King Power. I really do like the 15305 skeleton as well, but without being able to see it in person, I am a little nervous how it would look on. From what I have seen in pictures it does seem to wear larger than the 39mm size, but I really like the skeleton movement and being able to see the engine churning. As you can see I have put a few different brands on my list, and I know this particular crowd may be biased towards one of them, just looking forward to peoples thought's and feedback. Max budget is 35k. Of course I would like a piece that will hold it's value relatively well (I know a wish but always a nice bonus).

You can't go wrong with AP! Another suggestion that I feel is a good Bang for the buck is the Hublot King Power Unico Titanium 701. However, if you want a piece that's going to hold its value well, I'd go with the AP. Ebay has a cool option that allows yo...
15305..
I know this is a rare and hard to find piece, but since it's technically not a LE, does anyone know how many they have made or will make? I suppose they will keep making as long as their is demand, but curious if they are making 2k, 5k, or 30k pieces.
While I have no absolute information, I would speculate
There are less than 2000 total Openworks produced at this point between the steel and gold models. It is definitely a limited production piece. As for your other thought that 15305 looks like it wears larger than 39mm, I completely disagree. I have had it...
Bias aside! :)
I think that from all the watches that you have mentioned, the AP's are the best choice. I think that the 15305ST #1 (the open skeleton) is the safest bet when it comes to re sale. I think that the other "novelty" ROO while fun, does not have the charm of...
