and I really like VC, but Panda dial (black dial, white subdials). If you already have an AP, go for the VC. It's something different, and I really like the finishing and bracelet easy release/link adjustment system.

Thanks Kenny

The VC is definitely unique, I never see them around, but I feel like 10 years from now, the AP will be a more revered piece. I don't know...

Although i like the VC i think the RO will be the best buy from these two imo

i wanted to like it, but when i tried it on last year in Vegas, the face didn’t do anything for me and the shape of it (thickness) didn’t work for me. I really like the ROC, im just holding out for an in house movement.

I understand

Thanks for your comment. The finishing on the Overseas is meticulous and the watch, to me, is a classic design. The grand tapisserie on the RO's silver dial is absolutely stunning, especially when contrasted with the panda design. But I hear you loud and ...

When the panda chrono was first announced I thought I was in love with it...

But over time the smaller subdial at 6 o'clock and the way the date isn't centered between the '4' and '5' markers make my OCD flare up I think I prefer the dial layout of the previous generation chronograph. If I was going to choose an AP chronograph at ...

Well said....

Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate it.

Just between these two

I will go for the APRO Chrono. The panda dial just makes it stands out and looks more interesting and classic. And the practical fact that it has more contrast due to the colour scheme, therefore legibility is better as well. The VC Overseas Chrono looks ...

Don't forget about the reverse panda version of the latest Overseas Chronograph...

Might be a viable alternative to the AP panda if you're leaning towards a VC... ...

Yes, that is a great look logan2z...classic. [nt]

AP wins

If it is not about the movement then there is only one winner Nici

RO looks great on your wrist...lively than VC

Best, Mahesh.,

I believe the forum has already spoken almost unanimously. Candidly if you seek compliments- AP hands down, but VC has much more to offer in terms of mvmt finishing and bracelet options...

...AP truly has to up their game and value proposition to match these new VC offerings. No one knows the future but at this snapshot in time AP has more brand value even with a lesser offering.

I can't argue...

 
 By: oakeslee : December 16th, 2018-18:28
The AP is stunning. The finishing on the VC, particularly when seen live is incredible in its own right. And the in-house movement provides an advantage, undoubtedly in my mind. Fascinating to look back 10 years from now at how the brands will be perceive...

I am objective, but it has to be the AP here. [nt]

RO PANDA

 
 By: coster177 : December 17th, 2018-06:39
One of my favourites, go for it! P.S: Best looking color of all 3 for Royal Oak Chronographs

Agreed on best of the three RO chronos... [nt]
