Hi everyone
HI everyone, I've been contemplating my first AP watch purchase. I own a few rolex watches but I hear AP is on a different level. I'm considering either the blue boutique stainless steel royal oak chronograph or the same watch with the black dial, I thought about maybe just starting out with a regular royal oak steel watch but I really like the chronographs. The rose gold AP's are stunning watches but a little out of my price range for now.Any advice on which steel version wears better for everyday use. I have seen the black but I've never seen the blue boutique in person, can anyone that has had or has these pieces offer their personal opinions/reviews. Do they scratch easily?Do AP owners usually start out with steel and then move up to pink gold?I know rolex hold value pretty well, what about AP?any general reviews on pros/cons would be appreciated. Thanks

But as fare as I know that is more or less it.I do not know who got the best movements wean it comes to toughness and durability of the brands. Anyone know this? I would guess that if Rolex does not got the best they are very close. But I do know that most Rolex's are more water proof then most Patek's, I know Rolex use 904L steel, while patek use 316L. I know Rolex got everose gold, while Patek just got rosegold. So from my point of view it seems like a Rolex, will withstand the test of time and daily use better then a Patek? And for me that is what is important. The price, the amount of watches produced is not of great importance to me. Neither are the complications. I only really need date and time, th
