Advice: Purchasing my first AP
So I have zero background in APs, as I have always been a Rolex / Panerai owner for a while. I have been looking very closely at a AP Survivor being sold at watchuwant - I just love the aesthetics of the watch in every way. My wife says it looks like a casio g shock and thats what I want, something that can be easily confused for a 99$ watch by some and recognized as a amazing watch by a few. I realize this is about post is extremely general and I hope you excuse me for my ignorance.

Need Help Deciding
I like both of these, but need help deciding. Which should I go with?

What's the best addition to my collection?
So I've been selling off a lot of my collection I don't wear to convert 3 watches to 1. The question now is which do I go with? I really want this to be a special piece and don't generally wear anything more than business casual. Currently remaining in the collection:Rolex SubC non dateGrand Seiko SnowflakeGrand Seiko HAQ SBGV005AP 15400 White/SilverOmega Seamaster Ceramic BlueUp for consideration to add:Patek 5711 Blue - love the looks of this, but very hard to come by at a reasonable price. Patek 5712 - slightly easier to find, but have not seen in person. By far the most expensive. AP Royal Oak Offshore Titanium - Available and quite like this piece. Any thoughts on making the final selection?The other possibility is buying the AP ROO and putting my name down on the list for the 5711, but my AD can't even give me any sort of time frame at all (in Boston) then flip the AP whenever the Nautilus comes in.
