Calling out for ap expert!
Hi this is my first post on this web..I'm in a bit of a dilemma and need help from u expert out here.

I know both are very different type of watch but I did fell in love with both of them in a different way. My judgement in the end would however come down to which of these model will retain price better. In my own experience Patek tend to hold its value very well but I have no knowledge on the le piece for audemar. Any opinion or advise would be greatly appreciated thank u

My new PO finally saw ocean
Just got back from Cabo San Lucas where my PO got its first dunk in salt water. The watch is beautiful (especially under water) and withstood the trials of partying quite well.I had been looking for a general sport watch for a while now and wearing this on one wrist with a Submariner on the other I had to choose the PO. It just looked and felt so perfect for me (plus the money I saved paid for my St. Gallen Rescue which I'll take some pics of later). While I would love to own a Rolex someday, I am very happy with my PO and it is a welcome addition to my small watch collection (and likely will get the most wear time).Obligatory pics:
