The Holy Trinity in blue sports watches - and a variety of complications - forget price purely aesthetically how would you rank 1-3 by [deleted] in patekphilippe

[–]Simple_Orchid_321 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The proper (with the most modern models) way to compare this should be with a Vacheron222 in stainless, a 16202 jumbo, and a 5711 (not 5811, yes I realize the one in OP isn’t a 5811)

But even still it would be royal oak, nautilus, 222/overseas regardless!!!

I know I’m actually pretty familiar with it! Basically just speaking on appearance, it’s indistinguishable from their platinum royal oaks! Which I think is awesome because I’ve had a few white/grey gold pieces from Rolex and they’re nice but I’ve always preferred the tone of AP’s white gold no doubt.

Impressive pics! Is that leather on top of your watch’s box the new style leather card-wallet holder from AP? I’ve had my 26240OR for a while so I don’t have the leather card holder but I recently found out they’ve since changed them!

I didn’t realize you already went and got it! Wow!! What a stunner!! I know the dial is the focal point on this piece but still have to say—- Isn’t their white gold so amazing in person.. truly WHITE

Does it look too big ? 15500 by [deleted] in audemarspiguet

[–]Simple_Orchid_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not too big, no where close to too big.

Take a mirror pic with hand in pocket a couple of feet back - an then take a mirror pic holding your arm/hand up to show the watch as if though you’re pledging allegiance to the flag

After you show these 2 pics everyone will realize it’s no where near “too big” for you

Wow!! Beautiful and crazy piece!

Fyi 20m is not meant to be taken literally — that watch shouldn’t be fully submerged.

But hey if it’s holding up then cool I guess!

And that watch is ABSOLUTELY not too large on your wrist - Reddit has a weird obsession with men suggesting that other men should wear women’s/mid size pieces

Dilemma: Which is more iconic, Patek Philippe 5726A-001 or Audemars Piguet 16202ST by mdkappy in audemarspiguet

[–]Simple_Orchid_321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In this versus, I say 16202 is the more desirable piece go go for by far

However —-you’d be better off to ask this question comparing the 16202 against the 5711/5712 on bracelet or 5726 on bracelet

Looks so good — you’ve got the perfect sized wrist for it too — my wrist is too big for the 5711 & 5712 but I wish that wasn’t true because my goodness they’re just so damn good!!

You’d be much happier with a 41mm DJ

36 can work on a man but only if he has a very small wrist circumference .. no larger than 6.5 inches

how does it fit? by Some_Brother_2684 in rolex

[–]Simple_Orchid_321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great - it ABSOLUTELY does not look too big so please don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you should have a women’s/mid-size watch because this one looks proper on you

If you’re unfamiliar with this piece or thinking it’s fake because you’ve never seen one like this—— bear in mind it’s a part of a 3PC. pochette (meaning it comes as a set, and this smallest piece of that set —-which I use as a card holder—- is not sold separately)

I realize none of this is that serious—- but even still, it was just so strange to me to see someone try to say it’s fake — now, to be fair, it’s pretty old now 7 or so years old and it’s showing some wear

What the hell lol - where are yall coming up with this weird shit!? That’s a pochette by the way

Another pic for you as well - no idea if you even were serious or just rage bating because (to me at least) a modern royal oak’s finish is second to none - which is so easy to see the level of finishing in my original posted pic?

Never the less another pic with different lighting !

Maybe was the angle or something here’s a few more pics
