Hi guys,

bought the breitling SA with black dial and batons and thinking of my next watch?
i would like 2 watches, 1 mid range and 1 high end.
only like bracelet watches and looking at these

AP Royal Oak Chrono 41mm
VC Overseas Chrono
IWC 3777
IWC 3878

Actually not really keen on IWC cos i don't consider it as high end.
No rolex for me, i used to own a submariner 14060 but sold it off cos i didn't have much feelings for it.
any suggestions?

So many choices out there. Have you thought about Bremont for at least one of the choices?

If I had a choice between the AP ROC and the VC chrono, I'd pick the VC. But both with the Genta lineage/influence, you can't go wrong with both of them.

I don't know if this helps any, but I would choose something totally different from those options. I'd go with the Blancpain 50 fathoms chrono.

AP ROC. One of the finest watches available to us mere mortals.

Love the Royal Oak. That would be my pick, though the VC is slightly larger, if you are used to the Super Avenger it might be a more comfortable alternative for you

I believe the early versions are 39mm. The newer versions are 41mm.
