After my 'where to go next?' thread, I think I've somewhat converged on either: 1) Two watches, a Big Pilot 5001 and a JLC Reverso Squadra 2) One watch, an AP ROO Blue Themes What would you do? I'm still working up mentally to paying AP prices for a single watch...

If it were me, probably option 2. I'm just not a Reverso fan (although I appreciate its heritage etc). Still love the BP though, the horror stories about its timekeeping haven't put me off although they have made me wary. I recall reading somewhere else that you have a 7-day Portuguese that hadn't had any trouble, so you might be more relaxed about the movement. I assume you mean 5004 by the way? |

As much as I love the BP, and would love to get one, I think it is a little too similar to the 5001...i'd go with the AP no doubt between those two options. |

Well, I'm partial to the pilot styles so the BP would be my choice if I could pull off the size. The other two options just aren't my cup of tea. Good luck with your decision! |

Im with both of you for the most part, but the squadra has the squarer case thats not so narrow and tall like the regular ones. Its got a good look to it. EDIT: Id still go with the AP though

Well I'm not a big fan of the Reverso but I do like the BP, even if the movement is questionable. On the other hand, after, looking at your collection I think that an AP ROO would be a better addition and really add something you your collection. If you only had one or two watches I'd say go for the two, but the ROO would add something different. |

I agree with the others on this one. Go with the AP...Panda. |

Panda only if it was on a Black Croc with Red Stitching. Or this one. |

I'm planning to get a bracelet. I generally find them more comfortable on smaller watches. Also I've found it's much harder to source a bracelet after the fact than it is to source a strap. I don't think I dig the silver themes. |

Between the AP dials I like the panda, those red accents give it a more sporty look. |
