Hello guys,
I would like to buy an AP Chrono with a fully working Chronograph movement and possibly with a steel bracelet.
In your opinion wich is the best?
Thx in advance
Ok... you probibly figured out some people here are joking around here... APF is referring to the genuine watch. But I understand your wish to get a decent AP RO Chrono. I think they are very nice i probibly would grab a blue dial IF there was a decent rep of it. Unfortunately, currently there is not a decent rep of the chrono RO. Main problem is RO is a thin watch and the reps are very thick to accommodate the rep movement. That is why these reps are referred as the hokey puck look. And i agree with this. Not only it is an instant tell i would suspect the feel of the watch on the wrist nothing like the gen (APF)... lol (sorry)
So it is more reasonable to look at Royal Oak Offshore. I personally like the 15400 and 15500 by ZF (both not offshore), and they feel and look great for a 500 watch. Thin and flat on the wrist.
There are many decent offshore chronos by JF if you are interested.
I have been on a similar path like you, looking for a RO Chorono after watching a gen review on YouTube but only to find out all reps of this are not upto my standards. So started looking at RO Offshores and ended up getting a RO offshore diver without chorono from ZF. And very happy with it.
One thing I like to mention is the diver came with a Rubber Band and I ordered a seperate metal bracelet. With rubber, the watch feels good. With the metal, it is heavy.
Good luck with your search.
