First of all: From APS only the CHS-Version is imo a real option. But this version is rare and dont even know, it it´s still produced at all. The biggest difference between APS and BBR is the week hand. APS´s week hand is a second hour hand, while BBR´s week hand can be adjusted manually via the cronw and doesn´t move automatic which is imo a big bonus, because on the BBR you can set the week manually once peer week and then it shows the correct week, while APS always shows a completely wrong week. So BBR is the better choice ... but it´s also afaik the only choice, because APS CHS-Version is nearly impossible to get.
Hey @JayBee0815, this is really good information. I am in the market for a 26574 I was curious what makes the APS CHS-Version so special and the only real option?

This is probably more of a topic for the relevant threads and not for the wristshot thread. But anyway. In a nutshell:

- APS ICHS: Case/bezel good, hand stack/pinion awful, technology awful

- APS CHS: Case/bezel good, hand stack/pinion good, technology mediocre

- BBR/BBS: Case/bezel awful, hand stack/pinion OK, technology OK

Since APS CHS is no longer manufactured and is also extremely rare in M2M, BBR/BBS is the only option anyway, but it doesn't look very good.

Here again for comparison (and to justify the long text in the wristshot section ;-)) ...

- APS CHS:


- BBR/BBS:
