which would you pick?

So being I have my first Patek on its way and I decided after the holiday season I'm going to sell off most of my collection for an AP again.

I know I have some time but find myself daydreaming about it. Which would be a better choice?

AP Royal Oak Chrono or AP Royal Oak Offshore Safari?

Thanks,

ROC if you like leather jackets But seriously I do like ROOs but prefer the slimmer case and the pushers of the ROC.

What Patek do you have coming?

I have both the safari and white 41mm chrono. So depending on which Patek you have might sway my decision?

Love them both... But being you have had a Panda before maybe the roc would be a nice change of pace!

Let us know what you pick up!

Between your 2 choices, I would go for a RG ROC.

ROC! The blue dial is my favorite but since you have a 5711 blue incoming, I'd go with the white dial.

As Travis says White/silver ROC will match it better than a ROO as the Nautilus is very slim.

I have a ROC (39 mm) and a ROO (grey). Both very different watches and love them both. In super general terms, the ROC falls in the ballpark of the 5711. Given that you're getting the 5711, and if you don't mind the ROO's size, go with the safari. Or check out one of the newer models with the ceramic crown and pushers.

Since we all love pics of watches, here are mine:

Here are some older pics of my Safari and 41MM Chrono...

Will take some better ones when able.

I don't think you can lose with either!

Very nice thanks for sharing. I'm looking to spend 14-15.5k so If I can find a ROC with a white dial I'll do that but the truth is I'll be happy with the safari as well.
