My Watch Collection - This One's My Favorite! - 41mm AP Royal Oak Chrono in Rose Gold

For three years strong, I can honestly say that this watch has been the favorite in my collection!
The 41-millimeter Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chrono in rose gold with the black dial continues to hold the top spot. There are so many reasons I like this watch, but two main ones are value and versatility.
In the $40,000-category (for around half the price as a Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980), it's difficult to find a watch that offers more bang for your buck than the rose gold AP Royal Oak Chrono. Think about it, for around half the price of the 5980, you get an all-gold AP that looks absolutely stunning!
The watch adds another level of versatility to any watch collection. The 41-mm AP RO in rose will not only make a nice wrist companion for a formal outfit, but it also looks great in a sportier and less formal attire. This is one of the things I love about the model, unlike the AP Brick which I feel is of limited use to me and is a piece that I get tired of pretty easily!
Given the level of status that this watch carries in the Watch Game, I wouldn't put it in a daily-beater category. Nevertheless, I definitely would call this watch my “nightly beater!”
In the watch collecting world, it definitely spices up my nighttime adventures!
What are your thoughts about the favorite piece in my collection? What is your favorite watch?

You can never go wrong with the Royal Oak. Timeless!

[@Crmjewelers]

Agree 100%

[@atn2666]

Wish I could afford a full bracelet version :(

[@deltropico7]

Love your review videos; love how more than specs, for which there are other videos, you go over the practical day to day look and feel. Keep it up!

[@pdipalma30]

I'm 100% with you on this...no other better bang for the buck

[@Crmjewelers]

Thanks for the input Peter

[@TECHFIGHTER]

Love the smooth delivery in your videos.....and the timepieces as well obviously. Love that AP Chrono with the black dial. The favorite in my collection is the Omega Planet Ocean Chrono 9300 because big and bold is the look I sport most of the time.

[@perfect7liberty]

Another great video Eric. Hard to argue the look, the presence on the wrist and the quality of that AP! Since my collection is a bit more modest at the moment, my daily and nightly beater is my SubC date with my Pam 050 a close second.

[@Crmjewelers]

Nice pieces there as well man. Nothing wrong with those.

[@raees7789]

I really love the rose gold Royal Oak and dark blue dial with the blue crocodile strap. Nice video Erik!

[@aliansti]

Congrats Eric! Really nice piece and as you said, It has a lot to offer for that money, have a nice day

[@Crmjewelers]

Thank you my friend. Have a great day.

[@is1dre]

Love that watch Eric. Only wish it had a clear case back. But the dial is way better than the new version...and black too, which they don't make anymore.

[@martinpetricek8234]

Another great video Eric.My favorite daily watch is ROO 44 rose with rubber. I really love the watch for every day.

[@OneWayPlace]

Your camera man is amazing I learn a lot from your videos keep it up !

[@filo72sf17]

Yes, I do think again like you!!!! 100% agree with you my friend. Take care, hugs from Italy

[@neill707]

If you’re going gold then this is a great look. The rose softens the look. The classic Royal Oak look adds interest and the black dial class Great choice Eric!

[@tora3032]

I got one with blue and it’s my very first watch ever. Thanks for your recommendation!

[@jamestravers4950]

Agree 100% just bought the new SS ROC blue dial and I love it, I need to save up and buy this next. Beautiful piece.

[@oliverlie3761]

Agree with you, got blue dial myself, awsome piece. Thx for your videos

[@defenstrator4660]

Not a fan of the Royal Oak, but the point of watches is to go wth what speaks to you, and this obviously does. Glad you found something you love.

[@borninsoho9710]

Good video, not boring... Eric knows how to do videos. The background, the music, the lenght of the video, the practical talks....

[@hashawncarey6095]

Absolutely love your videos! Greatly appreciative that we have someone out here extremely acknowledgeable on timepieces. I can’t wait until I am financially established to come do business with you, I really want you to be the first person I purchase my first timepiece from. While on the subject, I wanted to ask if you are going to make a video about the Richard Mille 017? I understand it isn’t a popular watch but I would like to know your thought about.

[@dakotaburns242]

Great video as always, Eric. The AP brick seems way to tall and would get caught on everything and looks like it could wear out your arm after wearing it all day. I like the sleek look of the AP Chrono 41mm in Rose Gold. Black dial always works well with an outfit. Great background setting for the video. I like seeing the architecture of Miami. Never been out there before. Keep it up.

[@johnreeper916]

My favorite watch is the 41mm platinum day date glacier blue face with blue Roman numerals. The face & Roman numerals are so reactive to light, stunning. The 41mm will forever be the perfect size day date in my eyes. Platinum is such an unbelievably timeless precious metal. I definitely want to add this rose gold 41mm royal oak offshore one day. Love all your videos & honesty. Always looking forward to the next video. Happy holidays!

[@stardust4711]

One of my favorites as well. I like it a little more with the blue dial

[@Crmjewelers]

Thanks for the comment my friend.

[@MrAli976]

Always love ur video Eric, that's a really nice watch

[@Crmjewelers]

Thank you for your support Malvin

[@IntroduceForex]

Great looking collection piece Eric. Congrats!

[@Crmjewelers]

Thank you for the compliment my friend!

[@wesammansour1486]

Amazing piece

[@The_God_of_Sexual_Intercourse]

That's a real grail piece! Much respectos, Eric

[@bentleygt3716]

well having your favorite is an acquired taste. there's nothing wrong with that AP. i think it's gorgeous, but for me would be the rose gold Sky Dweller white dial . great video.. Cheers

[@alexandrevonstieglitz]

Eric man !!! You seem like a really nice guy :) ...and I always agree with the way you describe the watches you talk about...as you really know your stuff !!! Peace,...and Happy New Year ! (Love your videos BTW.) ;)

[@carteroswalt2876]

Awesome video as always

[@mixLEMONed]

Nice piece and contrast combination of black n gold. Had a 'pride of italy' with nice number on it and still can't believe that I had an AP chrono as my first collection :)

[@motivacionepica1960]

totally agree, that AP just makes the trick every time. Beautiful video. And what a nice watch, probably a contender to this AP for me would be a skydweller rose gold 42 black dial BUT I do prefer the AP.

[@Crmjewelers]

Thank you for the valuable input man.

[@hollowmatic]

I know why you love the black dial, the contrast as you said, is sweet. I have one with the chocolate dial and for me, the offset on the chocolate is just as great if not slightly better. But both amazing watches

[@conradbo1]

That is a superawesome watch. And it suits you very well Eric. I hope to get one with the white dial one day.

[@stephen_lin]

This is a beautiful watch and this is a great review! I have a few steel Rolexes and Panerais, trying to step up my watch collection. Currently thinking between the Royal Oak chrono in rose gold and the Open work in stainless steel, any thoughts?

[@paul5753]

Great video. Now I want one.

[@Captainjkstar]

You should do a sit down full watch review of all your watches. That would be awesome!!

[@scotts1409]

I understand your feeling- that is one hell of a watch. Makes a statement. For me, though, Nautilus keeps me coming back. But this is a real tough comparison. Elegant, strong, yet sport.

[@OGKennyPowers]

Beautiful watch. My choice of AP is the rose gold white dial crono with the brown leather strap. Endless style with classic edge.

[@MrInzeo]

I agree. I can't go wrong with that choice.

[@rousemotorsport]

My favorite watch in my collection at the moment is the AP ROO Diver Chronograph in Orange. Sold my Rolex diver for it. My favorite watch ever.

[@sergepugachov8455]

Fantastic professional review as usual! I feel like to travel to US from Australia just to have a chat to good solid professional

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

This is my grail!!! Congrats my man.

[@DrExeCelticHeroes]

HELL YEAH! another epic vid by eric

[@adamdar5121]

Stunning watch. Which one would you choose between this and the Royal Oak chrono rose with the BLUE dial ?? I’m sure this one is now discontinued as it’s not available on the ap website

[@nickrice7535]

Not a yellow gold fan but this is sure changing my mind. Another good review from CRM

[@johanrwatercolor]

I love the blue dial as well.

[@diabew]

Nice one Eric What piece and colour dial combo in steel is your favourite?

[@dcrump]

Great video, where is this location shot at in Miami, I want to go there when I visit. It looks amazing. Thanks

[@smokey19930209]

Great vid again (only 10 sec in tho) great watch ! Keep em coming

[@Crmjewelers]

Thank you Laszlo!

[@smr32061]

Beautiful watch.

[@MaybachZ]

Eric, what are your thoughts on the 116618lb? Great video btw.

[@jaysuttle1269]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 👍

[@silentrevolver4600]

You are right bro, I have gone through 26320 Blue dial, Had it in yellow Gold and blue dial, even had a 15400 OR, finally after a whole round the world, I finally got the ROC is RG 26320. Forget the 26331, the older version is where is at.

[@Crmjewelers]

So you know what I mean!

[@silentrevolver4600]

@@Crmjewelers loud and clear brother. Had the yellow brick as well, the thing is so heavy, my left hand is now as strong as my right. Got rid of that to partially fund my 5990. Moreover I cant get over how much slicker the ROC bracelet is over a ROO.

[@gpoop]

Beautiful watch

[@stevegreig9434]

Love your Style man... Just curious though, I have this impression Miami is a real crowded city yet there are hardly any people in your waterfront videos. Do you clear the paths, or shoot on a Sunday morning? Gotta visit there myself one day soon - and of course check out CRM Jewellers :)

[@AventusEntertainment]

Nice Eric Awesome watch!!!

[@dappergent9422]

Beautiful Eric

[@Crmjewelers]

Thank you man!

[@yohanbanon9923]

This one and the 5990! However, the 5980 is a 10/10 as well 🔥

[@benm4923]

Can you do a full updated watch collection?

[@robynsjp]

Very nice Eric, just bought myself a very modest 1968 Omega 135027, full original set. Steel rocks too ! Nice vid, missing Miami Beach !

[@Crmjewelers]

Ha, thanks man. Did you use to live in Miami Beach?

[@robynsjp]

@@Crmjewelers nope, employer in europe used to send me there for conferences - Florida and California

[@emadb8380]

Nice watch Eric, my favorite royal oak happens to be a black dial but in steel...

[@bambojet]

My favorite is the blue dial steel sky dweller....This Ap is great as well

[@NikonFM2n]

I like the way you showcase our beautiful City, brother.

[@Crmjewelers]

Thanks man. What part of Miami are you from?

[@NikonFM2n]

@@Crmjewelers We met a few weeks ago when I walked into your shop. I'm from LITTLE HAVANA USA. I collect Hamilton's..

[@joshs3916]

Great video

[@sirgeorgioalastrata4104]

The background is insanely beautiful

[@-Medici]

Nice video, Eric! My fave watch at the moment is the Submariner 116618ln - i just think it looks better with the black dial/bezel. Daily beater is the 114060. I'm more the Rolex type of guy, but i love your AP chrono.

[@TwentyOne_Five]

Your channel has the gold AP Royal Oak angle locked down. Must be a Miami thing. Great video.

[@dakotaxu4792]

Eric, if you were to choose between these two, which would you walk away with? The Rolex Day Date 40 black baguette diamond dial or the Royal Oak 41 in this video? I really need to know

[@jamesarthur6962]

I like the AP, especially this model & have a few in my own person collection (but having a larger wrist I tend to wear the poor mans AP pieces from my collection being the Hublots). But my favourite piece which gets very little wrist time is the Girard-Perregaux Constant Escapement, I love this piece & most people that don't know watches think it is a cheap Swatch Swiss watch.

[@mkprivate7523]

that....is one of the nicest timepieces ever made in my opinion.....GORGIOUS:)

[@BluffCreekStudio]

amazing!

[@Crmjewelers]

Thank you Joe!

[@tyland777]

I might be wrong but on the AP website, you can only choose between the blue and brown dial. I didn't see the black dial.

[@Rawdilla2941]

Very nice watch... Working on the ss black dial myself 😏

[@dechalertsumitkul8066]

Have you done any reviews on AP Royal Oak 38 mm chronograph?

[@agungsaputra1704]

41mm AP in this video versus 5980 patek for invesment...which one will you go for it Eric??

[@JWGT3]

hey Eric, i have a 2018 AP Chrono with the panda dial. Do you recon it will hold value? Or should i sell it and get a rolex instead if I want to keep the value better? I walked in a second hand shop the other day and asked how much they would buy the watch off me, they said only 16K euros... I bought it now in april, seems a low offer.

[@dbattar2400]

Damn that is a siick piece! You rocking it with that watch dude 👌 Y'all dont have any criminals in Miami or what? I would be robbed in a minute with a watch like that over here but would love to have a full rose maybe a little bit smaller than 41 someday. Perfect with chrono for a bit of thickness and sporty style.

[@Peakprospr420]

Do you like stainless steel or gold bracelet? With the new panada chronos which colour do you like the black dial on white or black on white dial

[@manuelsunga1019]

Thanks Eric...

[@servie2101]

AP Royal Oak, Rose Gold vs Original White Gold vs White Gold Chronograph which one to choose why?

[@harraharra6585]

Eric! I have have this watch and i feel great. -)

[@NetMillionaire]

I’m still in debate which to get next, the brick, or this one ☝️. I already have the ROLEX yacht master 11 in yellow gold and the ROLEX sky dweller in yellow gold, also have the Breitling Bentley in rose 48mm. I’m a big guy so my thinking is the rose gold brick? I kinda like bigger watches? They kinda sit well with me...?

[@jameswestconsultant]

AP has serious issues holding power reserve or even winding to the point of reaching the stated power reserve. I’ve owned several and about 1 in 4 have had this issue. Thoughts ? I have never had this issue with Patek, Journe, Rolex......ever.

[@user-el5mg4it9t]

Glad to see Johnny Knoxville also knows his watch stuff very well

[@EyeAmSoul]

I'm looking at a Platinum Rolex. Don't own it yet. But that's where my head is at. I want to add to my comment. I like the AP. I like what you have to say. A couple of things. You said under 50 over 40. O.K., I am a believer in getting the most for my money and a watch that is pre-owned, in new or spotless condition is something that I am not ashamed of. My guy here in Vegas who works at Tourneau, showed me a Platinum Rolex Datejust Presidential. Retail its about $56K or so. The watch he showed me was pristine. Not a mark. Not a smudge. He said he could work w/ me on the price to about $27K. In other words pre-owned, in new condition is the way to go for me. So that begs a little question. What can we get in the watch your talking about but pre-owned in like new condition???

[@DougieFresh13]

My Audemars Piguet 15400 black dial with calibre 3120 is my current number one.

[@nobodysreview6137]

My most worn is Gold Yachtmaster with a diamond bezel i had put on. The stock bezel is ugly, i look amazing with this watch and its perfect, white nipple dial with the little triangle glow marks, that AP is nice, id like one like that in yellow gold

[@RolexReviews]

Gotta love Luxury watches and Miami 😎😎😎

[@Crmjewelers]

Ha thanks man. Yes, they go really well together.

[@k20a2009]

Eric great video!!! AP chrono is a timeless piece. Sorry to say but you guys need to upgrade the camera. The video quality is not so great. If you need any recommendations, look into the Sony a7r III.

I've got the same watch in Stainless Steel, only wear it on weekends!!

[@fabiankunz7599]

What about the 5711 r? It's in the price range and a lot of watch, especially exclusivity, in the same price range. It has an in-house movement, too. Could you do a review on the 5711 in steel and rose?

[@hotohori529]

I have the offshore black dial too but stainless steel

[@jesperthomsen9041]

What’s your opinion on Invicta watches?

[@samadrid6321]

Solid yellow gold just pops with a black dial. Or is it other way 'round?
