Everyone is talking about AP being to delicate or not for every occasion,they can use Rolex more etc. All he is saying is that AP is another level of watch making. I think he explains why in this 6 minute video 😂

[@closer71]

@KEPLER - 666 The 37mm, 39mm and 41mm Royal Oaks - gold or steel - are solid. Quite robust. Same as any Nautilus or Aquanaut. However, the movements in the older 36mm case models, like the 14xxx references and the Nick Faldo, etc. are VERY delicate. Those movements need service often. And each service is a minimum of $2,000 to $2,500.

[@underdog5081]

Darren Reed I have a wonderful relationship with my AD. In regards to my watch collection, specifically my Rolex, I already had a Submariner “Swiss” only that is 21 years old. To that I added the DJ 41 blue dial with fluted bezel, the Root Beer, and recently Hulk. All from AD. I’m pretty patient and not in a rush. I like the fact that it’s become hard to get. Makes it more exclusive. I’ve been very lucky.

[@scorpianbliz]

Great video, I was skeptical at first...A lot of legitimate points and now I completely understand the appeal of AP, Patek VC. But, I personally, still prefer my Submariner & Explorer 1 over those other brands.

[@lecorsaire2283]

My only problem with the Royal Oak is that it’s a little too delicate. Brand new nothing else looks like a nice gold/rose gold one. After it gets polished a few times it just doesn’t look the same. The gold and platinum sports Rolex will hold up extremely well no matter how much they’re abused.

[@Crmjewelers]

Like I said, Rolex is definitely more durable

[@Hi_Chew]

AP is definitely a higher level brand. Despite the sub being the cheapest in my collection, I love it the most. So durable, accurate and versatile. Rolex is definitely at the next level in terms of quality. I can see the dint my sub put on the door jamb but can’t figure out which part of the watch did it.

[@jacklmd]

I want to buy an AP for my first watch. 15500 vs Diver. Any recommendation?

[@jamesge8087]

fairly recent view you're sharing on AP, it has been made fashionable by Hollywoodsters in let's say the previous decade, no one touched APs in the 90s and early 00s unless they were bored by a DayDate and you could easily buy them with 20% off msrp, the design of the RO is from the same designer as the most popular Patek AP are a p to maintain and far more delicate than Rolex, at least the older models, the higher price and as some say better finishing of the internals (haven't looked inside of one) do not make it a better watch, just a more of a statement compared to fairly ubiquitous Rolex (have several myself, so don't read this is a critique) Thoughts on the Code11:59 ?

Don’t make me laugh AP is in a completely different league to Rolex🤦🏻‍♂️

[@napalmjames7858]

Rolex is yesterday's news and too conservative for everyday casual wear . It is more appropriate for suits and the elegant look but AP is definitely unique from a design standpoint and progressive. The NBA is an elite league that only has the best 400 players in the world. That's equivalent to AP whereas everyone (including my old man) has a Rolex. Yeah Rolex is in a different league where Mass Production to survive is their strategy. I don't work in Corporate America anymore so an AP is definitely more stylish and more appealing than a Rolex.

Eric, Love your videos. Keep them coming! In this case, both of these brands have excellent heritage. I think most would agree that AP is a more refined and avant gard watch maker, but it's hard to argue with Rolex's durability, wear ability in all situations with timeless design. Most Rolex's have the same characteristics dating back decades and people still love them. I like the Royal Oak, but lets see how it fairs 30 years from now. The most exclusive clientele in the watch collector world is the one who paid over $30 mil on a Rolex. There both great, just go with the one that speaks to you!

[@Lilsus2006]

Ap has the weight in metal like Rolex or it’s light?

The trouble with nice dress watches from VC, AP, Patek and Lange is that they re just too fragile and delicate. Get them wet or a little bump/knock and its a huge repair bill !

[@kyle618]

exactly

[@pietpiet6006]

Well with getting them wet it’s fine, I have a Royal Oak and is completely water resistant. Ofcourse I dont go diving with it but jumping in a pool is fine. I regards to the damage; yes they are more delicate, mine is about 6 years old ( bought it new) and it has some decent scratches and bumps. But even tho it still looks good, and its part of life with a watch. Haven’t service it but will probably wait very long with polishing it in oder to keep it’s edgy and sharp shapes. Just opinion. Rolex is nice but personally i dont like the fact that many people have them, the AP does not get recognized, only bu connoisseurs. What do you think about this?

To me, Rolex always keeps it classic, but at the same time boring, too flat, too within the norm, etc. The only one Rolex I find somewhat original is the Cellini moonphase. AP is always pushing their design limits.

[@lecorsaire2283]

Keeping it classic is why Rolex is Rolex and why as a brand no other watch does as well. AP’s ROs and Patek’s Nautilus and Aquanaut do very well but each brand could only wish for the demand that Rolex has across their entire lineup. Patek heavily limits the Nautilus to keep the hype and market price super high. Before they really started controlling supply you could buy the blue one for 24k all day. Not long ago either. As late as early 2017. And the main reason for that is that they make minor changes. A Submariner and Day-Date from 1965 look very similar to a 2020 Submariner and Day-Date. Sure sapphire crystal, improved bracelets, improved higher accuracy and power reserve movement, better finishing but still very much the same watch. Brands that change their watches too much or make too many models don’t do so well like Omega.

Classic is key. It means it’s timeless designs will outlast any AP.

[@ronbarter2381]

by designs you mean the ONE design in use since the 70s???

[@anthony90123]

I agree with your logic and by that ALS is the next level of AP

[@markphillips2072]

Wouldn't the Y.M. chronograph calendar watch be the most complicated ?

[@Viallineo]

Brilliant video as always 👍 love watching your videos. Your views are very articulately put and well considered. Completely agree with your view 😊

If you put in the back a rap track, it’ll look like Erik is singing it.

The main reason is they are even harder to obtain at retail than a Rolex because they make so little of them. I personally don't like the hex screws on the front so have no interest in owning one. On the other hand how many Rolex mods can possibly have a waiting list, they may not be considered top of the tree horologically but in terms of desirability no one else is even close.

I just noticed you made it to 100,000 subscribes. Congrats!

Mr. Inzeo all AP owners

[@althafmee]

Rolex day date is always the best. Classy. Definitely Rolex and then AP.

[@Zzzzzzzzz253]

Price?

[@richardokeefe3943]

No offense my friend I'll stick with my Rolex. Good video.😊

[@okihaveaname]

Rolex was the AP of my granddad's generation. They stopped being "forward thinking" in the 80's.

[@Crmjewelers]

Interesting point

[@clivebenjamin3452]

But nothing much changed with ap either since the Royal Oak came out it’s been the exact same so don’t know what your talking about. The fact is none of them have changed expect the price. And Rolex actually uses higher grade 904steel ap uses 316 which is same as any shit watch

[@okihaveaname]

@@clivebenjamin3452 AP has applied different trends, like a skeletized perpetual and using ceramic. Rolex has not kept it interesting.

[@mrsmith8224]

CRM Jewelers sure it is as it’s against Rolex

[@mubarak3457]

Totally agree with him !!!! I myself own a Royal Oak Off shore .... just to mention that Richard Mille mouvement is made by AP since they own a stake with that brand ....

[@robynsjp]

Nice vid ! Waves full original and complete 1968 Omega 135.027 from Frankfurt. Found this treasure at vintage boutique near Venice Italy selling vintage toasters, furniture and a handful of watches... Not worth AP or Roro, but 1960s sports diver is absolute treasure on my wrist.

[@jesuschrist8069]

In the words of Dan bilzerian “rolexes are like corvettes everyone has one” I defianetly like my ap and Patek more than any Rolex I had. When I would wear my Rolex everyone would ask if it’s fake or not but when I have my ap and Patek no one ever asks because they don’t get faked as much

[@Crmjewelers]

I like that

[@atn2666]

Definitely my favourite brand even thought I don’t own one yet.

[@jeanctaveras]

Any comments or thoughts one Zenith? Not sure if it’s becoming more well known here in the US, or it’s because I’m becoming more interested.. 😅
