AP is my favourite brand, how about try steel instead of Gold or a leather band, something to mix up the collection?
Spoiler!
Also this Patek might sway you: Patek Philip Nautilus, same designer (Genta) as the AP Royal Oak.

If I were to go for a leather/rubber band, I'd probably go with Hublot Big Bang;

Two very different watches though, one is more your casual daily (Hublot) while one is more of a statement/classy watch (AP, if going with the gold).
I'm not too into steel, I mean, those AP watches in steel or white gold cost a fukn fortune. You're honestly better off going for a gold watch that at least won't depreciate in cost (price of gold will continue to rise).
I've got some thinking to do!

I have the two tone yachtmaster ii and it is a beast man. Rolex's biggest watch, right?
Personally, I would do something not gold for your third piece, AP 15202 Ultra thin, almost got one last week but some A**HOLE beat me to it…18 month wait list at my dealer now

The Yachtmaster II is such a boss watch. My Oyster Perpetual Day-Date got a lot of compliments, but the Yachtmaster II got 10x more. It stands out due to its size.
I'm thinking Hublot Big Bang like the ones I posted above - I need at least SOME gold lol.

And yea that's what I'm leaning towards also, AP's are beautiful pieces.

On the topic of vintage Rolex watches: I spotted a watch at a local resale shop and was wondering if it's legit or not. Based on these photos, what say ye MWC?
The watch had a lil' bit of heft to it, wasn't able to check the case for markings / serial as I didn't have a tool on me to pop out the bracelet - plus the workers at the shop would probably panic if they saw me taking off the band. The crown logo at 12 o'clock looks a little bit rough and the hands have a crude shape to them also - I'm assuming it's a fake.

Looking for a versatile watch brahs. Nothing too expensive for now. Under $200 preferably. Something that I can wear with casual and business casual attire, and something that will look good with black or blue clothes. Don't care about the mechanics TBH

I know y'all got tired of people maybe talking about Rolexes and Speedys, but I was in Austin this weekend and went to a Men's Boutique and saw these two Speedmasters HNNGGG
Now I want to get a vintage Speedmaster for my birth year (1983). Any good sites where I search online and find something at a reasonable price?

sword I would start by browsing watchrecon. You'll have the biggest database to go by. But finding that specific year you may want to make a watchuseek account and make a wanted to buy thread. Good luck man

Definitely watchrecon, you'll be able to find a 1983 if you're not in a rush. And it'll have dat hnnng tritium lume as opposed to the modern one in your pic. The automatic Speedies don't do a thing for me - the Pro is the one to get out of those two.
If you find a used one elsewhere, ask for a legit check here for 350 confirmations.
Also, birth year concept is awesome, but the hnnnnnnngest Speedies are even older than 1983.
