Horological Meandering

Among the great casual watches out there—and there are many of them—the AP Royal Oak and VC Overseas are two standouts. Comfortable, sporty watches that can be worn in a variety of settings. There is no need to tinker with the Royal Oak Jumbo and Overseas...  

I guess the chopard alpine eagle tourbillon is in the same category. Amongst those the AP is the most technically accomplished, rd3 is way ahead of both the competition and the previous generation royal oak tourbillons. Esthetically - very much a personal... 

Visually the VC with incorporated Maltese cross looks more stunning to me. Not sure I’d go with sports tourb if I were getting one, but these are both lovely.

Many will have the dilemma of choosing which to bring home. But you have the dilemma of which to put on your wrist on some mornings 😄

AP might have better value retention but I prefer the aesthetics of the VC.
