Is Audemars Piguet better than Rolex?

Something went wrong. Wait a moment and try again.

[QUOTE=AEV;12667884]Title says it pretty straightforward. I started with Rolex but in the past 1.5 years, 3 out of my last 4 purchases have been AP.
Top 3 have completely “ruined” the bottom 3 for me to the extent that I don’t feel like even pulling them out of the watch roll. I already sold my RG Olive DD, and I am now contemplating to sell the last 3 Rolexes.

Has anyone, especially more experienced collectors, been in a similar situation?
I feel I might regret it down the line.

I hope this doesn’t come across as snobby.
I am genuinely looking for opinions / advice.

Funny that you mention it. I am in exactly the same situation. Last two years have bought 5 Audemars Piguet. Also some Rolex watches. I already had some Rplex watches.

Last month sold most of the Rolex. I just enjoy AP so much more. In the way they look and are made.

Another reason for me is that the past years, Rolex has gotten a certain "image" in my opinion.

So I can relate to your thoughts!
