Based on bracelets alone, I prefer the beautiful sculpting of the AP. It is purposeful, sharp, and masculine.
The "bubbled" look of the PP's center links turns me off. It reminds me of the bracelets you see on alot of $40 watches. It just looks kind of lazy to me.
So, if leather is out of the question. I would choose the AP.

Well my favorite version is the RG on brown leather, but I haven't it in person and is too much money for me. But for the SS I really like the band. It is gorgeous and comfortable.
Im selling my rolex daytona and have been looking at the AP Royal Oak Skeleton (havent seen that exact model in person but got to try on a Royal Oak Perpetual calender skeleton) and the SS Nautilus (base model).
But I am just curious to hear from people here since there are a lot of experienced watch guys here and im sure some own 1 or both!

everyone calm down!!! Jesus H Christ!!!! Hopefully the attacks are playful
love the RG on brown strap with the power reserve and moon phase. I like the chrono's size and pushers but Im not a big fan of the face/ chrono set up.
I'd like the steel, especially the rose gold with the moon phase but its around 36+ which is more than I want to spend and with no complications its 26k.
I peronally love the PP bracelet. Seeing that watch in person made me realize that photo dont come close to capturing that watch. I also always disliked the PP w/out any complications but seeing it in person its a whole different story. The watch just shines, pops, like a diamond. It really is gorgeous.
So im deciding between the SS Nautilus and this AP RO Skeleton. One reason I lean toward the PP is cause I already have the AP ROO Safari, but I love the Skeleton and have always wanted one. I can look at it for days. Both are similar in price. I was really set on the AP Skeleton but after seeing the Patek in person I melted. I mean I havent gotten that excited over a watch in a bit. I fell in love. I havent been able to try on the AP Skeleton, only the AP perpetual calendar skeleton which felt amazing. Just too expensive and too hard to read imo.
Which to get...this or PP Nautilus ?!?!?!
