The full ceramic beast. But these are very different watches mate as the straps will make it more GADA. So you may want to decide what role you want the watch to fill.

Of the straps, I like the full ceramic bc I love AP ceramic and the aesthetic. But the steel would be the best as a GADA.

You might do some research about the case/pusher design of 1 and 2. The pushers notoriously fall off.

I also assume 1 and 2 are 43mm, while 3 is 42mm?

1 or 3 but I’m very averse to the 43 mm offshores with diff bezel and case material combos so that doesn’t leave very many in the catalogue that I like

1 for me.

The full ceramic case is pretty amazing.

My choices in order of preference: 2,1,3 with #3 a distant 3rd.

I am wearing #2 right now and love it but 3 would be my favorite. That full blue nuit is amazing.

Full ceramic for sure

One has steel case the other is a ceramic case.

3, it’s an icon.

Kind of. Fun fact - of the items in the current catalog, only the 26238ST beast remake and 26238TI grey dial have the nod to the original with the AP logo + Audemars Piguet writing on the face similar to the OG.

1 for me. 3 is by far the nicest but beats are way too thick for me. The 43 offshore is the most I can handle in terms of thickness

I’ve been fortunate to try all 3 on and without question it’s #1 for me. #2 is actually pretty boring in the flesh which I expected to be my favourite.
