Would you trade Pepsi/Sub for AP 15550ST?
Long time Rolex enthusiast but always craving for an AP. Being smaller wrist I found a mint condition AP RO 15550ST 37 mm asking for $33K.
I am thinking of trading my mint Sub no date and brand new BLRO for the AP. What would you do? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

i would do it, just make sure the AP is actually mint and hasn't been polished for retail

i have a 15450 so i'm biased but i just feel like it's a much more special watch than those 2, and if one of those is a safe queen you should trade it for something you want to wear. love mine and will never sell it

I would do it if it’s just a value proposition. The current Price to get out of both of these watches is below 33,000.
But, from an enthusiast perspective, I would look at the rest of my collection first. I have all three of these watches at the same time. I don’t think my AP can replace the place my GMT or sub takes. However, I can definitely replace datejust or OP in my collection. Then, between the no date and the GMT, I would probably get rid of the no date. Because the GMT is essentially a submariner date with a different bezel and an extra hand. If I really wanted a node submariner, I’d probably go back to a 5513 and before. Also, functionally, both my submariner, and my GMT are beaters. I really don’t think this AP can take much. |

Lately I rarely wearing all my watches and thinking of narrowing down to 2 favorite watches. I have a new white dial 116520 that I haven’t worn since new. But I want something else beside Rolex hence this AP fit the bill because it’s an AP. Sub is my daily beater and Pepsi just sat in the safe. However, I am looking to add at least $4K more for the trade Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

$4k for the trade - sounds about right.
Sure. Just want to sell 2 watches you don’t wear to get something you want, that’s very logical. Quote:

If you paid MSRP for these then I would. Question is will you be happy with getting rid of 2 watches and having that one.

No way. IMO - would take Rolex over AP any day.

I would not do that trade. I have the BLRO and it is my favorite SS watch. I recently sold my 15450. I did really like the AP but wasn't getting much wrist time so moved on. If you have the funds, sell the Sub and get the AP

I would not do it. I previously owned a 15300 which I sold 10 years ago. I now wish I would have kept it but I sold it because it was quite the scratch magnet and I was not in love with it.
I just can’t come to grips giving up those two classic Rolexes for one AP. |

It all depends on the wrist size tbh. I am at 6.4inches and for me 37mm AP is too small, 41mm is too large, while 39mm is too expensive :D
That is why I went for a PM OF Daytona and loving it so far. OF and ceramic bezel are way more practical than AP and overall watch feels at least equally special to SS AP RO. |

No way would I do that trade; two iconic Rolexes for one Royal Oak just doesn't make sense to me. I think you'll regret losing the BLRO.

I had the larger 15400 AP and after a year or so it didn’t feel right to me. I sold the AP for a bit more than I paid. Was shocked that 3-4 years later they were going for 3-4 times what I paid new. I prefer the Sub and BLRO.

Easily yes. I sold my Pepsi on jubilee to fund my 26240st blue dial.
Once you go ap…. It’s hard to go back |

Would you trade Pepsi/Sub for AP 15550ST?
What color 15550?
I daily a 124270 Explorer and own a grey dial 15550. I think the Explorer makes for a much better daily wear watch, most Rolex do IMO because they still look good with a life time of wear. The finishing and brush work on the RO is pretty special and I wouldn’t want to beat on it in the same way. Id keep a Rolex for daily wear and add AP if I was you. That Pepsi would be a strong contender but the modern sun is magnificent. ..Explorer, Spring Diver & APRO.. |

Whilst I’m not a fan of the BRLO, I don’t think I’d do that trade.
