I am about to pull the trigger for a third watch. I currently have an AP 15400 Blue dial and Ebel 139 Tekton. (You are probably questioning why would he even have an Ebel in the collection? Because I received as a gift).
I narrowed down my choices to Rolex Daytona white face, Rolex Submariner LV, Pre-owned AP Diver, or IWC Ingenieur. I will appreciate your inputs!

I'd go for the AP Diver. I got mine a week ago and LOVE IT!!! Trust me you won't regret it. As for the others you mentioned you can always get later down the road.

AP SS diver, without a doubt.

koveras · 16 March 2014, 06:05 PM

If everyday watch,go for Submariner LV, if not,go for AP diver.

Jim12345 · 16 March 2014, 06:06 PM

All nice choices and Im a big fan of the IWC Ingy, but the AP diver is the one to go for, love mine.

I see you all lean toward the AP. Honestly, it is in the top of the list, but since it will a pre-owned acquisition I am having a second thought!

Cru Jones · 16 March 2014, 07:36 PM

A sports Rolex is always good to have. I would take the LVc over the LV, though.

BlueRoyaloak · 16 March 2014, 07:39 PM

Here are wrist shots of the Diver and the Sub LV

BlueRoyaloak · 16 March 2014, 07:43 PM

I apologize for the low quality of the pics!

AK797 · 16 March 2014, 09:46 PM

I would def choose the Diver over these, I may even choose it over the Smurf in the future.

VICI · 17 March 2014, 06:30 PM

Did you try the AP on? No comparison to the others.

If you want a beater, go for the sub.

BlueRoyaloak · 17 March 2014, 06:46 PM

I have tried it on and didn't want to get of my wrist!!
It feels sensational..

You have your answer!

benlee · 17 March 2014, 07:01 PM

Diver +1

bayerische · 17 March 2014, 07:20 PM

AP Diver.

HL65 · 17 March 2014, 08:06 PM

I am surprised that people overwhelmingly chose Diver here in AP Forum...Shocker!

If you love the Diver you have your answer!

sebastien1975 · 17 March 2014, 08:19 PM

Sub for me. I do not like pre-owned, even a diver.

I am affraid I agree with the rest here...AP Diver
Looks wonderful on your wrist by the way

texex91 · 17 March 2014, 11:26 PM

Depends how old the Diver is...be careful on pre-owned AP's.

If too old, I'd take Sub. or upgrade to factory new Diver.

I found one being sold by DAVIDW and it looks like new.

What could be the issue of buying a pre-owned APs?

If it is under warranty, nothing. I bought mine from David as well.

One must have a SUB in the collection, so that gets my vote.

It look brilliant with a bracelet!

GB-man · 18 March 2014, 12:51 PM

My preference would be for the sub since you have a 15400. Likely due to my bias towards RO vs ROO. As mentioned, I would spring for a ceramic version, unless you dislike the look then I can understand.

Edit: then again hairdude ^ has clearly made a better case than me I digress....

CWIN · 18 March 2014, 02:56 PM

I think a sub would be a nice compliment to your RO.
