Guys,

Need your opinion here...a friend of mine is proposing a trade here...his AP RO SS 15400 for my Rolex TT Blue Sub C...

Economic wise, I would be on the winning side here....but would I regret it in the future? What is your opinion on this Guys?

Apreciate you kind response here my friends...

Regards,

Al1969 · 13 October 2014, 02:26 PM

Agree, keep the 116613LB

Hi!
If it was me, I'll say "no thanks"

I'd take the 15400, but I'm not a fan of two tone watches.

Eric Chan · 13 October 2014, 02:46 PM

Keep the 116613 LB. Not an AP fan. The LB is and always will be a timeless classic. Once gone from your collection, regret is sure to come down the road.

ssultan · 13 October 2014, 02:46 PM

Take the 15400. It's a gorgeous piece and you can always trade for a bluesy again if you don't end up loving the ap.

This. Your daytona is gold, and can give you that flashier look when you want it.

TheMethod · 13 October 2014, 03:03 PM

I'll take the trade, if you don't like the AP you can always get the bluesy again and have extra money left over.

slashd0t · 13 October 2014, 03:24 PM

I love the AP, but, remember if it needs a service anytime in the near future, you're looking around 3k from AP ... The cost of owning an AP is often forgotten .. Perhaps that's why he's proposing this trade?

A very wise opinion....

sturgeon123456 · 13 October 2014, 03:27 PM

AP

+Worth more
+Less common in the wild
+Sharp

Sub
+Great Looking
+Flashy
-Two Tone Subs do not hold value as well as SS models
-Your sub looks like the powder blue dial? Not as desirable as the new sunburst blue

I would go with AP

This sounds like good advice to me. As for servicing, where does this figure of 3k come from. I was told 1.5k....

luvsub · 13 October 2014, 03:46 PM

Sub

TimeToWatch · 13 October 2014, 03:50 PM

I say do it, like the 15400 better

busytimmy · 13 October 2014, 03:58 PM

3K for an AP service. Holy cow...

Hairdude1 · 13 October 2014, 04:08 PM

AP any day

Muzz · 13 October 2014, 04:50 PM

That is a deal! AP for sure!! As much as I love Rolex the economics of that deal are too good to pass!!!

GermanyMatt · 13 October 2014, 05:01 PM

I would do the trade. If you end up not loving the 15400, I doubt you would have any problem straight trading it for a new 116613LB.

OrangeSport · 13 October 2014, 05:35 PM

I wouldn't. Just don't like ROs I'm afraid.

Singslinger · 13 October 2014, 06:51 PM

I'm a very shallow watch buyer, it's all about looks and appearances to me.

Forget the economics, the trade-in value, the maintenance cost etc. and just ask yourself, would the AP give you more pleasure to look at on your wrist than the TT Sub?

If yes, then do the trade.

Mystro · 14 October 2014, 02:41 AM

That's all that really matters anyway.

Rogdogg · 13 October 2014, 07:01 PM

There is some good advice above about checking on upcoming service that might be needed on the AP. If there is not service required anytime soon I would make the trade. I am not too keen on two-tone watches, even if this is one of the best. What dial option does the AP come with?

travisb · 13 October 2014, 07:04 PM

I'd do it.

jack81 · 13 October 2014, 07:55 PM

The ap 15400 is def very gorgeous. I'd make that trade only if i were certain i would never missed my tt sub. I have tt sub LN right now and if you asked me i wouldnt do that trade coz i am so in love with my tt sub c LN. What ever you decide make sure you are certain.

dennywags · 13 October 2014, 08:48 PM

$3k to service an AP.........now I don't like them even more.

AK797 · 13 October 2014, 08:54 PM

As that TT is not the sunburst I would do the trade.

Really? 3 thousand?, dang!
