don't know where to post but..

[willz15]

here it goes..
Input needed from fellow forumers. I'm thinking of getting back into the AP fold, through the 15400ST( still can't decide which coloured dial). But in order to do that, I would need to let go of a couple of watches from the current collection.

As it stands, I have 2 PAM, 372 and 292, and a rolex GMTIIC in my small collection.

I was thinking of letting go of the 292, and the GMTIIC for a direct trade, or a little top up from myself.

what would you do? quantity over quality or vice versa?

thanks

To me always quality over quantity!!

[Nitedeuce]

I would have a hard time letting the only Rolex go, especially the GMT! Is it possible to let one PAM go and save a bit more for the AP? Then you would have a very diverse collection. Many people would be very happy with a PAM, Rolex GMT and AP RO three watch collection.

Quality... Just flipped 2 Rolex for one AP....Havent regret so far:-)

Id get rid of a Rolex and a Panerai, either one. You won't regret it!

I'd pick an AP over a Rolex and a PAM anyday.

With a 15400, you don't need the GMTIIc anymore. They both fill the same "style" spot and we all know which one wins that battle. I think one PAM and the 15400 will complement each other great and cover a lot of different situations from sport to dressy.

I guarantee, you will never look back from the 15400. I recently got a ROC and it was well worth it.

Definitely go for quality over quantity. You will only wear one at a time anyways.

Vpr80... Very Well put

[QueueCumber]

Quality.........

[bayerische]

I want to be a one watch guy, and I think my AP ROC will help me do just that!

[Submarino]

Always quality over quantity! I let go a SD, IWC Mission Earth on SS bracelet and an IWC Aquatimer on rubber to get my Diver. Well worth it!!!

As answered by VPR80 below, they are too similar. I wouldn't flip the gmt if were to get a ROO.

[Rolex Freak]

I'd lose the GMT and 292 as well. You won't regret the AP.

It's better to have a few you love and want to where everyday than to have many that only get your heart beating faster for a few minutes.

[kilyung]

As everyone says, trade Rolex+Panerai for the AP.

[Hairdude1]

I would flip the GMTII and a Pam any day of the week for an AP!

that is the expected destination Ken, jut don't know when will i reach there


Well, i know what to do now, but which dial? I plan to make it into a dress watch and will probably switch the bracelet to a leather strap, OEM preferred.

Thomas, would you mind PMing me the rough price of the parts needed to convert it to OEM leather strap?

thanks

Why not flip both Panerais and keep the GMT? That's what the watch snob would do.

I considered that, but somehow, even though i would not call myself a paneristi, and i would probably never be as loyal as some of them are to the brand, i still find panerai as one of the best all rounder watch, and would still like to have at least one in my ever changing collection, just because, its easy to change straps and change the look of the watch IMHO, no matter how other people say it still looks the same, i can have dressed up, or dressed down and still not look out of place wearing it. I have not been into panerai for a long time, just over a year, but I like how they have a community of their own and you can start a conversation with just about any stranger just because you both are wearing a panerai.

sorry for the long rant, i appreciate the input but somehow, i have never agreed to most of the WatchSnob's opinion on some brands, thus, whether its the 292, or 372, i will still have one in my collection.

I just have too much extra straps to consider letting my PAMs go!

In that case keep the 372. The 249 with the California dial would be nice too, now if you had one of those I wouldn't advise you to sell at all.

Quality over quantity, any day!!

Although a large quantity of quality, wins hands down!!
