Will the potential ROO be worn everyday or part of a rotation? Buying a piece at that level which you find uncomfortable seems silly for an everyday piece when there are so many great models in the highend arena. However, I can understand your feedback/idea if its only going to be worn here or there... Only one guys opinion and good luck!

I would wear it everyday. But I've gotten so much good feedback on this thread that I've made up my mind. So many strong opinions about AP. I'm thinking Ill keep the DD2. It's a good watch to give to one of my sons one day. And I'll buy an AP for everyday use now. I think I'll look into a diver since that's a bit more versatile than the 44. Thanks for the guidance guys.

The Diver is a great everyday watch.

Diver'd be perfect here.

The Panda would be a better fit if you're thinking about size due to it being a smaller size at 42". I'm not sure about the size of the DD2 but it should be similar to my Daytona, and yes I enjoy switching back and forth between the two for dressy/casual occasions.

That diver has really started growing on me. I may sell my Explorer 42 to finance half of it.

Yeah and Im think of selling my Subc for that or the 300.

As for your dilemma... why would you get a watch that's not comfy to you?[/QUOTE]

It sounds like you don't wear your watches anyway so who cares about comfort?

+ 100000, what happened to me after i experience my first AP is that Rolex look very small to me....is this normal syndrome or just me, i dunno..

If a watch is not 100% comfortable on ur wrist, don't buy it !

Keep the Rolex DD the AP 44mm when compared to it lacks a timeless appeal esp if you want to pass to your son ( IMO the rolex will never go out of style with its classic design timeless .. But the AP44mm you never know as its more today current trend but in 10years??)

Keep the DDII and get a Diver

I love the AP. However, I find it a little uncomfortable on my wrist. My question is: do you think the AP 44 will go out of style? I trade up watch's frequently and I'm concerned the large size of the AP will make it unattractive to many in the future.

My friends think I'm nuts for considering getting rid of the President for the AP. My wife thinks I have a sickness since as soon as I obtain a watch, I'm already thinking about the next one.

The fact that you even considered this in such a short time of ownership ... Tells you all you need to know!!

Spot on

You's crazy, don't do it. Don't let others tell you how AP is another level...keep your DD-II.

Fully agree

Yes doc, I'm fully aware of where I am but that ain't going to change my opinion.....his DD-II is one of the most beautiful pieces. I have a 15400 now but if I had the chance to flip it for the DD-II on a good deal, I'd do it in a heart beat...

[masterserg]

Between those 2, I'd keep the DDII.

I'm keeping the DDII and waiting on an AP SS diver. Thanks for the wisdom guys it really was helpful.
