Contemplating a trade vs an AP ROO 44mm, wife think I am stupid as she have dubbed the blue sub as the ultimate summer watch. Maybe she’s right.

HiBoost · 29 July 2021, 02:48 AM

I tend to agree with your wife. The Sub is iconic. The Bluesy is a stunning, fun variant of it. AP bores the hell out of me. Their entire brand consists of rehashing the same watch over and over. It looks like a boat portal. I get it. You guys got anything else up your design sleeve? Anything at all??

brandrea · 29 July 2021, 02:52 AM

Is adding the AP an option OP?

Add or keep at it is. Bluesy is TOP!

Blue TT Sub is mesmerizing.

You can sell it,but you will return to it .Personal experience .Just a question of time.

So true, I have bought and sold it twice. On my 3rd bluesy now and will keep forever this time around.

Polar ExpII is, ironically, the ultimate summer watch.

Cmon man you can’t get rid of this! Yes that’s a white fuzz down by six, not a scratch lol

NO way I would trade that, and yes it just might be the ultimate Sumer watch (for a Rolex).

Wife is right and the blue sub is iconic.

Harry-57 · 29 July 2021, 04:58 AM

If you don't want it, then you don't want it. There are plenty of homes who will gladly take it.

Personally I'd keep it. But it's not my watch.

jiffi · 29 July 2021, 05:10 AM

Thank you all! Will keep and add the ROO at later point!

Good man. The Bluesy is the best "fun" watch out of the entire catalogue, IMHO.

Bigmozza · 29 July 2021, 05:41 AM

You’re wife is 100% right the Bluesy is definitely the ultimate summer watch hands down it’s stunning the blue sunburst dial is amazing

Mystro · 29 July 2021, 05:50 AM

I rocked a Bluesy as my every day watch for over 10 years. It can do anything and I took it on several dozen dives in that time frame. I even had one guy on the dive in the mid 90’s say my watch might break on the dive and I just laughed.

Mine did just fine in the snow.

The blue of the 16613 is darker and deepter than the blue of the 116613! Love that blue of your watch.

I’m no diver but definitely did very well with the blow back from my snow blower this past Feb.

I would never trade a Rolex for any AP.

Listen to the better half. Maybe for a RO you can self select to sleep in guest room as needed.

My thought as well. Other than RO & its variant, what else is there in an AP?!?!

Likewise. I wore this as my daily for 5 years. This is one of only a few Rolex models I like.
