I have been browsing this forum for a while now, which has underpinned my recent purchase of the beautiful ROO 44 RG. Facing with a new dilemma which I could not decide, I'm turning to seek wisdom from all of you, watch fans.

Today, my AD called an offered a chance to by one of my dream watchs, the Rose Gold 15305. But, having bought the 44 RG, I'm thinking about trading my 5980 for it.

What do you guys think? Is it worth it? Your thoughts are very much appreciated!

Here, I'm leaving you with pics of watches under my collection, perhaps as reference for you kind comments. Thanks again!

Keep the 5980 and chance that you will regret in future is high.

HL65 · 17 April 2015, 07:49 PM

I would never even think about that but to each his own.

troongta · 17 April 2015, 09:08 PM

Thanks for your input so far. I'd like to add the reasons I'm thinking about trading 5980 are 1) I'd like variety in my collection, skeleton is another new category in my book 2) it's suffice to have one chrono which is the recently added 26401 and 3) I like the feel of AP jumbo.

masterserg · 17 April 2015, 11:52 PM

I would keep the Patek in this case.

Vipes · 17 April 2015, 11:59 PM

I would keep the 5980 and trade the 44mmRG for the 15305.

GB-man · 18 April 2015, 12:00 AM

I won't stop you as I much prefer a 15305r to a 5980. It's a thing of beauty.

el1125 · 18 April 2015, 01:03 AM

I'd keep what is shown here on these images

samuelhuntington · 18 April 2015, 01:48 AM

I would keep a pp in the stable. Very nice collection you have. Congrats!

soundserious · 18 April 2015, 04:16 AM

I would never make that trade. But hey, your call mate.

Le Chef · 18 April 2015, 04:19 AM

I would keep the 5980, trade the ROO and get the 15305.

jjnd08 · 18 April 2015, 04:37 AM

I'd stay as is; you have a fantastic collection.

AK797 · 18 April 2015, 04:39 AM

I'd trade the 5980 to the blue dial or the TT so you don't get tempted again.

APRolex · 18 April 2015, 04:57 AM

I'd keep the PP & save for the RO.

Well... There is your answer.

Like Ken says.. To each their own. You have strong reasons for the trade. Good Luck.

grrr · 18 April 2015, 10:54 AM

Such a nice collection

texex91 · 18 April 2015, 10:59 AM

Think your collection is perfect as is...

lapince · 18 April 2015, 11:34 AM

Very very cool trio, the RG is hot

Hairdude1 · 18 April 2015, 12:04 PM

I would keep the 5980

red1108nyc · 18 April 2015, 12:27 PM

For me, no.

red1108nyc · 18 April 2015, 12:28 PM

sorry posted twice by accident!

troongta · 18 April 2015, 01:09 PM

Wow, thanks for all of your kind comments! I hear most of you loud and clear and am keeping all my watches for now. Trading One-Eyed Chrono..how could I even thought about that!? :) Doing so will also reduce the versatility of my currently limited collection.
Having seriously thought about it, as nice as 15305rg may be, I still can't imagine it share a fair amount of wrist time as its brothers. Nonetheless, it will well remain my dream watch, which I may attempt to acquire again in the future. Thanks again!

lapince · 18 April 2015, 01:50 PM

I wouldn't do it, you would have 3 AP if you did, I would keep the Patek even though it's not my favorite Nautilus

gummy · 18 April 2015, 02:46 PM

I don't think I could part with my 5980...

huge congrats on the 44mm RG!
