Either the SD or if you had to go for an AP, then the 15202, not the 15400.

I might replace the SD with the 43mm SD, but not the AP

SD4K is classic all around-er...Love the AP but I would keep the SD4K and add AP Blue 15400 or 15202 as funds allow.

I've actually been looking lately at the AP RO 15400 myself. It is a nice classy watch.

That's overwhelming responses in < 24 hours!

Most of you think I should choose the SD if not at least keep it and add the RO later. I actually do have the SD43 as well. That's why I am wondering if I should keep both the SD43 and the SD4000. I want to replace one of them as a daily sport watch that works well with semi-formal attire (that's why RO is in the picture).

I considered buying the SD4K and I would still love to add one if it wasn't for the crazier prices right now.

If you need to sell the SD4K for the 15400, I would personally do so. However, if you don't have to I would certainly find a way to keep the SD4K and buy the 15400.

Both watches complement each other.

If you’re not wearing the SD, go for the AP.
On another level.

Absolutely not. I'd never sell a 116600 if I had one. Especially not for an AP.

SD. The AP has too many hard angles. Looks like a watch my kid would make in Minecraft.

Very different watches indeed. Personally I prefer a Rolex as it feels more tool/less fussy. U if it doesn’t work for you/lifestyle/ style then I don’t see why not switching around. Wear what you love, life’s too short.

I do feel the SD is more robust and “raw” that it will age better. And over time I’m not surprised if the SD actually worths the same as the RO too?

I'd personally keep the Sea-Dweller, but I'm not a Royal Oak fan.

SD, will be relatively rare. To me it's much better looking too.

AP RO - it is a very versatile watch that can be dressed up or worn casually.

You absolutely keep that 116600...yeah the AP is beautiful but the SD is just an all around tank...not even a question...my 116600 is the only modern ceramic reference I dig...I must admit though, I love my 16600 even more !! As stated above, flip it and you will have wished you hadn’t

The OP is referring to the 116600 not the 116660..

I'd keep the SD4K... In the long run you won't regret it.
