PAM 372, IWC Portuguese or DSSD?

Hello All,

I recently tried on the AP Diver and instantly fell in love with it. Unfortunately, I have to trade in one or even two of my watches in order to make the purchase. I currently own a Rolex Deepsea, IWC Portuguese 7 Day and a PAM 372. Which one(s) should I trade in or which one should I definitely hold onto?

I was thinking of trading in the DSSD. It's a great watch in many ways but I don't find it very comfortable...too top heavy and thick. Curious to hear your thoughts.

If it was me I would keep the DSSD and the IWC Portuguese. I like the looks of those watches over the PAM.

I think you have a good collection, not sure I would want to trade 2 pieces for 1. I know it is an AP but still, not convinced. If I had to pick one, it would be rolex, as you say it is too big.

I would keep the DSSD. But you must get the AP diver!

if you have to trade one of what you have to get the AP Diver, i would trade the DSSD without hesitation. if you miss rolex, pick up a submariner down the road.
