My friendly AD delivered me a Novelty Rose Gold which I wasn't quite ready for as I have had a few other incomings recently. I have owned one before (albeit not the newer 26401 version), and of course it is a fabulous watch. Still all stickered up etc..

Should I keep it or sell it? Anyone want it if the latter?

AK797 · 26 September 2014, 10:15 AM

I don't think you will keep it.

texex91 · 26 September 2014, 10:38 AM

Roger, I own RG 44 and of course it's amazing, but I have a feeling once you're into the RM world, as you are, AP might not satisfy the appetite.

Albeit, AP 44MM is one that I think should be in ANY rotation. One of the best AP's--period.

lapince · 26 September 2014, 10:39 AM

I personnally don't like ROO's, whatever the model, so I would say sell it...

kissfromarose · 26 September 2014, 11:36 AM

I am with Paul. I wonder if there will be a day when my 44mm RG Novelty does not bring me joy... you are at another level Roger :).

lipjin · 26 September 2014, 12:35 PM

Depends on the other incomings:) starting to look at the rOO line after being indifferent for a long while - can see the appeal for the sports segment

Hairdude1 · 26 September 2014, 01:10 PM

I say no as you stated you already owned one and flipped it. Plus you're in the RM camp and loving it from what I read. Keep the RM's coming

conkers · 26 September 2014, 02:46 PM

Thanks guys appreciate it! Mulling it over.

Very wise words Jen. I pressed the master reset about 8 weeks ago and sold everything bar a ROO beater. However fate was working against me and I have had three incomings over the last few days! No more for now I hope! Unless the 5131 arrives of course! Or a bargain from one of my friendly dealers!

Hamish · 26 September 2014, 05:55 PM

Sell it and rebuy the platinum 44

The very fact that you have put it out here for opinions, speaks for itself. Had you really wanted it there would have been no need for reassurance. I say the answer you want is a no.

conkers · 27 September 2014, 01:10 AM

Thanks everyone appreciate the input!

That's some deep psychobabble stuff!

I do have a degree in Psychology. Clearly it isn't self applied.

Colin W · 27 September 2014, 05:18 AM

I would definitely keep it, but that's me - however Roger you are at a higher level so for you it has to be a No.
Do you still have a Plat Schumi, seem to recall a post that you had one, now that I would say keep😄

wow quite a week for you !!1

el1125 · 27 September 2014, 06:16 AM

I own many much higher priced watches and I still love my novelty 44 RG. I use it mainly as my "beater" but I really don't beat it up. It is one of the nicest looking watches AP has ever made IMHO. You can go do anything with it. However Roger with you rotation in and out of some great pieces, I would caution you personally as others have said.

GB-man · 27 September 2014, 08:11 AM

Give it back unless someone wants it then win win

conkers · 27 September 2014, 11:47 AM

Now on holiday for a week. Will decide when I get back. Platinum Schuey went sadly as part of a huge trade. I agree with El on this piece and when the novelty (pun intended) of my RMs has worn off a little I am sure I will be happy to own this classic AP.

Don't think the RM11 'novelty' will wear off too soon...but the AP and RM can co-exist quite nice IMHO.

Randy · 27 September 2014, 10:26 PM

Funny how we WIS's own a stunning piece only to flip it, miss it, rebuy same watch at later date. I had my first 44RG and sold it, regretted selling it, purchased another and I'm keeping this one! I say keep it!!!

conkers · 28 September 2014, 12:37 AM

You may well be right Randy!

JorgeCCW · 28 September 2014, 01:06 AM

It's fate is to sell it, the only reason to keep it is if you like it more than your RM. Which I doubt.
