Well...that time has come where I'm seriously considering getting ahold of my first AP. One that I have admired for a while. Thinking about flipping a couple of my Rolexes to put it in the collection.

Just wanted to see what you guys thought. My BLNR (bought this month) and a Milgauss (circa 2014) for an I series AP ROO Diver.

Just the thought of finally getting an AP gets me pumped.

What does everyone think??

I would keep the BLNR. You will miss it.

EIE0053 · 29 April 2015, 01:00 PM

Tough because BLNR is sexy but the finishing on the diver and AP in general is amazing. Go with whatever makes you happy wearing it.

Hairdude1 · 29 April 2015, 01:02 PM

Go with your gut, if you are cool flipping two for one do it! You can always get another BLNR

lipjin · 29 April 2015, 02:24 PM

If you're thinking of flipping the blnr this early, obviously it doesn't sing to you. Flip it and enjoy the AP

do the switch!!, or u might wanna consider ROO chrono as well. the 2014 novelties look nice esp the black panda. price point are about a few grand apart.

dhermidar · 29 April 2015, 03:38 PM

I will keep the BLNR and save for the Diver

lapince · 29 April 2015, 04:55 PM

I would get the ceramic diver, it looks awesome IRL

benlee · 29 April 2015, 06:21 PM

I will not hesitate to flip Rolex to AP if I have multiple Rolex watches. AP is just a whole new level. However, I will keep at least one Rolex as a daily.

AP is great, but, i wouldn't trade a BLNR and MG for a Diver....It would need to be something more special to lose those two great Rolexes.

for example jumbo?

Diver is worth it.

00pumpkin · 29 April 2015, 11:10 PM

What other watches do you own? I would probably keep the BLNR and flip the milgauss + cash for the Diver if it were me.

Manofsteelpt · 29 April 2015, 11:26 PM

BLNR is one of my fav Rolex models, but I would dump it without thinking twice for an AP... Once you get your 1st AP, you'll understand.

Yes. Or the ceramic diver.

I would keep the BLNR otherwise.

Flip the Rolexes if you no longer like/wear them and pick up the Diver. I flipped my BLNR to pick up my 15300 and only regret it a little bit

In an ideal world, I'd hold on to the BLNR and flip the Milgauss and save for the Diver.

Exactly. I just picked up my first AP 2 days ago and already thinking of adding another! They are amazing!

Snow-Dweller · 30 April 2015, 03:30 AM

In the last 6 months I've sold my SS Daytona, WG DD, and Milgauss GV. I still have my old TT Sub (rarely worn) and 216570 Polar.

3 months ago I bought a steel 15400 and a Diver. I adore them both, and couldn't be happier. The Diver constantly surprises me....a year ago I would have said it wasn't my kinda thing. Now, I cannot wait to put it on my wrist.

I wear the Exp 11 whenever I don't want to wear an AP, and I love it. I bought a BLNR a year ago, but it rarely gets worn and will probably be off to another home soon....

So, IMHO, if you fancy the Diver....then you must absolutely get the Diver. It's on another level. You won't regret it.
