Flip my 116520 for 15400. Mistake?

OP - I have owned the 116520 and 15400 simultaneously, ended up keeping the 15400...

I do have the 116550 on order, however.

I mean, each time I.ve been to AP to try a 15400, they offered me big discount without big push from my side. Never saw that with a Rilex Daytona.

Nah, I think the Daytona is a more interesting watch. If you are having the AP itch, however, I would suggest either trading something else for it, or finding one on the secondary market.

I would not, but i'm not a fan of AP. The deal does sound OK if you like this AP.

Now if we are talking a 500c, no, I would absolutely never do that deal. (I know we are not talking that watch by the tread title).

I agree with Steve, I prefer the 400 to the old Daytona, but probably not to the new D500.

[Peterandwatches]

I would. The Daytona is great, but there is something special about those AP/PP watches.

[Mrkamir9]

I would do it in a heartbeat.

That's a deal I'd jump on!

You should be; you're among the minority I've seen that the watch actually fits. Looks good, in fact!

As my wrist measures 200 mm — that's 7-7/8" in freedumb units — it wears similarly for me; I just always seem to prioritize other watches.

Most definitely; a diver's watch, a world-class sports chronograph and a top-grade simple steel watch constitutes a great trio.

A modern Explorer is an easily replaceable watch if in case it's missed, and I doubt the Tudor would be missed at all.

I wouldn't

That is where my mindset would be Neil! I like the 400, it is a nice piece but I have larger wrists so it looks good on me.

The 500c has a slightly larger wearing appearance with the new bezel and in my eyes removes the temptation to consider a deal (value aside).

[brandrea]

It sounds like a fair deal for both of you.

[travisb]

If the temptation is there, it's worth giving it a try as it sounds like a fair deal.
If I'm faced with the decision of one or the other though, I'm keeping the Daytona.

keep the daytona
