Deal or no deal? Be my conscience please!

I love the AP style. I'd do it.

BTW, you write just above that the 359 is too big for you.... The ROO will wear just as large and is visually more "present" (it's a large 42), so, another reason to slow down.

Flip the two plus add cash for a 15202? Now we're talking! Amazing "grail" for which it's worth trading two great watches and a much better fit for your collection (and wrist), too.

A Grail is defined by personal taste and these are not a Grail to you and that's 100% fine... Everyone has a watch that just calls them as the one they want to me it's always been a ROO.. In saying that I'm not prepared to loose my shirt to get one... As far as size difference yes the AP wears large but mostly in thickness it's a 42 that wears as a44 whereas the pam is a 44 that wears as a 47-48... And as far as comfort the pam just doesn't have it(I've tried multiple straps) the roo sits nicely...

So far the consensus is split down the middle, I understand the love for the lb's on here so it's always going to be a controversial trade on a Rolex forum. To be honest my next Rolex purchase will be datejust TT on a Jubille so which will render my Bluesy even more obsolete in my collection ,if I feel like I'm missing it I'd rather the 16613 as I've grown more fond of the non maxi case(I've still got a hulk to fill that spot)

Ok so no decision made yet �� Lol

The safari is a great AP. Worth going for.

I'm a big a blue dial fan as any, but as you have a few Rolexes go for the AP, they are really a different class of beast. And yes the 42s while thick do wear on small side due to the smallish dial.
