Ceramic diver for a Sub??? I've had the BLNR, sub LN and LV, sold all, the diver is such a more awesome watch, really, no question...

Personally prefer a BLNR over a Diver. But prefer a RO over a BLNR. Neither is an upgrade or downgrade in either case IMO. Both excellent watches and reputable brands.
Do it if it's what you want.
Not me, diver is way cooler IMO

Sure, the ones who don't have a diver

It's a very nice watch but for me a sub is nicer, and diver much nicer than sub...

Ultimately since you are asking I would say keep the Diver since I just got mine and Im on the honeymoon phase of just getting it heheh. Good Luck
The diver is much more comfortable than a sub

Just replied to everyone and shut it down. I think that they each wear differently. As fas as comfort, Im ordering the XS strap for my diver and then I can tell you if its more comfortable because as of now since the strap is big its not more comfortable but I do enjoy looking at the diver on my wrist more. Diver all the way

AN SDc is a 116600 not 116610

I too have had numerous rolex and a couple AP. I have a handful of reasons the ceramic diver didn't stick but they are merely subjective so I'll keep them to myself.

You've had it for what a few weeks? Get back to us in a year.

I'm not against AP. I love AP and will likely add a jumbo at some point.

bulletproof and a timeless design that cannot be sniffed by any ROO IMHO

It wouldn't be crazy since it's mostly a personal preference decision.

If I were you, I would not do it at all. IMO, AP Diver is too good of a piece to let go.

I moved several watches to get my Diver. I was a bit hesitant at first. To make it worse, when I first got the AP, I didn't like the way it fit. After a few weeks of wearing it, fits and feels awesome.

Another plus is my humble collection consists of the AP and one Rolex. Some other watches like a Tag AR and a Damasko DA44. My point is I am wearing my most important pieces more now. And that makes me feel good. Looking at my AP everyday on the wrist, there is no way I would do the trade. Now I might move the AP for say a PP or maybe a ceramic AP, but that would be it. Good luck!

Well When I got my LV, and Daytona RG I never really wore them, even the PP 5726 Never got to me, whereas the diver yes, so think it'll stay, but you can ask me in 1 year

Yeah sorry I mistaked the number, I tend to like more the SDc than sub but it doesn't go well on me, tried it and didn't like how it sat, too thick for my taste, but looks great, just not for me

Well that's good then seems you are able to tell right away what will stick and what won't. I'm generally the same way

To be honest above all else, I have come to realize I don't like the aesthetic of the screws against the black bezel, however I love the subtle nuance of the wg screws against the steel, but the steel on black is not for me.
And it's not sold yet...maybe I have a change of heart lol

I would do it. A BLNR is a great add on to the SDc.

I wouldn't wear the AP Diver as much a the Rolexes.

IMHO this is a very good point....I had not thought about it in this way, but it makes good sense.
