AP given your current Rolex stable (and possible LVc in the future).

Personally, the 44 is too big, I'm a bit skeptical of touching another AP ROO with that movement given the quality issues as of late and would rather take a 116619.

You are already getting a LVc so that's 3 subs, a little too redundant for the collection. The WG sub is stunning enough to be your ultimate Sub. I would get rid of the black and flip the LVc and buy an AP RO 41 to add diversity. I was actually underwhelmed when I tried on the SS Offshore, in exotic materials its a different story.

Beautiful picture!! Hard to pass on this one after seeing this

I love Subs, so having multiple Subs in multiple colors is the optimal collection.

Oh, without a doubt, it would be the lovely magical Blue Sub aka Smurf. You won't be disappointed. Good luck! Cheers!

Exp II is basically my daily beater. Love it.

MB was a wedding gift from my wife so that's not going anywhere. Paid retail for the GSOTM (newbie at the time) and don't even want to face the realization of losing 50% on it. Would sell the Speedy though.

I don't doubt that one bit although I'd rather add before I sell just to make sure

Love seeing your AP in your avatar. Really want to find a dealer to try one on. Although I know it's only going to add to the difficulty of this decision for me.

Smurf for me. AP is really cool but I'm a bank executive, not a rapper, actor or a professional athlete.

I think it'd make for a great collection too. Would really like to own the black, green, blue and possibly even add a YG in the future.

Fair point. And I may feel the same once I try it on.

Based on your collection I'd say AP, but personally I'd go 15400 for looks, resale

I'd go AP based on your current collection. There is just something about a ROO 44. The smurf will most likely be more durable and problem free but as I said, there is just something about an AP.

Hey, I'm actually advocating cutting his collection down, but that's the best I can do here.

You know the answer here. I'm not much of an AP fan but really dislike that one. The Smurf is a grand slam though.
