Sell Sub and Speedmaster to fund AP 15300?
Hello
Looking for an opinion as I'm on the fence. I currently have a Sub 16610 and a Speedmaster 3573.50. Came across a mint AP 15300 white dial. Would you guys sell the two to fund the AP. Would only hav to add a couple hundred bucks if that. I can't have all of them so it is either keep the speedy and sub or sell both for the 15300. What do you guys think? Thanks as always |

Give up two classics/icons, in exchange for one? I wouldn't.
Worst case I would sacrifice the speedy for the AP (and some cash on top), then you have the best of both worlds. White and black dial, sport and elegance.

This is rolex forum, I wouldn't do it. You got two classic watches. Keep them.

Personally, I don't like the look. Looks too much like a bolt with screws in it. So - no for me.

Not a fan of AP, so my vote is for no. Having said that, if that is the watch you want, why not?
Good luck!

The 15400 is nice and if you have other watches, then maybe, a big maybe.
Other wise a person that owns those two to end up with just that one, NO! |

I would do it right away. 15300 is simply amazing watch, the most comfortable watch on my wrist, and is it truly beautiful piece?:
P.s black is very cool too. Can be casual for everyday/dressy as well.

Do it. I've sold off most of my panerai and rolex watches for APs with no regrets. The 15300 is a spectacular watch.

^^^I agree with this...I have all three of these watches in my collection as well and each one is THE timeless icon of its respective brand. Keep what you have, take your time and save up for the AP to complete the set.
