Audemars Royal Oak for YG Sub - sunburst?

What do you guys think?

I am considering trading my 15400 for a YG sub w sunburst dial...

I don't wear it much but when I do, I absolutely love the dial and bracelet. On the other hand, I love the look of blue and gold...

I posted this in the AP section as well - what do you think?

Thanks in advance Neil for the enabling 👊

Yes. Do it. For the record AP doesn't suit my personal taste at all (I don't get it) but sunburst blue dial on full YG certainly is.

If it were a 15300, I would say don't do it. The 15400, go for it.

Personally I much rather sport a precious metal Sub than a 15400.

Listen to me!!!!
DONT DO IT.

AP RO and Sub are wolds apart. they are not even in the same stratosphere.

AP RO is just beautiful. Sub, is a sub (with extra bling). Plain jane compared to AP

I went into this thread thinking you were referring to the 116613, not the 116618. I think you should do it if you're not digging the RO. The 15400 is a cool watch, but I would prefer the smaller 15300.

Flip. Blue YG sub is a grail for me and I will one day own one. I couldn't flip that AP quick enough.

If you don't wear, why keep it? Get something you love while you are here to enjoy it!

Why?

Makes no sense to me whatsoever. RO is better finished, is an icon and looks great. YG Sub for me is like a gold plated Jeep. If you want precious metal why not a gold RO?

Thanks for the responses everyone.

Def not a straight trade - my RO + $$.

The only thing holding me back is the sheer beauty of the RO.

Another option is to trade up for a ROC on bracelet. That would have to wait a bit due to some priorities.
