Thinking to sell my Rolex 16623 steel/gold yacht master(older model) and add $5-7k usd for AP 15400st black. Is it worth the upgrade?

I'm new to AP, never own one and recently fell in love with Royal Oak models

Thx for your advise

srvrf · 26 July 2015, 11:46 AM

I'd vote for the upgrade unless you're really rough on your watches or need good WR ratings because the AP will scratch more easily and the WR rating will drop in half from 100m (Rolex) to 50m (AP).

My answer....

Rolex, hello AP

Go straight for the upgrade and never look back!

ad an ap 15000 black dial. My sub c is much nicer. Traded the ap after not wearing it for 6 months.. Nice watch but tired of it in about 1.5 years. The sub c i never get tired of wearing it.

s14roller · 26 July 2015, 01:02 PM

Have a few Rolexes and a few APs...it's a no brainer, IMO. AP is a much nicer piece.

NoVaSubowner · 26 July 2015, 01:19 PM

AP.....

Like the old Packard ads used to say... "Ask the man who owns one."

daytonaTBR · 26 July 2015, 01:46 PM

do it!

zama · 26 July 2015, 02:09 PM

Sounds reasonable they do wear big, i sold mine for that reason.

alexlt730512 · 26 July 2015, 02:38 PM

i'll do it for sure. bye Rolex and hello AP :)

Cru Jones · 26 July 2015, 02:49 PM

Not really an "upgrade", but if you like it, why not?

Baco Noir · 26 July 2015, 02:52 PM

The 15400 is so more amazing than any Rolex I've seen - so my vote is to go for it.

gummy · 26 July 2015, 02:55 PM

I'm already waiting for the incoming thread...

Do it!

You'll love it!

Giggsy11 · 26 July 2015, 04:49 PM

I guess only do it if the AP is not your daily watch.. Nothing beats a Rolex for that rolex.. But no doubting the AP much more special..

Hairdude1 · 26 July 2015, 05:06 PM

Do it!

eonflux · 26 July 2015, 05:39 PM

Go for it!!

ezinhk · 26 July 2015, 07:01 PM

Does it wear bigger than sub c? I have gmtII c and fits just right.

Yes it wears bigger IMHO

theflywrist · 26 July 2015, 09:35 PM

I say it is worth it if you have another Rolex or beater to wear on rough days.
I recently got a PP 5711 that I was lusting for a very very long time.
It would have been easier to flip my Rolex and pay the difference, however I knew I would need the Rolex as my beater on rough days, beach days, etc.

The Genta designs are no soft watches, but they are not as sturdy as a sports model Rolex. Obviously they don't resist scratches as easy either.

My two cents

SpunkyQ8 · 26 July 2015, 09:46 PM

AP is a different league. Thus, upgrading to the classic 15400 is a wise move. Do it!

Yes wears a bit bigger. Its thinner though.

SamGMT · 26 July 2015, 11:29 PM

Yes

jjnd08 · 26 July 2015, 11:37 PM

I just flipped my Daytona for a 15400 black. I couldn't be happier with the move, I definitely think it's an upgrade. Once I tried on the RO, the Daytona didn't have the same luster.

I really don't think it wears bigger than the SubC. It feels lighter, less thick, has a flatter case back (more comfortable), and the wider bracelet gives it a more balanced feel.

Looking forward to your incoming! Name: uploadfromtaptalk1437917833152.jpg

I think coming from a rolex, you will be good to go. Seems big compared to a 5711/15202/5167 and myself eventually felt it was larger than I wanted, that and I had my eye in a lange

I would absolutely do it. Everyone should have a royal oak at some time or other. It's a special piece
