26400au FC for Smurf ???
Completely out of left field, I was offered a swap yesterday where I would give up my 6 month old 26400FC Novelty (which I do like) for a BNIB 116619 Smurf. After initially politely declining the offer....I find myself actually contemplating the deal. This would leave me with my Diver as my only AP.
And although I am leaning towards not making the trade I'm always curious what other's thoughts on the subject are .....fire away ! |

I personally do not have much of an interest in the Smurf... The AP FC 44 is more appealing to me...

AP 44FC is one of my favorites...
Love Rolex...I have always liked the smurf - I would rather pick up a pre-owned at a little better price. |

Totally different watches...value wise, I think the BNIB Smurf might be slightly ahead of the used FC...
Ultimately it comes down to what you want a watch for. I would use and wear a FC very differently than how I would with a Smurf...and the visuals are totally different between the two. Personally, I've been on a bit of a precious metal itch lately, so I may slightly edge toward the Smurf. It was any other AP 44, it would be an easy no for me though. |

Depends if you are craving WG. Ever had a sub before? I would prefer the sub aesthetically speaking

The smurf is nice, but hey it's definitely a step back. It's rather "plain" a glorified Sub if we want to be really harsh.
I've tried one on, and I do find myself occasionally checking their prices online. But compared to an AP, pretty much any modern AP it's a huge step back in Horology.

To the OP you get that one weighs a ton and the other no? I can't handle the weight but if you can the Rolex is kinda cool, but horologically speaking yes you are way back, you could do it if your FC case is wearing off on the sharp edges, but if it's holding fine then no, again if you can handle the weight... |

FC is a much more interesting piece in my opinion.
I think you will get tired of the Smurf quicker than you think you would! |
