Hi All,

I was thinking about trading my AP 26400SO + a bit of cash for a Rolex 116619 Smurf? I have always wanted a Rolex PM and I was just thinking that going from AP to Rolex is like taking a step down in a sense especially in this case when both watches are valued so closely in terms of $.

What do you guys think? Would just want input to see if I'll pull the trigger or not.

Thanks!

I wouldn't. The AP has more character and is rugged enough to be a daily as well

+1 I wouldn't even consider it. But if I have a smurf I would definitely trade up for your Ap however, since u consider moving it there must be a reason ? Is it the fit does it fit too large or just bored?

Keep the 44
It's much more special-dial, movement, rarity, etc
While a Smurf isn't common for a Rolex, Subs are common

Do it. The feeling is incredible

Just bored I guess. Was thinking of changing it up. I have used the AP as a daily for a while now. Since I got the 116500LN, have not been using it much. Maybe it's just more of weighing my options. Your responses are making me lean towards keeping it though and being contented. It fits perfectly by the way. Also, just missing my PM daytona (116509 slate).. Now I'm thinking there's just an itch there that I should ignore. :)

Thanks guys!

Yeahh! That's nice to hear lol the only change u should consider making is maybe a pm metal ap! A smaller ap then 15400 rg or 44 rg u'll miss ap when it's gone I'm pretty sure

Haha. Thanks Ken. I think you're right. I'll probably regret letting this go if it's not for a better AP or a PP or something "higher end". That's actually what I was worried about. Just needed a nudge in the right direction.

Thanks again folks for weighing in. Looks like I'm staying put.... for now. Hehe.

mickyd329 · 8 July 2016, 04:29 PM

Absolutely not!!! Don't do it. You will regret it.

I agree ... While the AP is not that common
neither is the smurf ... To compare the smurf with
any sub is ludicrous... I woouldnf think twice ...
Get the dmirf . It's in another class all by itself ...

lapince · 8 July 2016, 06:58 PM

You have a basic movement and finishing with PM in one case, a top notch movement and case finishing in the other not to mention very comfortable for such a big watch, as much as I like the design of the Rolex I couldn't go from the AP to it, too big downgrade IMO

1William · 8 July 2016, 08:26 PM

I prefer the Smurf. Almost a perfect watch in my opinion.

Abdullasaif · 8 July 2016, 08:28 PM

Never never never would trade it for a smurf just not the Rolex I would call an upgrade

How about a strap swap to change things up a bit? I wouldn't downgrade to a Sub.

mzmonzon · 9 July 2016, 02:08 AM

Thanks everyone for your input. Definitely staying put. All the great points about uniqueness, movement, character have all convinced me to ignore the itch. Appreciate it guys.

Yup. Been doing this too. Maybe now is the time to do it again just to be more content. :)

Vipes · 9 July 2016, 02:20 AM

Nope. Platona? yes.

masterserg · 9 July 2016, 03:18 AM

I like the smurf but no way ...

Keep the 44 and scratch the itch with an LVc?

AK797 · 9 July 2016, 09:32 AM

I understand the lure of full gold but I would hate to give up the 44, maybe go for the 44 RG or even plat if you want white metal.

Pt for the win!!!

Hairdude1 · 9 July 2016, 01:07 PM

Maybe this? It is PM and a 44

woodsworth · 9 July 2016, 02:05 PM

If anything, trade up for a RG44... one of AP's best looking Offshores, imo

Al1969 · 9 July 2016, 03:03 PM

I personally wouldn't do it.

VICI · 10 July 2016, 01:07 AM

Absolutely N O T

The surf is a nice watch but a Novelty for it??

ChrisInCharlotte · 10 July 2016, 01:57 AM

I love the smurf, but unless you're going to a platona I wouldn't trade any 44mm offshore for it.

RHIII · 21 July 2016, 11:39 AM

Nope. I wouldn't.

Love both but won't do it. (I'll probably look for a pre owned just to scratch an itch)
