Somehow i have the desire to add something new to my Collection. My actual Collection is an AP 15202, a PP 5167, a Rolex 116500 (White), a Rolex 126710 and a Rolex 16710.

I was thinking about adding a Gold watch. As i'm truly in love with the Royal Oak design, i am considering either the new 15500or on the leather strap or the 26331or with the blue dial on the leather strap. In both cases i would Switch the leather strap with a rubber strap.

Now my Problem is that i don't really want to add something new unless i sell some of my watches. My idea is to sell the Aquanaut and add some cash.

Which one would you sell to add a new watch or what would you do?

Jetski · 20 April 2019, 06:54 AM

Sell one of the rolexes and do it

jrs146 · 20 April 2019, 07:32 AM

Any chance to add without selling? You have such a great collection. I’m very steel heavy and I think my next watch will be a 5711r. I just can’t stand to part with any so I’ll have to wait a little and suck it up and add!

adding without selling is not an option

i don't see me wearing a full Gold watch. further more i don't want to spend 50k for one watch.

You don't seem to be enjoying the PP 5167 as much as you should. You have your answer already. If it was me, I wouldn't have bought the Daytona to begin with...

AK797 · 20 April 2019, 08:40 AM

I'd sell one of the Rolexes, 2 if you have to, before the PP.

Peterandwatches · 20 April 2019, 08:47 AM

5167r?

i don't know why but i must be one of the few guys who don't find the aquanaut comfortable.. but i must admit i really like the stealth factor, which would be gone with a gold watch.

the Daytona is the last one i've acquired and as for now it is a keeper.

I wouldn't sell the PP. Unload one or two of the Rolex's. I did exactly what you are thinking. I got the 26331 RG and swapped it out with a rubber strap. It's a perfect combo!

Kliminator · 22 April 2019, 07:41 PM

Am assuming you're looking into AP but what about a day date 40?

yes, that's a beauty but i think that AP's are just more special and less common.. maybe one day i'll sell my Rolexes and buy that dd40 :-)

tubojunk · 23 April 2019, 04:04 AM

I personally would get rid of the aquanaut. Even though it’s a desirable reference it just doesn’t do it for me anymore and I’d rather have other Pateks. If you don’t love it I would surely sell it to take advantage of the market.

An AP is definitely special / unique but so is the day date! I own a royal oak already in SS and just ordered a DD40 YG

Chary · 23 April 2019, 02:40 PM

I would get rid of one of the Rolexes first not the PP

well, the 16710 was my very first Rolex and the 126710 is my main watch for work. the 116500 is the only one i can see letting go, due to no wrist time. but then i again i have stopped wearing my 16710 since i received the 126710..

can you please post a wristshot with your red gold roc?

CoveWatch · 24 April 2019, 01:35 AM

I also agree with selling the Rolex watches for it.. unless of course you really don't wear the aqua at all then sure why not

maverick. · 27 April 2019, 06:12 PM

i just got the call that they got a 15500or for me. i will go to the boutique on monday and see how i like it. i will post pictures afterwards.

Looking forward to seeing some wrist shots

maverick. · 28 April 2019, 02:05 AM

ok, i couldn't wait until monday. how do you like that new 15500or? i think it looks more premium than the PP 5167..

I think it looks great and looks like you are happy to have 2 ROs over the PP... question is what are you going to do with the khaki strap if you sell it? Worth a fair bit altho you could sell it here at mates rates.

donut · 30 April 2019, 12:35 AM

For me, I think you have a great collection. I would save more for a gold watch. No selling.
