Another would you...

sell my AP 15202 40th anniversary jumbo to help fund a new Rolex? If so, which one...leaning towards the new and yet to be released PepsiC or the Platona.

At the end of the day it is what smiles at you the most. If some had the resources they would have just skipped the AP and bought a different watch straight out...others would say the finish and movement on the AP are superior. Nobody is wrong, it is all personal preference.

Usually if you have made the post if you should or not, you have made up your mind. Either way, best of luck in the decision .

Always a pleasure seeing you Platona!

If I had the resources and a AP, Platona would be the choice and keep the AP.

I would keep the iconic 15202 and sell the WG SkyD, which I really do like, but it would keep your collection more balanced across the three key brands.

Rolex fans would say .....see above. AP fans would say ....heck no. As a fan of both brands I would not sell the jumbo period. Classic beautiful watch with an incredibly beautiful movement. No chance.

The AP is very nice, but for Platona or PepsiC, I would flip and might go back getting a 15400.
