would you do this trade?

Hi everyone

so i'm thinking about getting the AP 15407! now my question: would you trade the AP 15202 and Patek 5167 for the AP 15407 in steel?

my two other watches are Rolex 126710 and 16710..

thanks in advance for your thoughts :-)

Absolutely. The 15202 is a touch small for my tastes and I too am not a fan of the 5167...and am a huge fan of the 15407

No cash on top? That’s a good trade for you straight up.

I'm a huge fan of the 15407. I think you'll be happy with that deal. I would rather trade a Rolex out though.

The 15407 is an unbelievable watch, but it’s quite flashy — the RO isn’t the lowest-profile watch out there to begin with, and the fact that it’s open-worked means it’ll catch the attention of everyone, even people who normally pay no attention to watches. If you like this, then go for it, or if you’re fine with it in certain situations, also go for it. However, I like wearing my ROs around and I know that I would be more hesitant to wear the 15407 in public places or when seeing people that I wouldn’t necessarily want to appear showy/start a conversation about watches with, meaning it would be reserved for wearing around the house or on rare occasions. Again, this might not be the case for you or you might be fine with it, just figured I’d give my view.

You say that and I understand how the finish on the RO’s catches the light and does glisten but short of that I fail to see how the openworked would be anymore flashy then say a 15400.

Outside AD’s and WIS my RO is the least commented on watch I’ve owned! The ROO44 grabbed attention with its size but by far the most has been my Rolex’s but then they are the most recognise watches out there..

Thank you for your opinion. I live in Switzerland and luckily it is pretty safe here. so i'm not concerned about it. when i travel i usually don't wear my AP. More so my watches are insured. But it is of course a point to be concidered!

All of your current watches are in the 39-40mm ballpark, 5167 wears pretty small in my opinion as well. 15407 at 41mm, and wears larger in my opinion, is going to be quite a bit different. Have you factored that in or tried on a 15400/407?

Unfortunately i didn't have the chance to try on the 15407. I must admit i really like the slim cases. that is also the reason i bought the 5167 instead of the AP Diver. so i guess i will decide when i'll get the chance to try on the 15407.

Yeah, I would try it on and make sure the size is right. I love the 407 dial and it is awesome but the 305 would be the open worked for me if I were to get one, and aesthetically the 407 wins there. But if you find it's too large, I think you would regret giving up what you have as they will be challenging to acquire again.

for my 7in wrist the 41mm RO case wears too big for my taste... similar to a 42mm ROO.
that said, the 407 dial is too glorious...go for it!

No I won't. But I will trade the 5167 + Rolex 16710 + cash for 15407ST. I will keep the 15202 as it is also very hard to get.

An enabling pic thrown in for good measure
