What about this??????

Ok I'm thinking about selling my Sub C LN and picking up a SD 16600 and a Sub C LV in a month or so. I have a DSSD that I never wear but I'm not selling it. I think the Sub C is quite possibly the best Rolex ever made. I wanted a SD instead of the DSSD but I couldn't find a new one bc they were DC'ed before I got the chance to buy. I'm getting an AP soon but this move isnt going to cost me that much out of pocket so buying the AP won't be pushed back. I have wanted a LV so I figure a SD and LV would be a good combo until I pick up my AP ROOC. The only thing is the market for SDs seem a little limited is my only worry. I will sell the LN first and don't want to search for too long (I can wear my DSSD but want a smaller watch quickly). Good idea or not?

Hey, ive been noticing in other posts how you want that AP badly!

And you have always mentioned that you never wear the DSSD, and love your sub and always wear it.

So, honestly, if I were you I would just sell that DSSD since you dont wear it, and not sell your sub since you always wear it.

Keep sub, sell DSSD that you never wear, and buy that AP you always wanted. If extra cash is there, get the LV....

IMO that would make you the most content and atleast you would wear all your watches.

Think about it, would it make sense to sell your sub that you always wear, and keep the DSSD that you dont?

Very interesting. You have it all mapped out and your plan sounds good, however, I can't wait until you land your first AP! There is nothing like it! Good luck!

keep the Subc, & enjoy the AP when it arrives... The LV & the SD occupy the same niche that the Subc does...

Trade the black Sub C for the LVC. Wear the DSSD more in rotation and buy the AP...problem solved:)

Keep the SubC for now and use some of the AP funds to buy your SD and LV. When you're ready for your AP, then sell your SubC (or one of the others). A sports Rolex is almost as good as cash.

I don't wear the DSSD but it was a gift from my parents and grandparents for keeping a scholarship all the way through college. That watch means more to me than I think any watch ever will. I know if I sold it I would be very sorry. I couldn't sell the DSSD. I'm actually wearing the DSSD today!!!

Well, if thats the case and if its got to be a keeper, why not keep your sub, DSSD, and buy the AP royal oak offshore, then maybe later down the road get the LV?

Disregard what i just posted then, If it was a gift from your family I would never sell it no matter how much you dont wear it.

No problem. I would suggest anyone sell a watch they don't wear too. I can't seem to find many SDs out there for sale anyway.
