One must go.....but which one ?

I'm about to pull the trigger on a ROO 26470or and bring in a little gold. In order to do so I have to let go of either the AP Diver or Panda. Love them both for different reasons, but alas both cannot stay. Simply for perspective, the Deep Blue DSSD and a Panerai are also in the current stable and are both staying.

Thoughts and opinions are welcome ! TIA

Diver in your case and in light of your keeping the DSSD.

You may as well sell both. The diver goes because you are keeping the DSSD, and you may as well sell the panda as once you have gold I cannot see that you will be wearing the panda much !!! :)

Personally, I would let go the DSSD and keep the Diver & Panda.
But if it's between the 2 APs, I sadly say the Diver :(

diver to go since you're keeping dssd (though i would rather sell dssd, can always get a sub next time, classier imo). panda you can use it as daily wear or for going overseas. the gold roo is abit too ostentatious for everyday wear imo.

Congrats in advance as the 26470 is a great piece.

DSSD should go even though you say its staying

AP Diver is a fantastic piece, the Panda is a great everyday watch....and I dont know what Panerai you have but that should go too LOL

I would let the diver go in your case... Mostly because the new divers come with a glass case back now and you could always pick one up again in the future.

Tough choice! I would let the Panda go as I like the Diver too much.

Good luck!

So originally, my thought was to move the diver. I love the piece, but can always re-aquire it at a later date, possibly even the new release from this year with the see through back. The Panda was/is a classic.

I wore the diver over the weekend........and am now having second thoughts. I have in on a custom black survivor hornback with grey stitch and simply love that look. Maybe moving the DSSD is the way to go, although it is my daily and I do like the two tone dial on the Deep Blue (the regular one does nothing for me).

If it's the deep blue even more reason to dump it

Rolex has gotten out of hand with these multi color black and blue watches that are just plain......trendy

Move the Diver. The Panda is a harder to get piece and most importantly its beauty.

Keep the Diver then, it's a better balanced watch overall.
