Thanks!
I don't really have any advice on which to trade and which to keep, but I can say as much as I have never regretted getting the AP. It's a great piece and also is a great addition to a few sports Rolex's etc.

Had the batman, and a ROO is just a whole different level, my ce diver is way more comfortable than any Rolex, impossible to wear a Rolex after a Patek or AP IMO, my first nautilus killed Rolex and Panerai for me, and I had 7 of those....

The BLNR will be hard to let go of regardless of what you replace it with. Perhaps its best to look at another flip or wait to add instead of trade.

how much are you adding? It seems like you don't like the blnr so why not. Hopefully you got a good trade in value for it and aren't losing to much money. THe ROO is a great watch and will really diversify your current collection.

Can't tell you if it's a good trade or not because you didn't say how much cash is involved. But if you're not wearing the BLNR and you like the ROO, then if the deal is acceptable to you go for it.

Well for me that is... But I mostly regret something with every trade.

Yesssss! The BLNR is a great watch, but not in same league as the ROO. Congrats in advance!

I love love love Rolex, but this AP has completely stolen my heart

What else do you have in your stable?

Your Elephant on grey rubber is a fantastic combo! Best pic of the Grey Themes I have seen on the forums.

I suddenly have the idea of flipping the batman plus cash for the YM2 steel instead of the AP.What do you guys think?

I flipped my YM2 for a ROO and I can tell you that 6 weeks later I have absolutely no regret.

That's what I think.

Don't get me wrong, I did and do love the YM2. It's absolutely stunning and likely the most "different" Rolex in the line up. It makes a real statement, which admittedly is something that appealed to me.

I simply just didn't wear it that much. I like the versatility of the ROO. What I mean is that, I am in casual gear almost all the time and the YM2 just didn't always fit in. I've found that my ROO on grey rubber literally goes with every outfit I own.

I don't know if I'd flip the BLNR for the YM2. Now flipping a Rolex for an AP, I'd definitely consider doing that.

AP in a heartbeat. Frankly, I don't understand the appeal of the BLNR.

Good luck.

I've heard bad things about AP's accuracy,is it true guys?Someone says their ap watches tend to gain/lose more than 20 secs a day and I think it's really unacceptable for an high-end watch
