Second guessing myself
I'm about to trade my Rolex and Panerai plus cash for an AP ROO panda. What I'm asking is, is this watch as amazing as I think it is. Will I miss my two watches? I know some of you might say, keep the watches and save for the AP. In reality I work somewhere I can't wear either watch, so I have two days a week I can wear something else. That's why I think downsizing is a good idea as well. Getting cold feet looking for some insight.

You will love the Panda. You can always save and get a Rolex later. AP's rock and you will not look back.
Congrats in advance! |

That's a nice looking piece. I would keep that one, but definitely sell the Panerai. Then pick up the AP when you can...

That Rolex is the perfect watch to bring on vacations as well, no big worries about damaging it. I would add the AP, and use the AP more selectively, and wear the hell out of the DJII.

The Panda was my first love...very special watch...personally, I would do it but QC makes a good point...you may want to consider having an "everyday" watch.
I use a Sub on weekdays, and rotate between either a Daytona or ROO for weekends. |

Anthony, AP is at a different level and you won't miss neither one of them. I promise!

Personally I wouldn't do it, I love AP 's don't get me wrong but Rolex is Rolex and it will work even if you "abuse it" so its a perfect everyday work horse, I don't care a lot for Panerai so I would sell that one.
Panda is great but 2 for 1 plus cash, I don't know. |

I'd sell off the Breitling, Omega, and Panerai but keep the Rolex. The Panda is a fantastic AP.

I bought an RRO Panda as my first AP, and let me tell you... NO picture will ever do an AP justice. They look absolutely amazing in real life.
I've been wearing the panda as my daily since I got it, can't take it off. I traded in a 233 O series + cash for it, never looked back. You can always go back and buy the Rolex and PAM. But if you can get the Panda, go for it. Let me know via PM if you want to sell the Rolex, I may know someone looking for one right at this time. Yours look great. |

That's a lot to give up. I probably wouldn't do the trade, but, if you simply MUST have the Panda, go for it.

Breitling I have tried to like but would only have gotten a B01 if I wanted to bling at the club...but never got into that kind of look so passed...I had a PAM 005 and 233, nice to have, but always prefered to grab my AP so ended up selling those as well. |

I always think the more in the rotation the better.....I'd rather save up for it, which will take me forever lol but still I would.

I love that DJII...I have one also and I wouldn't trade it for the AP. It is just too versatile, rugged and a great all-around piece. I would save up some $$ and trade the PAM when you can afford to buy the Panda and keep the DJII.
