- Rolex GMT II (yellow gold black dial)
- Rolex Sea Dweller
- Rolex 36mm Datejust (TT / c.1983)

- AP Royal Oak Offshore (Panda)
- AP Royal Oak 15202 (40th anniversary)
- PP Nautilus Chronograph (5980)
- IWC Regulateur (stainless steel)
- Omega SMP

Any and all opinions welcomed and appreciated...

No way.

Awesome collection BTW!!!!!! If you have time, post some pics.

diver2012 · 21 July 2013, 07:15 PM

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

HKRolexFans · 21 July 2013, 07:53 PM

You post in an AP forum, the answer must be negative, you should keep the RG AP as you have enough Rolex in your collection

I was expectingthis so I posted on both Rolex and AP forums..

Lamkyle · 21 July 2013, 08:13 PM

Definitely not the RG, panda +omega w cash...maybe

Soly20 · 21 July 2013, 08:21 PM

No. Unless if you don't wear the RGRC anymore, then there is no reason to keep it.

diver2012 · 21 July 2013, 08:25 PM

The Yacht Master 2 is a horrible looking thing in my eyes. It will not age well at all.

The problem is when you post on the Rolex pages the majority won't own an AP. However, most AP owners will also own Rolex models.

Posting on the AP section will give you the most impartial results.

mws222 · 21 July 2013, 08:47 PM

No way

Dcmk · 21 July 2013, 08:52 PM

Please don't the RC rose gold is one of the best looking offshore - I say get rid of that panda n top up cash for rolex

Manofsteelpt · 21 July 2013, 09:50 PM

Are you bored of the RC and looking or a change, or do you love the YM2? if your bored of the RC, How about swapping it for a RG 44mm?

texex91 · 21 July 2013, 10:26 PM

Only you can answer that question. For me I don't care for YMII, but see personal opinion.

VICI · 21 July 2013, 11:24 PM

I wouldn't. The RGRC is a real presence watch.

IMO, the YMII is a fad for the moment and I would expect it to lose value as people lose interest.

It has a lot of presence as well and being gold, even more - but that's a Rolex that I pass on.

TAKUYA · 21 July 2013, 11:51 PM

i don't really like RGRC (but if i can have one, that'd be awesome

), but there is absolutely "NO" to trade with Gold YM2.

P.s Amazing collection!

It's like the uber version of "hey look at my Rolex".........nasty.

emagni · 22 July 2013, 03:05 AM

Where is Thomas (TSW) when we need him.........wait a YMII SS minute. LOL

B. Doggy · 22 July 2013, 06:14 AM

Why would you??

h999r · 22 July 2013, 06:25 AM

Are u serious ?

Watchguy69 · 22 July 2013, 07:24 AM

Looking at your collection, you've got the chrono complication covered, as well as the sport watch look. If you're determined to part with the RGRC, I suggest you shop for a dressier rose gold watch with a different complication, perhaps an annual or perpetual calendar. I'd pass on the YM2.

Demonoid · 22 July 2013, 12:01 PM

It would be better to shoot your self on the foot.

Sorry but that's just insane in my book for someone to even consider it.

Randy · 22 July 2013, 12:09 PM

Keep the RGRC, it is one of the nicest APs in lineup. It sits much nicer on the wrist than the 44mm pieces as well. I have both.

Hkexpat183 · 22 July 2013, 01:23 PM

Another route I was contemplating is trading the RGRC plus some cash for a 44mm RG ROO.

This would address my ongoing concern about the durability of the rubber coating over the bezel by getting a ROO with a ceramic bezel

That sounds much better!

HKRolexFans · 22 July 2013, 09:04 PM

44mm RG ROO looks much better than YM2 imo

YES. That is the answer--plain and simple. THAT my friend is an amazing watch that you will cherish.

Now finding one will be a challenge, even in grey market. Since the price drop, almost impossible to find a BNIB.
