So I've been bitted by the AP bug pretty bad lately and have started to crave for one of the new 42mm ROOs, either the Safari or the Navy I think. In the last year, I added a stainless steel AP Diver and stainless steel 44mm Ceramic... these two watches are definitely part of my top 3 watches and now I feel like I need (want) a third AP. But that will cost me a pretty penny... in order to afford the third AP, I would need to sell part of my collection. So if you were me...

Would you sell the 5 watches on the right hand side of the pic below (PAM305, PAM183, Zenith Defy T-Open, B&R 01-96, and B&R 01-97 (plus probably a bit of cash) to get 1 of the new AP 42mm ROOs (either Safari or Navy pictured below)?

If I sold these 5, I would still be left with 2 Panerais - PAM416 and PAM233.

I would keep the 305

, it compliments your 233 well. But the Bell & Ross , Zenith and the 183 would be on the block. I'm looking at the Safari myself after I see if the new SD 4000 is a perfect fit for me.

Not sure why you're asking the question here, seeing as we're rather PAM-centric 'round these parts...

I voted no, but it's a biased reply - I'm not a big AP fan... but if your heart's set on AP, follow your heart!

Yes...maybe keep Rad.

AP doesn't do it for me

SAAS · 26 April 2014, 01:11 PM

3x love the rad

herbalt · 26 April 2014, 01:58 PM

Those particular APs don't do it for me but I'd sell several for something a lot more special.

herbalt · 26 April 2014, 01:59 PM

Personally though I'd keep the 183... Love that reference.

mborkow · 26 April 2014, 03:10 PM

Yes...my only hesitation from the group is the 305 but the Safari would be worth it.

(Although, given what's already in your AP stable, I might rather flip those five for a 15202 or 15300/15400 (and keep at least the 183) or an ROC, as you already have two great sports APs.)

jay_kay · 26 April 2014, 06:19 PM

I would. I am currently weighing up selling my 232 and 26. Not sure whether to try a 341 or go down the AP ROO Diver route.

steveclocks · 26 April 2014, 06:59 PM

I think i would't sell the Zenith. But i would sell the other 4 to finance one of these marvelous AP ROOs !!!!
Go for it man

dysondiver · 26 April 2014, 07:09 PM

yep ,,, i would trade

SearChart · 26 April 2014, 07:54 PM

I'd sell one of the Bell and Ross and I'd sell the Zenith, keep the rest and keep saving.

Rachdanon · 26 April 2014, 11:34 PM

I can't appreciate APs because they all have those subdials in 6 9 12 positions, like my Val 7750s.

ejvette · 27 April 2014, 05:38 AM

I don't seen the attraction for the AP's not my cup of tea you have a really beautiful collection it would hurt to dump 5 for 1 good luck
