2 APs for 1 Rolex?
I posted this in the Rolex forum but thought to be fair I would post it here as well.

I am considering selling my 44mm RG ROO and 40th anniversary Jumbo RO for a Platona. Am I crazy?

As I stated in your Rolex post-NO!

Are you kidding me, two of the best AP's made for a Rolex?

IF you want another Rolex for your collection, sell the other ones you have to fund it, but NOT the RG44mm and 15202

I could see parting with the ROO, but never the Jumbo.

For me it's a simple one, NO! I personally don't like the Platona. Yes, platinum is nice. However the colour combination is just weird. Light blue and brown? What were they thinking?

I like the platona but I think it's overpriced. I would never trade those two amazing APs for a daytona.

I would keep the 15202, cmon, doesnt get much better than that. However, I would sell the ROO and just get a regular Daytona.

I feel like this is an issue of preference, But I like the 44mm rg and cash for the platona and keeping the jumbo.

No way. Those APs are two of my favorites and make a great combo. Keep em.

I would do it. But if you want to flip the daytona later, keep in mind your potential buyer pool is getting smaller and smaller as you move up in cost.
