So I love my Diver....

but I can't get the 44mm ceramic bezel out of my mind. I've been after one since they first came out. And my diver filled the void for a while, but I think j need the 44. The diver is a BEAUTIFUL watch. So sell made and refined for a dice watch but I have huge wrists and need that size. Keep both? Trade plus cash? Sell the diver while they are hot and hope to find a smokin deal on the 44? What to do!!! These are the things that keep my up after a wonderful thanksgiving! Hope you all had a great Holliday. I am thankful for my watch collection and my friends who I have made through it. We are all lucky people to play with such wonderful toys.

I had both the Diver and 44MM ROO. After a while, the Diver became boring and I just wore the 44MM ROO, which is so classy and full of details. I let the Diver go to a good home.

But I have since moved on to Patek 5980. I still miss the 44MM ROO.

For a new 44mm? If so, on a trade you will need closer to 13k or so and the diver. Of course that depends on the condition of the diver, etc. but used are going for 12ish, so on trade you will get less than that. BNIB 26400 in ss is close to 25k.

I was just at the AP Boutique today to look at other models. Came across the Diver really liked it. I have the 44 ROO in SS. It is a massive watch and is an absolute technical marvel. I had it on my wrist the very same day that I first saw it. It's just amazing.

I say keep your Diver as the 44 is proving difficult to fill the "daily" need I have in a watch. I will most likely need to pair it with a Submariner of ROO Diver - which, I dare to say, is very insignificant compared to the 44, but better as a daily for comfort reasons.

Interesting that it is down to those two. The MB&F is cool, but can you honestly see wearing that often, let alone keeping it long term?

i know its quite the difference between them, but in south florida an mb&f is more wearable if that makes sense. plus i am an mb&f dealer, not an ap dealer :)
