So...I know it's random...but trade deepsea + pan 233 = AP 15400
Recently I visited Ap store in nyc and VC store tried AP 15400 & AP diver white. Also VC overseas chrono which they only had brown color. Actually new VC chrono is stunning. First time in person but quality was better then AP so got me thinking... what rolex forums say? If I trade in deepsea + pan 233 to ap 15400 or VC oversea chrono. I know new one can't exchange but old VC runs around 12k. What you guys think? I have Batman but that is keeper ?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
