Trade EXP II for AP RO?
I have a random serial black dial EXP II, the last year Rolex made the 40mm. Recently I've been bit by the AP bug and am obsessed with the 15202 & 15300. So here's my dilemma...trade up immediately or save for a year and keep the EXP & add the AP. I also need to add that the EXP was the first nice watch I bought myself. Thoughts, opinions, suggestions?Oh...and...15202 or 15300? :)

5227 or 5146
What would you choose, 5227 or 5146 ? I like both but which will be more versatile to wear dress up or casual ? What are your thoughts and reasons ?Looking at the prices and seems the 5227 is almost as much as a 5146 with only a date function whereas the 5146 has complications. I would think a watch with complications would be more expensive than a simple date function piece.

Finally got the call/text last night!
After almost 5 months wait, I got the call/text from my dealer. This watch will be for my wife, but I am still excited to get it for her.Several things mentioned during the conversation with the owner.1. He said he spoke to President of Rolex (maybe North America?) at the Rolex Daytona. Who told him the production will remain the same, but since the demand is higher, watches (sports models) will remain hard to get in 2018.2. Rolex's solution to the shortage is to redesign small show case to hold less watch( how does that solve the shortage?), which I have read in another thread. 3. Price increase is coming. This one he did not hear from the President of Rolex.I was recently in Taiwan visiting. Checked out two large Rolex dealers. Both had ZERO stainless steel sports watches. Not even two tones. One only had a YM2, Gold Sky-D, Diamond dial Daytona. That was it. Pretty sad.
