should i....?
thinking of selling my black themes and getting a diver and a panda. then later down the road a rubberclad. i like the themes, but it looks too similar to the diver which i do eventually want to own and my wrist is too small to get one of the 44mm roo's (thank god or i'd be stony broke) and i do want to own a few roo's because i like the design so much.so would this be a nice diverse collection, bearing in mind i can only wear 42 mm's and i'm not a very big fan of forged carbon:1. diver2. panda3. rubbercladp.s. i prefer neutral colours that can match anything so that's why i wouldn't go for a bumblebee, volcano or navy.

Help with Trade on collection
Hello Again everyone I need some advice!!! So I've been refining my collection I got rid of my Omegas and I sold my old 5711 to fund a brand new 5711 blue dial from an AD as they finally got one in so papers are in my name. Anyways I need help because while I was looking in the dealer I realized although I'm a huge watch enthusiast that likes a variety of brands Patek seems to really make everything else I try on not so satisfying. Now I have two questions that I need advice on what to do to well round my collection. So my currently I stand with these beautiful watches: A Rolex Milgauss White dial, A Rolex Blnr, a Rolex 116520 Daytona, an Ap 15202 white dial 2014 dated so hard to find a late model white dial and of course last but not least my Patek 5711 blue dial. The two watches that really got me moving was A Patek Philippe 5726/a on a leather strap and a Patek Philippe 5960/1a just really was a stunner. So I'm to the point now that for a short period of time I'm not comfortable buy

SS Rolex Sky Dweller Blue vs. AP Royal Oak 41mm 15400 Blue
I'm aware this is a forum for Rolex enthusiasts and owning three myself (GMT BLNR, Two-tone ceramic GMT 116713, Sub-C 116610LN) I'm clearly a fan. However, lately I've been torn between the SS Sky Dweller in blue and the AP Royal Oak 41mm 15400.The Sky-D is a bit flashy for me but I love the GMT function (yes I know I already have two GMTs but I travel internationally for work quite often) and the bright gorgeous dial, heft and 42mm size. It is definitely a statement piece that will draw a lot of attention and praise. And an amazing complication by Rolex. The AP Royal Oak on the other hand, especially in blue, is an absolute classic. Simple, elegant, timeless and exudes pure class without being flashy. One of the rare watches that can be worn as a sports or dress watch. Only 10mm thick making it a very understated 41mm. Both are currently very hard to get as the AP has a boutique-only 1-2 year waiting list here in Singapore and the Sky-D might be even longer, especially the blue
