Time for AP?
As I get older, I find myself not spending enough time with each watch in my collection. So I am thinking to trade a couple or maybe 3 for a AP RO or ROO. I understand many of you also have RO and/or ROO in your watch collection, and I was wondering if I can get your opinions on the move? Any of you regret picking up RO or ROO?Thinking to get rid of the Daytona and one sub for AP.
