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

Diver
Do you think AP will one day release a SS diver with ceramic bezel? That would be a hell of a watch, I am sure they thought about it but IMO they don't do it because it would make too much competition with their 44mm SS pieces with ceramic bezels which go for much more than the 42mm diver, with the ceramic bezel it would clearly blow away any other dive watches on the market, even without it's one of the best, but with it the diver would achieve perfection.After more than 2 days I am still in awe with the work, finish and perfection of AP ceramic, it's just incredible and next to it all other full ceramic pieces from other brands look like poorly finished, to my very limited knowledge no other brand does that amazing mix of brushed and polished ceramic, and the vertical lines is a definite plus, I'm sure the first models with satin finish are great but those lines just gives it a little something extra

Advice about buying a 5026G from Russia
I'm seriously considering buying this watch:.chrono24.au/patekphil...-id3340967.htmI'm hesitant, because it's in Russia and it's not a chrono24 trusted seller.It does appear to be a legitimate dealer, with a fair stock of exclusive watches (and not the usual ones you'd expect to sell for quick profits if you were in the business of moving fakes).So, I'm after some advice (predicated on the fact that I'm not planning on visiting Russia anytime soon) -1. What's the best way to determine their view of 'mint' is fair?2. How can I best check that the watch is a legitimate patek?3. What's a fair and reasonable way of managing the purchase so they don't get an opportunity to take my money and run? Lastly, does anyone in the know think that price is fair and reasonable - is there usually much room to negotiate in a deal such as this?Thanks!

Incoming and honeymooning with my new Patek
First, many thanks to everyone here. I received a lot of great advice, even the conflicting opinions were valuable. In the end as watch lovers, we need to do what we want and when it sings to you, you know it is right.Second, my thanks to Dean who worked with me on this purchase, both the strategy of what to sell and what to look at. I did look at several other pieces, a Breuget Big Date Marine, Vacheron Overseas, AP RO 15400, Patek Aquanaut and another Lange, a Lange 1.With that said, this was a drawn out process, I realigned my collection, sold three pieces, lost 42 pounds and 1/2 off my wrist. I had three goals in mind when I started, improve my rotation, upgrade the quality of my collection and reduce the size of what I was wearing.I have been thrilled with my purchase and now present to you my new Patek 5711a-1a Nautilus in white. The white dials sings to me. It is sharp, clean, modern and very easy to read. The white dial is not really white in a painted sense, more like a
