Opinion Wanted - Trade In Rolex Exp 2 Polar for AP RO 33mm
Lads,
I am getting a bit tempted to Trade in my Exp2 Polar for a AP 33mm Blue Quartz RO or the Nautilus 3900. The main reasons are as follows: 1. Add AP / Patek to collection. I don't have any AP's / Patek's at the moment 2. The watch is really slim and I can wear it 24X7 3. I have a 16.5cm wrist so a 33mm with Lug to Lug 42 would look ok. I know its a quartz and I am not fussy about having an automatic movement. The other option is I might go for a 36mm Automatic AP RO. Please let me know your thoughts on this TIA |

The 36mm day date moon AP is a good option since you’re considering that size. More expensive though.
How about the Parmigiani PF micro rotor? |

AP Royal Oak 36mm 14790 automatic or AP Royal Oak 37mm 15450 automatic.
Forget 33mm quartz. |

All of the things that make AP special, none of those are in the 33mm quartz....

I think it's OK to trade Exp2 to AP but I would rather go for 36mm minimum (not 33mm).

Value wise I would not do this.
Looks wise I would not do this Daily wear wise I would not do this I appreciate smaller watches, down to 36 ok. But 33mm is very small…you should be able to find a good deal. If you absolutely are sure that is the watch for you then your question is answered before it is asked.

36.5mm to 39mm Royal Oaks are a great fit for 6.5”-7.5” wrists… But the only quartz watch I would do this trade for would be a Patek or Rolex Beta21 or a 18k OysterQuartz Day-Date…

Yeah, I am too rethinking the AP quartz. Might go for the Patek 3900/1 33mm Quartz.

I was referring to getting one of the Patek or Rolex Beta21’s or OQ DD’s instead in the $13K-$25K range. But that’s me… https://www.thewatchbox.com/de/en/bl...-movement.html https://revolutionwatch.com/absolute...1-quartz-funk/

I wouldn't buy a particular brand because I didn't have a watch from that brand in my collection, but each to our own. If you can flip a watch you don't want and get one you do want and will wear and enjoy it, you only live once and the Explorer will hopefully go to a home that appreciates it.
If you have to ask a bunch of strangers, maybe that's your brain's way of trying to tell you that you haven't convinced it yet? |
