I have struggle a lot...
I have spent lots of months thinking of the further of my Sub LV.
I like the Audemars Piguet RO too much indeed now. I find the RO fits my daily work a little bit better. I am not a diver and will never dive more than 5m in a swimming pool. I recently cannot own too many watches. Hence, I will try to flip my Sub to a AP RO about some months of saving..... Sad for me and LV.

What do you guys and girls think? [cry...]

You have to do what makes you happiest! Good luck.

Terry Newton · 27 April 2008, 02:16 AM

I love watches an would hate to be top-heavy in any one brand as there are so many that catch my attention. I can only afford so many. How many Rolex watches do you own? Adding an AP to your stable would give you a well rounded collection. You have a JLC also? What other brands do you own?

The key is to do what is going to make you happiest. I have a TT GMT IIc and a SS Date Submariner and a Tag Heuer Kirium Chronometer and a RGM Chronograph. I look at my collection as being well rounded. I would like to add a GO or a Lange to it as well.

Decisions - half the fun.

It is difficult for me to keep the LV if I go for the AP. I have sold all my earlier Rolex-watches and lately got the LV. My JLC is from 60s - old and nice. I dont wear it much since it is not so hardy and versatile as the lv.

SPACE-DWELLER · 5 May 2008, 05:44 AM

Lovely AP!

At the end of the day, only you can decide. Still, I'd keep the LV, if you ask me.

unclesallie · 5 May 2008, 05:53 AM

I don't really like the LV Sub, but I would not part with it for the watch you propose. Having said that, doesn't really matter what I want or think...it's what makes you happy.
best,

It's all about being happy with your watch. There's really no right or wrong answer.

Jedi · 7 May 2008, 02:34 PM

The AP RO is an iconic timepiece and comes with a very nice JLC movement.

I like the shape a lot, but it doesn't ride well on my wrist, so I passed on it a few years ago. But if it works for you, then kudos. The LV isn't my cup of tea as I'm not a fan of green tea...

Agree!!!

mikey · 13 May 2008, 01:53 AM

I know what you are saying, but I would probably sell the LV since its bothering you. Maybe the Green does not mesh well with you. I have gotten rid of watches because of dial color or the fact it was just not doing it for me.

DSJ · 13 May 2008, 01:55 AM

What do I think? Why are you crying? The decision is made, look forward!

mickeydainish · 13 June 2008, 09:35 PM

decisions decisions...... :-) :-) Go with your gut mate!!!!

Spencer · 10 August 2008, 04:08 PM

Ro all the way. I am in the process of selling my LV and PAM111 for an AP ROO.

watchhh · 9 February 2009, 06:09 PM

Go for it

Personally I would keep the LV, but it's all about what makes you happy...

yannis · 11 February 2009, 05:49 PM

Can't you just have both? They are both great watches anyway!

The perfect answer

time · 16 February 2009, 10:46 PM

I had both for a while!

However, the LV is now exchanged to a classic Datejust.

Bothe are very nice. Love the Rolex steel and its solid build, but I also love the the AP movement, detalis etc...

umngmc · 1 March 2009, 02:22 AM

go with your gut. my grail watch was the IWC ingenieur and i had to get it before the Sub LV and SD. like the AP, i like the more rugged styling of the INgenieur. but i do plan on adding those Rollies to my collection as well in the very near future....

bodybump · 2 March 2009, 12:49 AM

What ever makes you happy go for it....but if you will ask me..Ill stick with the LV if the AP RO you comparing is that one...there are a lot of ver beautiful AP's out there..but might be very very expensive...

I love the LV. I know AP makes a top watch but this one does nothing for me too be honest. The LV is a much sharper looking watch to me.

Hooper · 29 April 2010, 11:36 AM

Keep the Sub LV, but thats just me. I think you will regret it if you let it go !

MitchSteel · 29 April 2010, 02:33 PM

Being a Rolex fan, I'd say-LV.....However, RO is very very nice, besides, you can always sell it in a flash and get an LV if you get tired of AP.just my thoughts

RO!

hennabav · 7 May 2010, 05:26 AM

Definitely pick the watch that makes you smile and proud. The AP's are gorgeous but upkeep can get a little expensive from what I hear. Rolex's are more reasonable...but don't get me wrong...I probably would buy an AP someday as well.

jedinite · 11 December 2010, 03:10 AM

You have to do what you feel is right

SoCalDweller · 2 February 2012, 09:23 AM

Wow! I'm facing the same exact dilemma (green sub Z-serial) except I'm also open to trading for a daytona OR the RO....

My kermit is flashy but it brings me joy...I always vowed to keep a sub or a seadweller in my possession, but if I see a good RO/Daytona example, I may just pull the trigger.

saber6 · 13 February 2012, 03:17 PM

tough choice, good luck either way
