I have a 2015 JC Deepsea and 2018 Hulk, both bought from AD with box and papers. Will trade both towards an AP ROO pink gold on strap brand new box and papers + 16k cash . He’s buying my hulk for 21k and deepsea for 15k. I will be left with one rolex , a white ceramic Daytona . Should I pull the trigger?
Your input would be greatly appreciated.

I would not make that trade. Wait until the market cools down in a couple years. The AP is not going to change your life.

S52 · 27 September 2021, 02:05 PM

No

PBJ1925 · 27 September 2021, 02:24 PM

If you want it do it. The value of what you’re getting is relatively fair in that I doubt any of the greys would give you any more for your ‘trade ins’.

Don't think its a good deal. And if you want to trade up, I would only trade the JC Deepsea not with the hulk, and that's because the Deepsea is too thick for my wrist.

OrangeSport · 27 September 2021, 03:16 PM

No

Don’t like the ROO

kilyung · 27 September 2021, 03:20 PM

If you like the AP, then go for it but it's a one way street. You're not getting that same deal in reverse so you better not want those Rolex anymore unless you're willing to potentially pay more in the future.

macrowatch · 27 September 2021, 04:04 PM

I’d do it, but preferably a slightly better outcome is to get the new ROO from an AP botique. Though you’d probably top up even more cash in this scenario.

What is the age of the AP in this trade? New?

chieftd · 27 September 2021, 05:51 PM

No from me, especially at that trade offer.

Cheers

Boaters · 27 September 2021, 05:59 PM

That's a bad trade.

Benzsiam · 27 September 2021, 08:53 PM

Only you that know, if you love AP ROO more than DSSD JC & the Hulk, it's worth it.

For me I love both brands but I would keep DSSD JC & the Hulk in my collection for long long time, they are two of the best Rolex.

AP is the best in Rose Gold bracelet, the most gorgeous.

AJMarcus · 27 September 2021, 10:47 PM

IMO that’s not a good trade. The ROO is the least valuable of the RO divers. Your hulk is a long term keeper. Have you seen the price of them on the secondary market? A year or two from now he could be paying you cash.

dhknola · 27 September 2021, 10:54 PM

I would not; I think AP is a major bubble waiting to pop.

Really great advice Mike

10XRolex · 27 September 2021, 11:52 PM

I have the JC and the Hulk as well as a few ROO's(not the rose gold). Though the rose gold is stunning, I don't think I would be willing to lose out on those two Rolex's to make the change. Unless you are talking about the new 43mm ROO, I might have to make that move.

uniqueMR · 28 September 2021, 12:25 AM

No.

My boys are right, however AP is a cut above, if the ROO is a 43 or 44 then I'd go for it.

Rori · 28 September 2021, 12:30 AM

Not in AP's dreams I would do that.

Little machines · 28 September 2021, 05:12 AM

If you need the AP then do it. I would not personally do it. Take your time with that trade! Good luck !!

Robf52 · 28 September 2021, 05:23 AM

No; would not give up a Hulk.

Driver8 · 28 September 2021, 05:27 AM

As always, most replies here are purely concerned with “monetary value”. That’s a peculiarity of Rolex forums only: step outside of the Rolex brand and no-one mentions future value at all.

For me it ALWAYS comes down to what I piece I prefer aesthetically, and to own and wear. Watches are a hobby for me - nothing more, nothing less - and once the money is spent I consider it a sunk cost. I fail to see the attraction of keeping something I don’t love just because it’s “hard to get” or may “go up in value”. So with that in mind I’d say buy, wear and enjoy the piece(s) you prefer most.

GolfJunkie · 28 September 2021, 05:39 AM

I would not.

jaychief · 28 September 2021, 05:44 AM

Laostuh · 28 September 2021, 06:49 AM

No, not for an AP on a strap. MAYBE if it was on a bracelet, even then I feel like you're giving up a lot. But if you have to have it, I would do less cash. Not a fan of giving of the Hulk either. But to each their own.

Avs Fan · 28 September 2021, 07:38 AM

I have both of those (albeit the 126660 JC) and no, I would not trade them.

1665fan · 28 September 2021, 09:55 AM

I would trade 2 mediocre Rolex and cash for AP…..hulk is an all time great…..add more cash and keep it or trade something else

HideMyWalletPlease · 28 September 2021, 10:24 AM

APROO used to trade below retail. Now because of the rising tide of all of the other luxury watches APROO are way up. Since this was one of the last to rise, may be one of the first to fall. I can tell you this though. AP is also revoking AD’s unless they build a special AP section and they are moving toward mostly boutiques. It’s not so easy to get a RO right now. In my opinion, a ROO is attainable from the boutique with a little patience. I have one AP it is a APROO. Mine was purchased from an AD and registered in my name with AP, so hopefully that will help me in the future if I wanted another watch.

Anyway I think the gold case APROO watches are lovely.
