Trade Patek 5726 AC for AP Montoya Rose Gold

Hi all, a friend is keen to give up his Montoya and would like my Patek 5726. Should I do this..? The AC is black leather strap. The Montoya looks really good in rose gold and black dial face and is limited to 500 pieces. He is willing to do a straight swop.

I already have a rose gold 15300OR black dial face.

Advise please..?

Cheers.

Full set? Seems ok from a value perspective.

You might want to let the 15300 go since its also rose gold black face.

Not sure, not a huge fan of the Montoya so I'd probably stick to the PP.

I’d stick with the 5726, and I usually like AP better than PP. Ultimately, though, if you like the AP better, then that’s all that matters.

Montoya in RG is very impressive. I'll do the upgrade.

I think... no, I know, that you should just sit and mull over whether the AP is more desirable than the PP or not.
Here’s a bit of a novel thought, if he’s a true proper friend (not just a semi-regular acquaintance), agree a 14 day period (or less/more) whereby you can swap back.

I say go for what you like more... if I don't care much about a watch I don't care if it's a unicorn, if it's a great investment bla bla bla, am I going to wear yay or nay? and which one do I prefer to wear. Forget about Patek vs AP some will take a Rolex over both brands.
