Rolex 126655, 126500LN or AP 15450ST
Between the models which one would you choose for 30k?
All new condition. I own a 116500LN white, 126710BLNR and 126610LV. Always wanted a rubber strap watch and the Yacht master got my attention recently. Wrist size is 6.3 inches. |

I’d go with one of the Rolexes.
Unless you’re in the rap industry, you should avoid the AP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You've already got a Daytona and you've always wanted a rubber strap, so the YM is the clear choice.

I definitely would also choose the AP. I think in this time you get a really nice price.

OP, both the YM and AP are great. Both give you some added variety. Only thing with the YM if you're buying grey is to find the right OF straps. |

Not personally a fan of the YM line and love the RO so it’d be a very easy choice for me to make.
The 37mm RO would fit your wrist amazingly well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you want a rubber strap then the YM is the choice. I have the same wrist size and initially went with the 40mm YM but found the Oysterflex strap a bit uncomfortable. The fins dug into the side of my wrist. I ended up getting the 37mm instead. So much more comfortable on my smaller wrist.
I also have the 15450 and love it. |

Any all black option would work with your fantastic dream collection. What about white gold YM on rubber?

APRO for me. But, it'd have to be the current one with the modernized movement & updated bracelet.

That’s a tough one. I really love the yachtmaster on oysterflex. But since you have other Rolexes and no AP I’d go royal oak in this case.

I would keep the 116500LN and flip the other two plus some cash to the 126655 and AP 15450ST RO. That would be an epic trio.
