The Rolex obviously, to sell, and then buy a SS Apple Watch and pocket the rest.
I'll take the more expensive one, sell it, and get something else.
That Rolex is so gaudy.
Reminds me of this:

Reminds me of this:
If the person would not be insulted by you selling the watch, I'd take the Rolex and sell it. If they would be insulted then I'd take the Apple watch and wear it.
I've never really understood why the Edition watch makes you a douche and a Rolex doesn't. There both vastly overpriced, you could buy a timepiece that will do exactly the same thing for much cheaper with both devices.
Whichever I could sell for the most money, since I wouldn't want either one. I'm not interested in a regular watch, I stopped wearing them once I started carrying a cellphone with me. And I just personally prefer silver colored jewelry, gold isn't for me. Like one person said, sell it and buy a SS Apple watch and several bands.
Can you imagine what response Rolex owners would say in the "Rolex Forum" if the same question was asked?
I'm sure they're used to gaudy Rolexes like the one pictured in the OP but not me!
I won't consider a 38mm, much less the Modern Buckle, so it'll have to be a different Edition model if I am to wear it.
It doesn't mean you might not look like a douchebag wearing a gaudy, diamond-encrusted Rolex.
I kind of immediately went with sell the Rolex, suspecting it's worth the most. I don't consider that watch to be tasteful at all. Mixes way too many materials, kind of like find all the things people associate with $s and put it in the watch. My tastes run towards the more simple and elegant, which is why I would prefer the Watch edition for wearing over that Rolex. Apple does understated pretty well.
That said I'm not a fan of that particular setup of Edition either. I've actually always been a fan of SS over gold for jewelry but will admit to seeing a few Edition watch/band combos that I could see myself wearing albeit for the price aspect. Also while looking for 3rd party high quality bands out there have seen a number of more expensive traditional watches that rock the band in the photo. To be honest though after wearing my AW for about a month now would find it hard to go back to spending money, a little or a lot, for a watch that only tells time. They really have become just jewelry to me I guess.
