should i flip
Hi everyone, new member here in need of some advice . I currently have a 16610 and a 16613 bluesy but am really hankering for a SD. I think i will flip the 16613 to fund the puchase but just cannot seem to make the final decision as in the past have sold an AP ROO rubberclad and an IWC Big Pilot and then regretted it.Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks

I would keep the 16610 and the 16613 bluesy and add an SD to your present collection and here I would have a awesome collection!

Maybe sell the 16610 instead? That way you'd have one TT and one S/S watch for a bit of variety.
No point selling the Bluesy and ending up with two S/S watches that look very similar... |

I would go for trading the 16610 for the 16600 since they are very similar, but if you will take the bluesy (sorry Padi, it's just shorter ) out of the rotation anyway, I guess it's time to trade it off. Hope this helps.

Keep what you have--when you can add--add without selling one!! PS--As an AP ROO Rubberclad owner--go get that watch back--one of my favorite watches of all time!

What is a bluesy ??? no such Rolex watch, its a blue dial TT sub, if you want a SD just go for it.

If you want the SD,as advised by Singslinger, sell the 16610 date/sub as they are very alike anyway in looks and keep the TT Sub fo a different look. I would say the same if it was the DSSD.

I would flip the bluesy for a SD any day.
Don't mean to rub it in but no way I would have flipped an AP ROO or IWC Big Pilot. |
