To flip 2 x non-Rolex for a BLNR
Hi, just wanted to get some thoughts. Since I got my SS Daytona White back in May, the wrist time of my IWC Aquatimer 2000 and Baume & Mercer 8689 is significantly less.

I also wanted to get a BLNR, should I flip the IWC and B&M for BLNR. That said, I still need to throw in more than 1/2 the price of a BLNR for the trade, while losing a range of watch portfolio - becoming just Rolex. I currently have a 116520 (as mentioned), DJ inherited (no wrist-time but will not sell) and Sub LV (about 25-30% of wrist time at the moment).

Some thoughts?

I still need to have about $5K - $5.5K cash-out including the trade.

Wow, didnt know that the IWC would be valued so low. Well, seems like you know the answer anyway. Go for it.

The IWC and B&M aren't getting the wrist time and you want a BLNR, so you know the answer. Go for it!

it's a nice IWC, but, if you don't mind two watches with PCLs and have the spare cash, might as well go for what you want.

You're getting the short end of the stick on trade value methinks. If it is possible, sell them and get better value. Then hunt a pre-loved BLNR here on TRF to get a better deal.

Completely agree, the trade seems to be highly on the other party's favor. Perhaps selling those and using the money to buy a BLNR would be a better idea!
