My AD was interested in my 16520 and 16570

Dear TRF Members...... recently my local AD offered me to trade in both of my Rolex sports model.... My beloved 16520 "A" serial and my 16570 "A" serial Both with original box, tag and paper...etc..... He offered me the Brand New 116520 (Black) and Brand New 116610LV..... All i need to do is swap with him outright.... ( I don't need any CASH for my upgrade...sounds too good to be true...lol) would you guys do it ???
Here's mine:

If it were me I wouldn't swap either to be honest. Both of your watches are modern classics in my eyes

Been a long day, but from one excel geek to another, shouldn't it be {not swap} else {swap}:)

Didn't you mean this?

if ((do you like the ones you have) == false)
{
swap;
}
else
{
no swap;
}

In other words, if you don't like the one's you have, do the swap. Otherwise, keep your current two.

Or how about this...

if ((do you like the ones you have) != true)
{
swap;
}
else
{
no swap;
}

It does sound odd that offer. If you are wanting both models go for it. Just try to se sure you won't regret it later. Even though a great deal...you might mist the EXP?

I'll defo go with you guys advice and i'll post some picture once i've done the deal as i need to wait and make sure my Franck Muller came back with Tip Top condition before i'll accept his offer.... thanks everyones for the inputs....... will keep you guys updated.....

Sorry I'm just not buying this. It just doesn't make sense. I can't imagine that the AD or Franck Muller service center didn't polish the watch prior to pressenting it back to you. A couple of scratches is a relatively easy fix for most AD's or any service center for that matter. To note the white gold crazy hour has a high polish finish to it which is even easier to buff and polish. Also, what warrants the couple thousand dollar loss for the AD... A couple of scratches that can be buffed out...

This isn't a deal that sounds too good to be true, it's a deal that doesn't make sense.
