I currently have a 6 month old GMT Ceramic and have an opportunity to trade plus 3500 cash ( Canadian Funds ) which is about 2500 US for a new GMT Batman
The other opportunity is to outright purchase a Tudor Heritage Blue, no box or paperwork, just the watch on its own in excellent condition for 2750.00 ( Canadian funds ) so roughly 1950 US
Love the Batman as well as the Tudor
What would everyone else in the Rolex/Tudor world do?

Ryuden · 30 January 2016, 11:56 AM

If it's me, I would do the trade up the Blnr....

Danny83 · 30 January 2016, 11:57 AM

Blnr

nick c · 30 January 2016, 11:57 AM

Keep the gmt and buy the Tudor

Dubarzy · 30 January 2016, 12:04 PM

Don't get me wrong, I love my BLNR. But if I were in your shoes, I would keep the LN and buy another watch, i.e. the THC blue in this case.

watchwatcher · 30 January 2016, 12:01 PM

Respectfully, I think you would get more bang for your buck with the two watches.

I'm actually one of the few people on TRF that prefers the LN to the BLNR.

Now if you're talking about going down to one for a PM model, that's a different story...

Agree.

Rocco21 · 30 January 2016, 12:03 PM

Im a one watch guy so i would just get blnr

TimingIsEverything · 30 January 2016, 12:10 PM

Doesn't $2,500 on top of a trade of a GMTIIc seem like a lot? Isn't that about $5,500 trade value on your GMTc? Seems low to me, I would sell it outright, then pay a bit to get the BLNR.

That's pretty much what they go for Eric. 5800 asking sell point 5500. At least that is what I have seen.

That's what I was thinking.

THC all the way for me. Seems a bit much to add a dash of blue, plus I really enjoy my THC.

Seaswirl · 30 January 2016, 12:20 PM

I'd stick with the LN and add another watch. The LN is a beauty in its own right.

tkerrmd · 30 January 2016, 12:21 PM

Another vote for BLNR.

HobokenRolex · 30 January 2016, 01:11 PM

I'd go with the Tudor. You can always sell/trade for the BLNR if you're unhappy.

superstarmar · 30 January 2016, 01:22 PM

You're GMT LN is beautiful ...
Keep it and put the extra cash towards the
Tudor ... You'll be happier in the long run .
Too much extra cash plus your GMT to up
To the BLNR... 2 Gorgeous watches better than 1...

crowncollection · 30 January 2016, 01:29 PM

Waste of money IMHO buy another watch and keep the gmt you have.

THC would be money better spent, IMO. I'd get get the gray one though.

RichM · 30 January 2016, 01:37 PM

Another vote for the BLNR. I did the same thing this past Novemeber. Couldn't be happier. Go for it.

DocHorton · 30 January 2016, 01:37 PM

I don't do Tudor so I would get the BLNR, but I would get it off here from a trusted seller and save yourself some money.

Daytona88 · 30 January 2016, 01:39 PM

I would consider keeping the LN and looking at another classic like a Speedy Pro.
