I would do it! Plus for the date and GMT complication.

Yes you should since you are not in love with the watch.
You might get a good price.

Both great watches I would love to own. GMT BLNR probably harder to get, so if you can, do it. You can buy the 114060 again if you miss it.

I’d probably flip if I didn’t need to put too much extra in. It will be my only watch though so I’m not sure how well the PCLs will hold up.

I’ve told my local AD to put me on the list. No idea how much extra I would need to put in, but hoping it’s under £2k.

Both superb watches. As a daily I’d stick with the 114060.

100%! I had a SubC ND alongside my BLNR for a while, no contest the BLNR wins it each time though the SubC ND is a beautiful watch.

Yes! I did the same trade about a year ago and haven’t looked back! I definitely missed having the date plus the fit on the gmt master is a little better than the sub at least for my wrist.

Sure do it, or maybe not, I don't have much advice but I did stay at a Holliday Inn Express...

Do you like the 114060?
Do you like the BLNR?
Which do you like better?
How much money are you getting for the 114060?
How much money are you having to pay for the BLNR?

...for starters.

I’m a sub fan but do like the date function. PCLs can be brushed out by any jeweler quite easily if you don’t care for them. Good luck!

In a heartbeat. The 114060 is special but the BLNR is so much more!

BLNR is over-hyped, don't get it unless you really like it. Much better off with a 116610LN unless of course, you need the GMT function.

Same here, I bought mine at an AD and it didn’t excite me as much as a Sub. BLNR is possibly the most overhyped group think watch in the Rolex lineup.

Are u flipping it because you like it or because the internet people lIke it? And theres a perception its worth more?

Think hard about whether u really want it. Or you are caught up in the moment... there must be a reason u bought the subC originally.

Don’t know. The AD won’t give me a trade in value on the 114060 until he sources the GMT. I’m hoping under 2k extra.

To me, you are better off selling yours prior, then buying a BLNR

+1 either way though, I wouldn’t do it. The Sub is a more versatile piece and a classic.
