Sorry, another trade question….

[mmbiker]

I have a 126710BLNR and a trade offer for a 16710 (with black insert) plus cash of full retail price of the 12671BLNR.

My idea is, do the deal and try to find a blue/red insert.

What’s the opinion here?

Pics help the decision.

I would, not a huge fan of the BLNR, great in pics but doesn’t do much for me in person. I think the LN versions of the GMT are the best, but getting a “pepsi” bezel gives you two watches, sort of.

So what you’re saying is that if you’re willing to be patient with your AD you can get a free 16710? Did you get tires at msrp?

I’m not sure I follow but what you’re saying is your BLNR at MSRP (not resale street price) for a 16710 LN plus some cash.

If do it if it’s about $5k back. That BLNR is popular but as above says it’s 3 watches in one and a classic you get back. And I also agree that the GMTcLN is the best of the modern GMTc variants. Pure class with that green text.

I read it as a 16710 plus about $11,000 cash.

Run and close that deal. Thank you for clarifying.

Current, get full MSRP price on my BLNR and get a 16710 LN for free for this trade.

Sorry guys, what’s a GMTc? Is that 16710?

Was how people referred to the original 116710 - the first ceramic ("c") bezel GMT.


And I’d that’s the case, and AD can/will allocate you another GMT in a reasonable time, this seems like a deal in your favor. Even better if you don’t love the BLNR but prefer vintage/semi-vintage.

Thanks dannyp!

I do like the vintage GMT with the smaller number and dome style look. That is why I like my Tudor GMT. If I get this deal, will really need to get rid of the Tudor….

Would like to get the Pepsi bezel for it (how the hack do I do this?).

In that case, perhaps trade the Tudor GMT for the Black Bay Pro? Vintage aesthetic, smaller diameter, and entirely different look (borrowing from the original Explorer II).

I would do it but to be clear - 16710 does not have a done style. That would be a 1675/16750. Great watch and getting a bezel is easy. You'll be able to get it from a forum member.

[Milehighmiracle]

That’s a pretty damn good deal I think. I’d consider trading my BLRO for that.

[Andad]

Do it.

[kegan]

Unless that is one hideous 16710 I’d say you are getting a great deal
