Very important you do then. It is a very photogenic watch and much nicer in pics vs irl.

I do think the meteorite dial falls into this category slightly.

If you haven't seen the blue dial version, would be worth taking a look as that is the opposite of the meteorite - not great in pictures but the way the blue dial and the WG pairs is difficult to describe.

Nope

I would go along with those who said selling two probably the black Daytona and BLRO and add cash for the meteorite dial. The GMT Meteorite is on a different level.

Many also said and I agree that the GMT Meteorite dial is better in person than in photo, simply because it is not easy to capture the beauty of the dial in photos. Dial may be less legible and for me that's not a big issue.

If you bought the three at list why not ?

I have the four watches you are talking about and trust me the 126719 MTR isn’t that special , keep the three !

Thanks for the guidance. You're right...the 126655 was the first watch that I bought just because I've loved it ever since it was released. Didn't care about the hype (or lack thereof). That one just "spoke to me."

Can't beat real world feedback from an owner of one! If you have 2 mins and want to share more about why you're not crazy about it, I'd love to hear.

imsayingthough · 12 January 2021, 01:28 AM

terrible trade

Viking · 12 January 2021, 01:41 AM

Never, ever

Golfbone · 12 January 2021, 06:01 AM

Agree with those who advise against this trade. I think you'd be getting hosed on every level and from every angle.

Aterth · 12 January 2021, 08:00 AM

I think its a bad deal.

mickyd329 · 12 January 2021, 08:36 AM

Crazy!
If you really had to, I would unload the BLNR and Yacht Master.

envuks · 12 January 2021, 09:26 AM

I’ve been following this one. I’m amazed that the advice / perspective isn’t more balanced on this trade.

Here are some additional thoughts in support of my “yes” post above (not that I expect anyone to care except me).

The 3 SS pieces were purchased at MSRP. I assume these pieces are used in some form/fashion. Maybe that’s just stickers removed, who really knows except the op. So that’s ~$33k into the deal. $33k for the piece in question seems like a no brainer to me.

Forget grey market funny business prices for a moment. Msrp to msrp. I get it, not a current fair market compare, but it’s a “real money in” compare.

The Op is also unlikely to get trusted seller prices even if selling the 3 pieces privately to then buy the WG GMT.

This just seems far easier and still a good enough deal. The convenience of it being an easy swap seems valuable

Can’t say if I would do it or not but the meteorite in the flesh is amazing!! Hope to get mine one day

How is this something someone even considers? No

Curious who among those responded here have actually seen the GMT meteorite in the flesh? This is a relatively rare piece so I guess many haven had the chance to do so, even at grey dealers.

Oyster Sauce · 13 January 2021, 01:06 AM

No, please don't do it.

VogelPhoenix · 13 January 2021, 03:12 AM

No for me, but then I like any one of your trio better than the meteorite GMT.

ervelo · 13 January 2021, 03:14 AM

horrible, horrible deal

Sell the black dial Daytona and either the steel Pepsi or LV and then just add a little cash and you will be there.

As the OP is banned, I don't think any additional advice is going to assist them in their deliberation...
