Hi all, I currently own a V series S/S GMT II C, a friend who owns a LIKE NEW V series 2 tone sub 16613 offer me for an even swap. I like both watches and I can take this opportunity upgrade to a 2 tone at no cost except it does not have the new bracelet and super case like my GMTll C. I also own a Sub LV S/S 16610, that's why I am considering a two tone model. Should I do the trade or not?

Follow your heart.

Which Rolex would you TRULY want more?

Dan2010 · 1 July 2011, 06:05 AM

No. The GMT is the bomb and you already have a Sub. Keep what ya got and be happy. However, if you do for some reason still want to make the trade, it is pretty close to an even trade in my opinion. Depends on the condition of both watches.

You already have a beautiful Sub. GMT 2C is awesome, too. Keep your watches, IMHO.

CharlieSF · 1 July 2011, 06:30 AM

If it was me I'd stay put. You have two great watches! Good luck on your decision.

HPY · 1 July 2011, 06:30 AM

I wouldnt do it

khmyjy · 1 July 2011, 10:23 AM

I like the combination of his Sub, two tone with blue dial, very nice looking watch but I feel like I go backward if I trade my new generation Gmt to his 16613 Sub.

globalmedia33 · 1 July 2011, 10:27 AM

I would NEVER do it. NO....NO.... and NO.

mmmmp · 1 July 2011, 10:47 AM

No. You'll regret it.

tomallen · 1 July 2011, 05:58 PM

I just did the opposite. I traded my mint 16613 for a new GMT II C even up. Go with what you like.

htc8p · 1 July 2011, 06:20 PM

i say no.

the movement of dj and sub is the same

the gmt is unique stick with it.

if you really want gold trade using the dj

khmyjy · 2 July 2011, 01:02 AM

Good idea Bert, trade in my DJ instead but I just have to pay out more cash.

HDHNTER · 2 July 2011, 01:51 AM

I would keep the GMTIIc & flip the DJ.

slcbbrown · 2 July 2011, 02:42 AM

The tt Sub makes a nice addition, when you already have an all stainless version.

vakaio · 2 July 2011, 02:48 AM

I thought 2 tone sub has a higher value?

mrbill2mrbill2 · 2 July 2011, 02:58 AM

I would not do it!

khmyjy · 2 July 2011, 04:16 AM

Steve, you read my mind, the main reason I consider to trade is I already have a S/S LV and a S/SGMTllC but I don/t have a two tone.

perpetualman88 · 2 July 2011, 04:24 AM

dont do it 2 tone is ugly and the bracelet will sag after a while

Justjosh · 2 July 2011, 04:27 AM

I'd keep what you have.

Ridiculious presumption on your part.

tomchicago · 2 July 2011, 05:11 AM

i tried on a bunch of maxi-case-maxi-dialed rollies over the last week. i just couldn't make them work. i find the previous case/dials have far more grace and flexibility. the new ones are super nice too, with great upgrades, but just different.

AJMarcus · 2 July 2011, 06:18 AM

If you really want the 16613 then if it were me I'd trade the DJ.

Not so much when it comes to resale.

Does this qualify for 'dumbest post of the year' so far?.

Z-Sub · 2 July 2011, 11:57 AM

I wouldn't.

khmyjy · 3 July 2011, 11:57 PM

I saw a two tone GMTll C serial in very good condition yesterday for $8000, is it reasonable?

dooder202 · 4 July 2011, 12:03 AM

8,000 CAN Dollars? Because no that's higher than the US list price. I see like new ones in the for sale section of the forum for 7,000

You may want to keyword search on TRF about "bracelet" and "stretch" before jumping to your conclusion. I think you'll learn some interesting facts.

TimeToGo · 4 July 2011, 12:11 AM

I do not think it is a good trade.
