Would you trade a 16570 explorer 2 black face for a dssd?

joe100 · 16 April 2013, 08:47 PM

No because I don't like the DSSD. Do what you'd like to do though.

shalako · 16 April 2013, 09:33 PM

Yes, without hesitation as long as you get a fair price for your Explorer and can handle the size of the DSSD.

Cabaiguan · 16 April 2013, 09:33 PM

No way.

I would trade...

Jake B · 16 April 2013, 09:56 PM

You haven't really given much detail, so...

Well, it depends what side of the trade I was on. I'll go at it assuming that hypothetically I'm the owner of the EXP II, and that both watches are used examples.

1- I don't like the DSSD, and I wouldn't wear it.
2- The DSSD is worth much more $$
3- With this in mind, yes, I would trade my EXPII for a DSSD. Then, I'd sell the DSSD, buy back another EXPII, and pocket the difference or spend it on a used Air King.

Psmith · 16 April 2013, 09:58 PM

I'm not crazy about either of those watches, but if the numbers work out and you like the DSSD then go for it

gpfps · 16 April 2013, 10:02 PM

If it's a even trade, heck yah !

Bernie.H. · 16 April 2013, 10:13 PM

Yes, definitely.

A straight trade offer would send my "too good to be true" radar off the charts.
Used values of both watches in similar condition are off by a factor of 2 in favor of the DSSD.

What is the backstory to your question?
Real-world or is it hypothetical...

Cru Jones · 16 April 2013, 11:08 PM

nope.

rolex75216 · 17 April 2013, 12:29 AM

I would keep the Explorer 2 as there is an advantage to having the GMT feature on the watch.

sea-dweller · 17 April 2013, 01:16 AM

No, the DSSD is too large for my small wrists.

cop414 · 17 April 2013, 01:18 AM

Probably not, just my opinion.

xtra3cats · 17 April 2013, 02:04 AM

I don't think so. I need the 16570 features more than the dssd's.

Ichaice · 17 April 2013, 04:26 AM

Interesting one. I bought a brand new Deepsea but just found it sat too high on the wrist so I sold it. I've now got an Explorer II which I took in a trade. I like it a lot more than I thought I would. It's easily the most comfortable watch I've ever worn.

If it was me I would keep the Explorer II but its your choice.

nick c · 17 April 2013, 04:39 AM

I would do it

Roller07 · 17 April 2013, 05:57 AM

Without more detail I can't give a good answer but, I personally, don't like the DSSD so I wouldn't trade ANY watch for a DSSD.
