Hi, just wanted to get some thoughts. Since I got my SS Daytona White back in May, the wrist time of my IWC Aquatimer 2000 and Baume & Mercer 8689 is significantly less.

I also wanted to get a BLNR, should I flip the IWC and B&M for BLNR. That said, I still need to throw in more than 1/2 the price of a BLNR for the trade, while losing a range of watch portfolio - becoming just Rolex. I currently have a 116520 (as mentioned), DJ inherited (no wrist-time but will not sell) and Sub LV (about 25-30% of wrist time at the moment).

Some thoughts?

I still need to have about $5K - $5.5K cash-out including the trade.

Yes

travisb · 26 August 2014, 06:41 PM

The IWC and B&M aren't getting the wrist time and you want a BLNR, so you know the answer. Go for it!

Wow, didnt know that the IWC would be valued so low. Well, seems like you know the answer anyway. Go for it.

jack81 · 26 August 2014, 07:13 PM

Trade what you dont wear anymore. Life is to short. Enjoy the batman. Its such a cool watch.

Cru Jones · 26 August 2014, 07:27 PM

it's a nice IWC, but, if you don't mind two watches with PCLs and have the spare cash, might as well go for what you want.

Snow-Dweller · 26 August 2014, 07:30 PM

Yes. The BLNR is great.

AK797 · 26 August 2014, 08:10 PM

I certainly would!!! The IWC is a great watch, however, the BLNR is a fantastic watch!!

77T · 26 August 2014, 10:10 PM

You're getting the short end of the stick on trade value methinks. If it is possible, sell them and get better value. Then hunt a pre-loved BLNR here on TRF to get a better deal.

texex91 · 26 August 2014, 10:15 PM

Trade in a heartbeat.

Chelseafan · 26 August 2014, 10:15 PM
