Deep Sea or 16613 Gold/Blue

OK guys here is my conundrum... ive got a Deepsea (gets very little wrist time) but honestly prefer to wear my standard Sub (114060) and after purchasing a new PAM359 ive got my "big watch"
im looking at a trade on nice 16613 2 tone blue and gold/silver
its a 2006 model my DS is 2012 model

whats our opinions on a straight swap on this? Am i selling myself short? or is it apples for apples so to speak
pics of said Sub (we all know what a DS looks like)

you could easily swap the deep sea for a late model sub, you are 100% selling yourself short with the older model.

Yeah I had a feeling that was the case... Only problem I'm posted in Malaysia at the moment and they don't like bigger watches here(smaller wrists generally) so my deepsea doesn't hold the same value here .... Might give it a miss and wait till I get back to Australia at the end of the year

I would do that!! and if at that time you still have the two tone bug, im sure you could trade the deepsea for a late model sub.

I'd hang fire. Your DSSD isn't going to depreciate by an amount that's going to make a difference to anyone's life in the near future

Ok so I've been offered a hulk now... My deep sea is a 2012 and the hulk is a 2015( so still has warranty)
I do like the green but I don't know if it would be a fad and I'd just be getting it for the sake of "getting" it to get something different....
Also not sure if $ for $ is worth a straight trade?
Decisions decisions.......
