straight trade?

As much as I love the BLNR, I don't feel good about this one.

What is the condition of all watches involved?

I'd try and hang on to the Pelagos and flip the LN towards a BLNR.
I like a diver in the mix. Otherwise, yes I'd do it.

I don’t like the 2 watches trade for the BLNR.

Not a good trade!

I would not swap for a BLNR. LN plus a watch is quite a premium, swapping form the LN to BLNR.

Nobody is going to take a straight up LN to BLNR trade.

X2! is your ln pretty beat up? I know you can get in's on the grey market fairly cheap but that seams like a lop sided deal..


that being said, want to trade?! lol

I did trade an LN GMT (plus £1700) for BLNR. From what I know today I would not do that again.

First of all the all black GMT is very versatile and nice watch, BLNR was cool and all but almost liked the LN better (would have been nicer with blue or red GMT hand instead of green).

Secondly, I discovered that the real issue for me was that I do not like the GMT with maxi case fat lugs and fat numbered bezel at all so I sold the BLNR too and will have to remind myself not to buy another 6-didgit GMT as the urge comes back now and then.

With regards to you specific trade, what is the value of pelagos.. around 2k? If so I guess it's a fair deal.

I wouldn’t. You’ve already got a nice little collection, no reason to lose a watch only to get a half of bezel in blue.

The BLNR looks like the offspring of your GMT and Pelagos. I would hold what you have.

Bad idea imho. Hold fast, the LN is a nicer watch from my POV.

Not by much of a margin but it’s not the greatest swap so I wouldn’t.

Your going to give up a complete fine Swiss made diver with 500m depth rating, titanium construction, amazing lume, cool clasp and nice bezel action just so the bottom half of your GMT bezel can be blue?? I dont think so!

I like the BLNR but the values seem off and not in your favor.

Basically, you’ll be trading a Tudor Pelagos for half a sliver of blue ceramic?

Not a trade I would do.

I might! I would be more tempted to let the LN go for the BLNR and add the additional cash.
