Would you?

Hi fellow trf would trade a bnib Skydweller white dial for a black dial that is 8 months old plus 1t? I’m actually waiting for the blue dial my AD told me that as soon as gets one it’s mine. So it’s a waiting game what do you guys think?

I think it’s just a matter of white or black dial preference.. personally I prefer the black all things equal

Why not just continue to wait for the blue dial if you're definitely next in line? I can't imagine it would be more than 6 months. Do you hate the white dial that much?

No i think it looks good. I got a blue one before I like it better but I accidentally drop it and damage the watch that’s why I decided to sell it. I got the white to take out the itch since there is no blue available yet.

Do you like the black more than the white?

I'd just wait for the blue if that is the endgame.

Haven’t seen the black one on hand. It’s just close to blue the only thing I’m debating is I’m getting a 8 month old watch plus 1t and trade a new white one

No matter what you get, eight months from now will make any watch eight months older. Condition is far more important than age.

If you do decide to trade, you can always sell the black dial whenever the blue finally comes in. You might even decide that you prefer the black.

Personally, I'd wait.

I’m still trying to decipher the proposed transaction. You have to trade your white BNIB Skydweller for a used black dial Skydweller plus you have to give them $1,000? No, I would not make that trade.

Sell your white Skydweller on the secondary market for more than MSRP and then wait for the blue dial one if it has been promised to you.

Wait for the blue then easy decision. I would not settle for one I did not want personally as I only buy watches I really want from the start!

How much do you need the 1k now? Because you’ll need to give it back for the blue.

Wait for the blue, why bother messing about trading for black when you want the blue. Personally the white is my favourite as its very clean looking but blue seems to be the most desirable, which I can understand as the sunburst dial is gorgeous.

IMO, none of the watches you're talking about look as good as the watch in your avatar.

Deal on the black and get blue too if you dislike the white. White doesn’t even come close imo, Well most of markets opinion too.

What’s 1t? I personally wouldn’t do it since I prefer white over black.
