Trade my 368 for a 217...

[Jonnyindy]

The 217 has invaded my mind

Considering trading my 368(+$) for a 217...

similarities
47mm
1950 case
Dial layout
Destro
Domed crystal
Gold hands
Limited to 1000 units


Differences
8 day vs 3 day
In house mvmt vs. ETA based OPX1
Ti case vs. SS case
Tobacco dial vs. black dial
Luminor vs. Marina Militare printed on dial


(Not my pic)

I love everything about the 368, the 8 day movement, the case material, size, and design. I don't like the "8 Days" printed on the dial.
I love the history of the 217, and the Marina Militare on the dial...

My 368 may increase in value, in several years. The 217 has doubled in value in 6+ years and holding steady.

It would probably take my 368 plus the $$ I've saved for the new Exp2 to buy a 217...

Or maybe just keep saving and have both....

Anyone else compare these 2? What did you decide?

Thanks
