you'll get bored of the AK. it's just another black dial with the same bracelet as your sub. i'm guessing flipping the BLNR for essentially 18k is probably more appealing than getting the AK, nothing wrong with that but i definitely wouldn't use those extra funds on an AK with your collection, at least go for an OP with some kind of colored dial

I would keep the BLNR and sell the Sub. It's useful to have a GMT complication in the collection and the Sub/GMT looks a bit similar and waterproof on the GMT is good enough even for diving.

You have a perfect 3 watches (Land, Air and Sea), I would rather keep that collection.

You probably love the idea of free Air King.

Your watch your money, do whatever make you happy.

From my perspective I can't see how a GMT overlaps with a Diver and a Chrono but if you don't want it you should sell it.

Its hard to pass 2x'ing your money. I was offered 20k, months ago for my BLNR on jubilee and I passed. I wasn't trying to sell it, it was a passive offer by an acquaintance. I would just keep it and save for another watch down the road.

I would take the 18k and sit for a minute. The AK does nothing for me and with the money you can explore a lot of options.

Another vote to sell it for what appears to be a great price, if you are inclined to sell.

Between the two watches (BLNR and Air King), I prefer BLNR. Money-wise, the proposed deal makes sense. It sounds like you’re going for the watch you’d most like to have in your trio, so why not.

So, basically swapping out a BLNR for an Air-King? Good lord, no.

Take the 18K and might consider the BLRO, CHNR, or a YM.
