Do it

Nycturbovr6 · 23 November 2016, 10:27 AM

Go for it!

watchwatcher · 23 November 2016, 10:29 AM

It looks great on you, and you obviously like it, or you wouldn't have tried it on 5 times...what's stopping you?

Miguelon · 23 November 2016, 10:32 AM

Cost is my hesitation...BLNR is the most I've spent thus far, it's a big jump...it would also be me my one and only daily driver (besides my speedy pro)

Def go for it, beautiful watch

Watchgeek5000 · 23 November 2016, 10:37 AM

That store looks familiar. Tourneau?
I would go someplace that would offer you a discount.

Rolex addict · 23 November 2016, 10:40 AM

Do it!! The Smurf is absolutely incredible!!! You won't regret it.

Understandable. Give our trusted sellers a shot and see what they can do for you.

Absolutely, need to save as much as poss on PMs, but so worth it.

Old Geezer · 23 November 2016, 11:31 AM

Do it. The BLNR is nice but the smurf is in another league altogether.

Toony · 23 November 2016, 11:34 AM

I did the exact same swap earlier this year. I haven't looked back.

r8t3d_M · 23 November 2016, 11:36 AM

What are you waiting for?! Just kidding..I'd be hesitant as well. I don't think I could ever sell or trade any of my pieces but the Smurf is as good as it gets.

Ritch99 · 23 November 2016, 11:37 AM

Do it, do not hesitate, you wont be sorry...

douglasf13 · 23 November 2016, 11:40 AM

Don't do it. Rolex sports models should be steel.

Miguelon · 23 November 2016, 11:44 AM

Thank you all for the enabling. Those of you who own it, quick question. Do you ever find it's too bright blue or too loud? I know it's not YG but curious if the brightness of the blue stands out in everyday situations. I'm not comfortable attracting too much attention. Do you get many comments in your 116619?

Meme-Dweller · 23 November 2016, 11:48 AM

The blue is not loud. Not much louder than a blue Tudor Pelagos. WG is relatively stealth, unlike YG.

As long as the AD is giving you a good deal, no worries. You can sell your BLNR here on the forums + buy a new one from a trusted seller and the difference out of pocket should be about $18-19k. If they're trying to sell you the Smurf for any where near the $37k retail, run!

Chewbacca · 23 November 2016, 11:48 AM

Since it's not my money, do it! (we're enablers 1st)

But if it were me. Nope.

The blnr is more my style and I'd use the cash difference on another watch.

Wear it well!

Lordofrolex · 23 November 2016, 11:51 AM

Do it

One Ping Only · 23 November 2016, 11:51 AM

I am considering the same swap. Explore your options and go for it.

blue lion · 23 November 2016, 11:53 AM

No contest. Smurf over Batman any day if you can afford it.

watchmaniac · 23 November 2016, 11:57 AM

Have you thought of a swap with the ceramic pepsi?

I don't get any comments on my watches from non watch people. Not even the Platona. The Smurf is a beautiful watch. Get it and wear it!!!

1st amg · 23 November 2016, 12:01 PM

I traded a YMll earlier in the year for the 116619. I would do it again, and I certainly think your trade is something I would do in a heart beat. I love love the smurf, it is not loud like you think but I do get compliments that people think it's stunning. I also love the feel of the watch and the substantial difference of something different on the wrist. And don't forget about that glidelock, best invention. It is a big difference in money of what you have, but once it's done, you won't look back.

Get it!

murph145 · 23 November 2016, 12:09 PM

Sorry I am going to go against others on this board. Not for the fact that I dislike the Smurf by any means.... It is a great beautiful watch!!

Smurf is so nice but it is a lot to spend on a watch as a daily I really think the BLNR is a great watch. Still classy but sporty and you dont have to worry about the $$$ hanging from your wrist.

I would only get the Smurf down the road if it was an addition to your collection and not the only watch in it.

locutus49 · 23 November 2016, 12:22 PM

I would get the smurf as blue is my favorite color. It is not too bright, just right. You will love it.

RichM · 23 November 2016, 12:25 PM

I would do it in a heartbeat. I flipped my BLNR and cash for a BLRO, but if you can swing it, you won't regret it. Nothing like the feel of a PM Rolex.

Here's a shot to help you along.

TS used $23k

S0041464 · 23 November 2016, 12:33 PM

It really does look great on your wrist
