Good morning, I am after some advise/what would you do.

Would you swap RG DD40 olive dial for GMT Batman & Sub Hulk?

Thanks for the help

mjclark32 · 29 January 2019, 08:24 PM

I wouldn’t. That DD40 combo is crazy nice

peterpl · 29 January 2019, 08:40 PM

I would NEVER do that swap especially in this Rolex climate where all SS are way way overpriced.

Why would you want to downgrade that watch? DD40 is the top shelf Rolex.

DP63 · 29 January 2019, 08:46 PM

I'm champing at the bit to get a BLNR .... and even I wouldnt do that deal.

LPan · 29 January 2019, 08:49 PM

Absolutely no way. That particular anniversary DD is one of the more sought after PM pieces and are holding their money very well. The two SS are very nice in their own right but are waaaay overpriced in my opinion and not in the same league.

I consolidated my steels and went PM. I've owned both those SS and I would definitely not do it.

emtee · 29 January 2019, 09:02 PM

Not a chance!

Chadridv · 29 January 2019, 09:10 PM

What’s the deal exactly? Straight trade, what’s thes the condition, etc?

Listen I’d never say no if you own a watch that doesn’t sing to you anymore. But you just have to make sure the moneys right.

WBA_Daytona · 29 January 2019, 09:46 PM

Depends on what you want! The fact that SS is overpriced is nonsense. Market makes the price. If all the SS models are overpriced means that people do love the SS Rolex. So in the end, you know better if you still love the rose gold or you want 2 SS watches.

Fat_ninja · 29 January 2019, 09:48 PM

Id keep the DD40

Of course its nonsense. They are both current production models with RRP well below where grey dealers are selling them. Now if they were no longer available and supply was limited to only those in current circulation then the laws of demand and supply determine the 'price' and even then its completely subjective as to whether someone will deem it as too expensive or not.

siempreko · 29 January 2019, 09:59 PM

Nope! I would never recommend this proposed swap!

Don’t give in to the insanity of the current SS grey/used market.

If I’m you, I’m not making that deal.

HogwldFLTR · 29 January 2019, 10:02 PM

No way; I'm much prefer the DD!!!

travisb · 29 January 2019, 10:03 PM

I wouldn't. That is one of if not the best looking DD going. If you did it I would surely hope you have money coming back your way.

Great advice

JayHantz · 29 January 2019, 10:04 PM

Absolutely love the LV and the BLNR but if I was in your shoes I wouldn't do it. Keep the PM.

DoDe · 29 January 2019, 10:07 PM

Of course not

Brew · 29 January 2019, 10:07 PM

Nope. Don't care for either the LV or the BLNR, don't care what they "go for."

If it is a straight trade then the money is wrong. You should get back between 3-5k and the seller will still make money. If dealing with a TS have them add a Omega Speedy to the deal or another watch that interests you in the 3k range. If you do not wear the DD and it does not feel special then move on to something that has a chance to be a watch you do like enough to keep. Good luck.

Numberjack · 29 January 2019, 10:56 PM

Not something I would do.

VicLeChic · 29 January 2019, 11:01 PM

I'd keep the DD and I'm not even a PM fan.

watchwatcher · 29 January 2019, 11:15 PM

Good lord, no.

Mohawkman450 · 29 January 2019, 11:22 PM

Nah I’d wait fir those models to trickle in from the AD
why pay those crazy prices keep the DD40 an enjoy .

omx5o · 29 January 2019, 11:24 PM

Accumulate gold, don’t ditch it. I’d do the reverse trade.

huncho · 29 January 2019, 11:34 PM

no chance

dwjez14 · 30 January 2019, 12:14 AM

Unless you really dislike your dd40 don’t do it. First thing the dd40 is worth more . 2nd eventually the market will change the 2 you trade for won’t be worth as much but the dd40 will still hold strong

Sarosh · 30 January 2019, 12:35 AM

No way. No how. That green dial with that RG case. That’s a winner

Hard_Six · 30 January 2019, 12:36 AM

I would not
