Icon3 Do I trade for it?

I have a Fluted Rose TT DJ Black Dial With Baton bought just a year ago.

But lately I have my eyes on the Blue TT Sub-C which I think looks astonishing.

Bought my wife the Fluted YG TT DJ 26 Blue Dial. Though it is 'compatible' with my watch for the same characters. The LB color will match hers perfectly. YG & Blue.

Do you think I should trade it?

How much do I need to add for the trade?

I would definately make the trade.

The TT Blue Sub is gorgeous, sporty, dressy.
You'll have to come out of pocket quite a bit I'm guessing.
Some others here could chime in to give you a better idea of how much.

Trades are often made because people just want something different and not necessarily because there is anything wrong with what they have in the first place.

This one is probably going to cost you, how much will depend on whether you bought your DJ new or used and what condition you plan to buy the Sub in new or used.

Either way considering the models your talking about it's going to cost you quite a bit I do believe.

You would be better off if you would wait and save.

In the meantime someone might be able to better help you with a better estimate if you could clarify the condition and model years of the watches you are talking about.

I completely understand your desire for TT Sub C, it`s one remarkable watch. However, I would n`t do it, simply because you`ll need to put some serious cash to get Sub, and I personally think that your current watch is not inferior to Sub in any department.

No one can make that decision for you only you can do it.....both watches are very nice. As for how much depends on whether you trade it in at the AD or sell outright to a private party and how much the dealer wants for a new TT Blue Sub. As Dan said are you going to buy new or used as there are really good trusted sellers here on the Forum who will probably give you the best deals!!!

I'm in a unique position to sell my DJ at the price I bought it for.
I love my TT DJ too, but I'm afraid if I keep both the DJ and Sub TT one may never see sun light anymore especially since they are in the same 'category - dress'. However, I may have remorse if I sell the DJ.

What do you guys think?
