To flip or not to flip...

PP 5164 + JLC Master Chrono Ceramic + 116710 LN for a Sky Dweller WG, black dial on a bracelet... I already have the PP 5990 and will collect a 5524 in Jan so the 5164 is somewhat redundant... Any wise counsel more than welcome...

I like the 5164 but if you won't wear it any more then worth trading for the SkyD if the maths works out well.

Ok. That's pretty clear! Thanks for the steers. Dilemma is that I haven't worn the 5164 since picking up the 5990 and there's something about the SkyD that really appeals. If the flip isn't a good one I need a plan b.

If you're not wearing the 5164 and are happy to also sacrifice the JLC and LN then I say got for it as long as you work out good values and make sure you get any additional cash along with it to make it a more balanced deal. No point keeping the other watches if you don't wear them but at the same time you don't want to come out of the deal with any kind of loss to you

Thanks... Pretty clear. The SkyD is new from an AD at ~20% discount so the maths doesn't work hugely in my favour in terms of spare cash in the process. Plus the GMT is ten years old and the JLC has horrible retention value...

Oh well... First world problems I guess.
