2 or 1? That is the question
I currently have a 6 month old GMT Ceramic and have an opportunity to trade plus 3500 cash ( Canadian Funds ) which is about 2500 US for a new GMT Batman
The other opportunity is to outright purchase a Tudor Heritage Blue, no box or paperwork, just the watch on its own in excellent condition for 2750.00 ( Canadian funds ) so roughly 1950 US Love the Batman as well as the Tudor What would everyone else in the Rolex/Tudor world do?

Respectfully, I think you would get more bang for your buck with the two watches.
I'm actually one of the few people on TRF that prefers the LN to the BLNR. Now if you're talking about going down to one for a PM model, that's a different story... |

Don't get me wrong, I love my BLNR. But if I were in your shoes, I would keep the LN and buy another watch, i.e. the THC blue in this case.

Doesn't $2,500 on top of a trade of a GMTIIc seem like a lot? Isn't that about $5,500 trade value on your GMTc? Seems low to me, I would sell it outright, then pay a bit to get the BLNR.

THC all the way for me. Seems a bit much to add a dash of blue, plus I really enjoy my THC.

I'd stick with the LN and add another watch. The LN is a beauty in its own right.

I'd go with the Tudor. You can always sell/trade for the BLNR if you're unhappy.

You're GMT LN is beautiful ...
Keep it and put the extra cash towards the Tudor ... You'll be happier in the long run . Too much extra cash plus your GMT to up To the BLNR... 2 Gorgeous watches better than 1... |

I don't do Tudor so I would get the BLNR, but I would get it off here from a trusted seller and save yourself some money.

I would consider keeping the LN and looking at another classic like a Speedy Pro.

The BLNR is nice, but I don't know if it is worth a $2500 USD or $3500 CAD premium to your 6 months old GMT IIc.

Blnr of your two choices. Then start saving for the next one - there always will be a next one.
