I currently own an Airking 116900 and Milgauss 116400 black dial. I am keen to own a Submariner and would be interested to see if it’s worth swapping them for one or waiting 2 years in UK for one to be available???

ferrissteve11 · 4 March 2018, 02:47 AM

A 2 for 1 is always something I'd be slightly hesitant on. Unless its a piece you absolutely have to have. But a Sub vs Milgauss and New Airking seems like you're overpaying on that one. Just my .02

Don't do it!! No matter how much you *think* you want the Sub, that deal is a flat-out, complete, 100% rip-off.

The Submariner, a great watch on all fronts is still only a watch. Look around and I'll bet you won't have to wait two years to find one.

Please, don't do this trade. As soon as the 'honeymoon' is over - you'll regret it. Financially, it's a joke.

Agree and would probably want to add to collection if anything.

colpol · 4 March 2018, 03:50 AM

A 30 second search on Chrono24 shows a 2018 unworn sub available from uk seller or take a holiday & pick one up. 2 year waiting list is for the birds ;.)

AK797 · 4 March 2018, 04:06 AM

I would trade for the Subc but would make a much better deal than straight swap.

kwingy · 4 March 2018, 05:38 AM

I would make that trade but try and get some cash your way. My friend recently sold his milgauss and he had trouble getting a good quote. In the end he sold it to a local jewellers for £4.1k B&P and he couldn't quite believe it himself as no want was offering more then £3.5k

henrylee · 4 March 2018, 10:39 AM

Wish I was in UK, I'd trade

RedLs3 · 4 March 2018, 10:48 AM

Yes do it

ajas · 4 March 2018, 11:06 AM

I would not. Keep sub and add one you like most

breitlings · 4 March 2018, 11:08 AM

I would just decide on one of the watches you currently own and flip the other towards a sub. The AK and Milg are basically the same watch with a different dial, so I don't think it makes sense to hold both unless your collection is vast. or you really like the AK/MG

morimotom · 4 March 2018, 11:16 AM

If the sub came with, say, $1500-$2000, I would do it.

The OP is wanting to trade for a sub, doesnt have one... yet. Dump the airking for sure, keep the milgauss and throw extra cash for a sub. Some good ones here on the classifieds, readily available.. no two year wait

Sorry for confusing. Good advice. Drop one you like least and add cash for sub. Sounds reasonable

It’s up to you of course. Be sure however.

116900 trade should be £3.5-3.8k and similar for Milgauss maybe...purely trade figures.
Of course depends on condition and age of both and full set etc.

That has you seriously overpaying for a £6200 Sub, although I do appreciate they are hard to find.

Here’s an idea....what about a mint 16610 black sub date, older Watch but immaculate full set. You’d get one for £6k and a beauty for £6k.....trade one watch in (116900) and add.

Then you’ve added a sub date, and kept a Milgauss.

IF you are smitten drive a better deal.

MUCH better.

timeldn · 4 March 2018, 07:44 PM

You are over paying.

Gerry62 · 4 March 2018, 08:20 PM

you could sell them both but you have to waste time

do it

Mrcoach32 · 4 March 2018, 10:43 PM

Straight up? No. Plus cash to make up the difference? Yes.

agentsmith350 · 5 March 2018, 12:09 AM

Hell no , wait for one to come in

Jacobson · 5 March 2018, 12:28 AM

The cheapest I've seen a unworn SubC in the UK lately is just a little over £7K.

Taking the trade in values of the Air King & Milgauss in to account it's not really that bad of a deal.

Cru Jones · 5 March 2018, 12:35 AM

Keep the Milgauss and trade the AK plus cash. The Sub with rotating bezel and brushed bracelet will pair well with the polished smooth bezel and PCLs of the MG.

Rocco21 · 5 March 2018, 12:42 AM

Just sell both then buy a sub on here and you will have an extra 2k.

deansot53 · 5 March 2018, 08:06 PM

Sounds good advice to possibly sell both and buy a sub separately if obtainable and have a bit of cash to spare.
