If you think the IWC will be a novelty then why get rid of the Rolex.

cervantes · 25 June 2015, 01:25 AM

I'd be concerned about that rubber coating and how it's going to age. I looked at the bronze darwin and want too happy with the rubber on that model.

997.2 · 25 June 2015, 01:28 AM

Sounds like a bad idea to me

LumpHammer · 25 June 2015, 01:29 AM

I love the Deepsea. I say no.

MichaelFlash · 25 June 2015, 01:38 AM

I would not

SemperFi · 25 June 2015, 01:40 AM

Nope. Keep the Rolex.

liuk3 · 25 June 2015, 01:42 AM

You are on a rolex forum.

IWC is not my cup of tea. Love the DSSD.

Willows · 25 June 2015, 01:45 AM

If it were me I'd keep the Deepsea...

trackntrail · 25 June 2015, 02:17 AM

I'm not a huge fan of the deepsea however I would definitely keep it over that IWC. I think the novelty would definitely wear off over time whereas the Rolex is always a Rolex

Mastergreenhand · 25 June 2015, 02:20 AM

Nope.

Ferdelious · 25 June 2015, 02:24 AM

Keep the Dweller

Cryten · 25 June 2015, 02:31 AM

Not in a straight trade, no. IWC watches don't hold their value like Rolex. A new Galapagos is $11k (or $8k grey market), wear it once and you might be lucky to get 6k for it.

I was very tempted by the IWC Portuguese 7 day. $13.5k new, now DavidSW has one for $7.5k. I'm glad I didn't take that hit.

If it sings to you then make a plan to get one, but in a straight trade the guy getting the Rolex will come out better off.

tkerrmd · 25 June 2015, 02:46 AM

no brainer for me the DSSD all day, especially with the clasp

AS1 · 25 June 2015, 02:57 AM

Definitely not.

Tebow15 · 25 June 2015, 03:00 AM

No way! DSSD is awesome and such a bold Rolex.

eonflux · 25 June 2015, 03:03 AM

I've tried that Galapagos on my wrist. Nice watch. And one of their in-house movements, I believe.
But wouldn't replace a Deepsea w/ it.

Vipes · 25 June 2015, 03:06 AM

Not a fan of IWC's new Aquatimer models. Keep the Rolex. I wonder how the rubber coating will hold up over time.

Watcheroo · 25 June 2015, 03:24 AM

Very few IWCs interest me and that's not one of them. I wouldn't. Hold on and the urge will pass 👍

LandArc · 25 June 2015, 04:47 AM

Keep the Deep!

Urosfan · 25 June 2015, 05:31 AM

Id keep deepsea and add iwc if u really want it

Wing-Co · 25 June 2015, 05:51 AM

Doh, I've just got in from drinking alcohol all day and I'm coherent enough to say NO.

simbal · 25 June 2015, 06:21 AM

keep the DSSD, not even close in my book, especially this IWC.

h999r · 25 June 2015, 06:23 AM

Ouch :((

thanks for the advice guys :)

00pumpkin · 25 June 2015, 07:42 AM

Not a chance

Dirt · 25 June 2015, 08:11 AM

Do it, and let us know how you still feel about it in a few years time.

Personally, I think it would be a fools errand to make that swap under any circumstances.

Justinmg · 25 June 2015, 08:49 AM
