I'd keep the GMT and add the THC unless I was absolutely in love with the BLNR, which if you are asking this question in the first place maybe you don't NEED to have it. You could go through the additional expense and find it's not so different from your original GMT

brettpaul · 30 January 2016, 02:37 PM

BLNR for the win!

2106 · 30 January 2016, 02:40 PM

Blnr is such a great watch! Go for it.

Andad · 30 January 2016, 02:57 PM

Seems like a lot of money for a change of bezel........

Rocket_Man · 30 January 2016, 02:59 PM

I like the LN better than the BLNR. But if you want a BLNR I'd find a better trade up, you are being asked to pay too much for that trade up.

Then save a little more and get the Tudor also.

Steve36Efc · 30 January 2016, 03:04 PM

I love the BLNR but 3500 cad on top of your 6 month old LN is seems too much. If it were me I go Tudor.

rolex_DateJust · 30 January 2016, 03:10 PM

Stick with the LN and buy the Tudor... You'll have options to wear one or the other depending on the occasion.

Keep what you have (LN) and add a new piece with the funds you are willing to add to the hobby.

superdog · 30 January 2016, 10:10 PM

$2,500 to switch the bezel.

No thanks.

I prefer the LN anyway. But still think it's unlikely I'd make that deal.

That's pretty much what they go for Eric. 5800 asking sell point 5500. At least that is what I have seen.

airchitect · 30 January 2016, 10:42 PM

If I'm reading this right you will effectively pay a $2500 premium for the same watch you have with a little blue on it? No way. Love your LN and get the chrono. Adds a little more variety to the collection anyway doesn't it?

Racerdj · 30 January 2016, 10:42 PM

I would trade for the BLNR!

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...

Agree with both sentiments, I really like the LNc so I would probably add the Tudor, but if you really love the BLNR then I'd get that one.

kirksingleton · 31 January 2016, 02:16 AM

Why spend the money to trade, they are essentially the same watch?
I would buy a second piece

That's what I was thinking.

breitlings · 31 January 2016, 03:09 AM

With the rumors of blnr being discontinued I would do that trade. Maybe they can throw in a service or nice winder in at that price.

beer · 31 January 2016, 03:13 AM

both watches being equal would add the tudor

but would go for the brand new BLNR in this case

luvsub · 31 January 2016, 03:14 AM

Get the one you really like.

versatile1 · 31 January 2016, 03:55 AM

Well I've made a decision and I thank you for the input
It really does help
Stay tuned for the incoming and just to give you all a hint........
.......it's got Blue on it

WristEnvy · 31 January 2016, 04:05 AM

Early congrats on the blnr or THC.

Look forward to the pics!

You already have a GMT; get the Tudor

Many congrats, I flipped my ln for a BLNR last year too

mater · 31 January 2016, 12:36 PM

3500 for essentially the same watch? you better love blue.

I have an LN and like the BLNR, but not even close to that much.

2Redbulls · 31 January 2016, 12:46 PM

I wouldn't flip it for that amount on principle. I'd add another watch.
