Flip BLNR for a 2009 Sea Dweller

Before reading, please think of this in the context of thin wrists at 6.75 inch and I am not a big guy.

I have had a SubC....it's gone. Not the watch I dreamt about and always wanted. To me it just does not look like a Sub should with those lugs. It wore much bigger than I hoped and I missed the classic Sub shape, as it was that shape that I really wanted.

I have a white dial DaytonaC.....totally in love, it comes out on special occasions. It will never be sold. This fits me perfectly.

I have just had purchased for me by my lovely wife a 2009 V serial sub date, new old stock at a very reasonable price, not yet arrived but I cannot wait.

I really should have bought a 5 digit straightaway. They fit me perfectly from the ones I have tried on before and it just the quintessential Rolex to me.

I have a BLNR, I really do like this watch. It is really special, but I find it wears too big, and the lugs still look too chunky to me.

Here is the deal, I have been offered a very good trade on my BLNR for a NOS SeaDweller 2009 V serial.

I will have,

DaytonaC - for best
2009 Sub Date - for everyday in the office etc
2009 Sea Dweller - the beater on NATO etc

My thoughts,

I love 5 digit Rolex
I have tried a whole bunch on and they fit me perfectly.
The 6 digit models just don't do it for me, as much as I like all the features and look on the BLNR I prefer pre Ceramic models.

Do you think i should do the trade on the BLNR.

Getting the nos SD is hard at the right price now, while I ca always get another BLNR.
