Sky-Dweller look good but no use for it.

If you are thinking of prices now then yes I agree. A year from now probably even. Three years probably white skydweller. 10 years who the hell knows. But if your friend has his heart set on a white sky and doesn’t want to go though the hassle of selling such a high price BLRO on his own you should swap it straight up and sell yourself if you are up for it. If he trades BLRO to a trusted seller for a white sky it will effectively be the same as swapping with you straight up once discounted trade value and new white sky Dweller premium is baked in.

Why would anyone be asking the BLRO guy to add some cash in the current market?
Is he talking bout the 16710 BLRO?

I would do that trade. Think the blro will be an easily sellable watch for years to come. The SkyD, not so much. Especially with a white dial.

Very interesting comments, we don’t look at watch values from the grey market. I am not a flipper nor my friend, he also aware of the these outrageous prices in secondary market. I told him that he could sell his watch for more than the value of my watch. Then come back to buy mine at cost. Keep in mind, I prolly get my own Pepsi at msrp within a year max. I haven’t have any problem getting SS pieces from my AD and I am not desperately for it. I don’t have a big collection but enough for rotation until next year.

The beauty in the madness of this.

Sold my SkyD within a few weeks.

Still smitten over my Pepsi.

Do the swap if the option is still open. You get a much more sellable watch, if you decide you don't want to keep it. Plus, you avoid the hassle of doing a sale with a stranger.

This, assuming it's the ceramic BLRO.

Dial swap? That’s only for white gold.
