Group buy on smurf... love it!
But seriously, wonder what a trusted seller would do for if they got an order for 3 smurfs. Bigger discount?

I'd liquidate the entire collection- blnr and speedy for the smurf. But I'd wait until you are 100% sure.

Did that for the blro and I'm happy with my decision

But if it were me. Nope.

The blnr is more my style and I'd use the cash difference on another watch.


Wear it well!

On the contrary, the blue pops only in bright sun light, it's quite a stealth watch. The hue of WG

I wouldn't do it. You could buy two Rolexes for the price of the smurf.

Smurf is a classic. Not to say the Batman GMT isn't one as well but the WG Sub is very special. Definitely my favorite WG Rolex, hands down. Go for it!

I would recommend do it. Smurf is a top of the class. It is unachievable grail for many of us on this forum so if any of fellow WIS can affort it i can only shout:
DO IT AND SEND PHOTOS PLEASE

I also love the feel of the watch and the substantial difference of something different on the wrist. And don't forget about that glidelock, best invention. It is a big difference in money of what you have, but once it's done, you won't look back.

OP, I've been also considering the "smurf" or YG sub. Actually, also been thinking of consolidating my small collection to just two or three watches, with two being PM.
I say go for it!

I prefer GMTs over Subs, but that Smurf looks great! What about a BLRO? If you want PM...

Try to save up some more for the Smurf and just keep the BLNR for daily. They complement each other nicely.

I agree with this. I have the Smurf and love it. My wife got it for me for my 40th birthday. However, having a SS watch is nice too whenever one is working outside etc and increases the chance for scratches. The weight of the gold is awesome, but it is softer than SS. If you were going to have only one, I would keep the BLNR. But if you were adding to your collection, then definitely get the Smurf. But ultimately it's up to you and what would make you smile.

Both

Smurf is my all-time favorite Rolex. BLNR is one of my favorite SS models. If I had to pick just one, it would be the Smurf.
