Personally, i would give up the 116613 and the DSOM, keep the daytona and the BLNR and then add the difference in.

The daytona and the BLNR are excellent watches that i would never give up.

No way I'd trade three of those for a smurf.

You have 4 great watches already. Maybe 2 and cash, but wouldn't do a 3 for 1 in this case..

Tough choice, I probably wouldn't because those are all such nice watches... Given you wear them all, I think you'd feel a little empty with only a choice between 2 watches, when you're used to 4 (or do you have more, and these are the only ones on the flipping block?).

but.. definitely the TT could go... then the blue half of the bezel of the BLNR would be a little repetitive... just a really tough choice between the chronos.

Your collection and my tastes are a little bit different, so I'd probably trade the Omega & the Sub and pony up some cash to make up the difference, if the Smurf was something that I had my heart set on.

I tried the smurf on the other day at my AD and I wasn't impressed. The feel and weight of the WG was nice but the bezel and dial color do nothing for me. I wouldn't do the deal if I were you. Personally, I'd rather have a WG Daytona than a smurf. Just my .02

I think you would miss the variety of that rotation. That bring said, I suppose you only wear one at a time. I'd vote Smurf and Daytona.

I would....and pretty much did. I traded a Yachtmaster and Panerai for a Smurf. I don't regret it at all. I love the feel of the Smurf.

How about then getting the YG Blue subc and keeping one SS.

As much as I love the WG sub, you have a great collection and it would be hard to give up 3. I would save up and trade the 116613LB plus cash for the 116619LB.

I would do it. I'd keep either the daytona or omega. The smurf will replace the TT and also covers the lost blue of your BLNR.

I got my smurf a few weeks ago and words don't describe how amazing it looks and feels on your wrist.

I wouldn't trade two for a Smurf. The fact that there isn't any upgrade in the movement would really be crazy.

Okay, I am going to say it: DO IT!!!!

I love the Smurf. Have you worn it in person? It is magnificent in every way.

Once you wear PM every day, you won't miss the steel for one second. You'll be more focused on funding your YG GMT or Platona.

Nice part is, unless attached to the exact watch for some reason, all would not be difficult to get again. Just be smart about the deals and buy "right."

Going precious metal is very special. If you can make the move to a full gold watch by trading in some of your other watches I would, it is well worth it

The WG sub is a do all stand alone watch that believe me will make you not want to wear anything else!!

Not for me. Don't like the idea of trading watches because for sure you will lose alot on any 3 particular models cause resellers would for sure require you to take a big hit on all those in order for them to resell it at a competitive price in the FS section.
I would just save and ask for a big discount as precious metal rolex are such slow moving items in any Rolex AD.

I would and did. I traded a 116613LB and an IWC Portuguese and added the rest in cash. It was worth it. The Smurf is just sheer class and a perfect versatile watch.

Yes I would. The smurf is not just another ROLEX, it is a status symbol, a right to snob.
