3 Subs, which one to trade away!

I have been taken with the SS/Platinum Yachtmaster so one of my Subs needs to find a new home...

Which one would you pick to leave the nest first?????


Thanks!

If you have to I just might have to sacrifice the Rolex Submariner - 16613 "Z" serial (Blue). I don't think I would want to get rid of your first one for sure.

I'd get rid of the TT the YM will more than make up for it's absence.

I voted LV only because I couldn't part with my first Rolex, and I find "bluesy" to be one of the most beautiful watches ever made.

Totally agree!

The blue sub's bling will be redundant IMHO with the YM.

Good luck!

I would keep the blue as it is the only watch in your collection that is sport, but leans toward dress... something to wear to a wedding. However, based on your collection you like sport watches that say sport so dump the TT. Duh, dump the blue as the Yachtmaster is what you wear to the wedding.

I read something on TRF that said, "I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure".

in that order
the steel gold 16613, then your (first) sub and the LV would be a keeper

I don't like steel/gold so that was easy
And being the first or not ? I sold my first which also was a 16610

Personally I would dump some of the non-Rolex stuff, as the YM would be a nice compliment to your other Rolexes.

If pushed for it to be one of the Rolexes I would choose the 16610 and pick up a black bezel for the LV. I prefer the Maxi dial.

That's a tough call. I'd lean toward trading the two-tone.

Good luck in the decision.

I would let the 16610 go. I think the LV is nice to have and much more rare. As for the 16613, it's nice to have some gold.

out:16613
in: 116613LB instead of yachtmaster..
This you won't regret. Go to the ad and ask them to lay both watches in front of you, the YM and the SUBC 116613 blue..
If you are sure you want the YM just try it out for the fun of it and you will be suprised..!
Let me know...
