What would you do?
Ok guys..!
Some of you are going to hate me, some not... I want your opinions as per usual! I have seen a BNIB GMTIIc bought from an AD in 2009 and hasn't been touched, unmarked in brand new condition with all stickers in place, full box and papers, just as you would expect a new watch from an AD. I could.. - Trade my 116610LV Sub for 116713LN GMTIIc TT The GMTIIc TT is up for £5,995 from £7,830 I will have to add a little cash for towards it, or maybe trade another one of my watches in? Thanks for your help, it seems me wanting a TT or solid 18K Rolex is never going to end until I do it!

The 116713 TT GMT is beautiful but the 116610LV is gorgeous too. I think you should save for the 116713, don't sell your LV mate.

Tough call sir, if I was faced with that decision I would get the 116713 since I am biased towards the GMT range, however, as Ken,Tony, and Adam indicated you should stay green and add to your collection! Good luck!

Between the two I'd prefer the all-green LV because I think it looks great and offers something different.
But if you think the TT GMT will get more wrist time, then go for it. This isn't about which watch is more desirable or more valuable, it's about what appeals to you more and gives you more enjoyment. |

Bring your LV to an AD and compare the Two Watches on your wrist.

Can't say I have any idea of the 116713 prices between 2009 and 2011... So no help here.
What I know is that the 116713 is a nice pieces, and I think abit of gold here and there is more of your style... Rather than all stainless steel There is no way the seller will do a straight swap with your 116610LV? That'd be an awesome deal |

I would keep the LV. However, if the gold is talking to you. Those PCL's can look pretty ragged after awhile.
I would lay down until the urge goes away. Should we call for an intervention?

Definitely keep the LVC. The TT GMTIIC is nice but t can't beat the LVC.
Hang in there buddy!

keep your BNIB GMTIIc as a backup
I would keep the BNIB GMTIIc because its such a great watch. You can even use it as a backup if the watch you are currently using breaks down.

Keep the LVC for sure. It is more unique...fits your style better.

I would say you'll miss the lvc a lot Dino after the honeymoon phase with the 116713 is over. Work hard to save .... And keep the lvc.
If you were dissatisfied with the lvc then it would be a different story.....

Never move a watch that makes you happy in every way!! You'll only regret it. The TT GMTc is a stricking watch, but it's not worth the flip of one you seem so happy with. Head down, save hard, and the fruits will be yours!!
