I am not an expert by any means but that doesn't seem like a fair trade.

Don't think it's worth it's weight in fair trade. Maybe you ought to renegotiate that trade.

I prefer the TT on offer, without a doubt, but the value of your two watches is surely significantly more? Bad swap, I wouldn't do it.

Refreshing to see that the majority of folks will keep the 216570 and 116264 over the 116713!!! I vote no as well!
