Another trade question

Would u trade a F serial GMT2 along with $1550 for a GMT2c. The GMT2c is a Z and has no service history. Both watches come with box and papers.
The F serial has been serviced by rsc and still under warranty.
I love the pcl, so could i polish the F serial bracelet to look like the ceramics.

thank you very much for the help...

I would keep the 16710 (not sure who is trading for what in your discussion) as I don't think that there is that much cash difference between these two...

Certainly you could polish the center links.. There were several Rolex models with polished centers well before the ceramics came out..

When I had my D serial GMT I polished the center links and it looked amazing.
As far as a trade goes, I would personally do it.
Just sayin.

since you own the 16710, i would keep it and, if you want a new ceramic, i would get a 116610LN or LV or a 114060.

and, as far as the 16710 goes, i would get all the bezels and put on a super jubilee for the ultimate GMT.

Unless you're allergic to aluminum, I'd stick with the GMT-II you have. Then keep the $1550 for a start on the next Rolex acquisition fund.

I agree with this answer 101%.

16710 = Keeper imho, it's like land, they don't make it anymore.

The best advice given is keep your 16710 and put the $1500 towards the 116710 GMTc if that's the model you want. The GMT you have is as good as the Ceramic IMO. Do not like PCL on SS models myself.
