Should I trade 16623 diamond and sapphire for ruby?

I have the diamond and sapphire dial and may trade for the ruby? Would it be a fair trade? Should I trade? Which is worth more? Thanks in advance guys.

I'm going to say no. However the rubies don't look bad on that dial. It's just preference for me. Go with what you would like! I'm not a diamonds on watch fan really at all though.

I think the question is, which one would you be happier with.
Monetary value is irrelevant if you don't like what you have

I prefer the diamond and sapphire dial. You know the history behind yours, so I would keep it.

I like yours better too. But if you like the rubies, go for it.

Which stone(s) do you like more? In terms of values, these stones are worth about the same with very slight difference in price.

Diamond and sapphires looks way better, keep that one. Probably worth a smidgen more also.

from a purely visual perspective, the red hour plots accentuate the red Yachtmaster script text nicely.

I've never seen the Ruby dial before. If it's real, I like the Ruby one better.

Your dial is MUCH more beautiful, in my humble opinion.

Cheers,

If the OP is a lady, the maybe the rubies. Otherwise the diamond/sapphire. Just my opinion.

The rubies make that dial pop! I would do it in a heartbeat. (diamond vs. ruby dial should be about the same).
