Flipping, need advice

Hi all,

Couple of days ago I ordered my BLNR (finally..!!) I hope it will arrive on this weekend and I am super excited about it. As soon as I get it I will post couple of pics.

Anyways in the last couple of months I was thinking of flipping my existing two watches. I love my UN but I just fell in love with the DJII after I tried it on my wrist.

For the AP ROO, after ordering BLNR I wanted to flip it with another AP which is more classy (IMO).

The ones I'm thinking of flipping;
1-Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Chronometer Ref 263-67-3/40
2-AP ROO 25940SK

I'm thinking of getting AP 26320 blue and white dial and a DJII blue dial.

Any comments, thoughts and advices are appreciated.

Hit it

I prefer to have subdials on the larger 41mm's dial, a better balanced look.

I wasn't feeling in this way before, but in these few months I wasn't even wearing it anymore... So I will definetely let it go.

The UN is nice, had two but on a bracelet.

UN has poor resale plus you will need to find a buyer, not as easy as selling a Rolex. I'd keep the UN given these facts.

But if you can get a good price, go for it.
