So I have been offered a 3 week old Blue dial Yachtmaster straight across for my BLNR which is about 4 months old
Both watches are mint
MSRP on the Yachtmaster is about 30% more then the BLNR

I love both but the glass bead bezel on the YM worries me as I know from experience that it can be a scratch magnet

Liking them both equally as much, what would you do?

Even as someone who is not a fan of the BLNR, I believe that is NOT a good trade.

Danny83 · 14 February 2016, 04:19 PM

I would add not trade on this one

sickened1 · 14 February 2016, 04:19 PM

Personally I would keep the BLNR.

Jack T · 14 February 2016, 04:20 PM

The BLNR is, to me, a much more desirable and valuable piece. I would not make such a trade.

G.Costanza · 14 February 2016, 04:21 PM

BLNR all day

I appreciate the opinions of my fellow members, thanks.
I'm glad I'm not getting the "do what feels right" or "chose the one that sings to you" comments.
They all sing to me so this is simply a matter of economics

Rachaphon · 14 February 2016, 04:30 PM

I would keep the BLNR and if able to, add the Yachtmaster later!

brettpaul · 14 February 2016, 04:39 PM

Nope - keep the BLNR!

Cru Jones · 14 February 2016, 04:54 PM

If a regular YM (not blue dial), I would do the trade.

LVSubmariner · 14 February 2016, 04:56 PM

Blnr

kirksingleton · 14 February 2016, 05:04 PM

In a heartbeat!

Ryuden · 14 February 2016, 05:09 PM

Not just because the Gmt has more fans than the yachtmaster, but functionality wise, you get more with the blnr than the yachtmaster...

I won't do the trade. Add yes...but much prefer the original platinum dial...

presario · 14 February 2016, 05:09 PM

No way. BLNR for me as well.

MLF · 14 February 2016, 05:37 PM

Keep your BLNR

Punishher7 · 14 February 2016, 05:50 PM

I like the YM more visually but if you'd miss the GMT function then hold what you got.

GEORGE505 · 14 February 2016, 06:19 PM

I wouldn't do it. Keep the BLNR

Daryl · 14 February 2016, 06:22 PM

I'll do it.

Against the grain but I would. Blue dial YM is more attractive and I've seen and worn both watches. Purely on esthetic taste.

Watch Box · 14 February 2016, 06:31 PM

Surely your current watch can't be singing to you very loudly or you wouldn't be thinking about swapping it?

itsmekevin · 14 February 2016, 07:03 PM

Dr.Brian · 14 February 2016, 07:46 PM

I'd make the trade.

pinkelle21 · 14 February 2016, 07:49 PM

Love the blue dial YM, if you dont need gmt function, then heck yeah!😎

It's very simple, which do you like the best?

Lightforce1911 · 14 February 2016, 08:47 PM

The ym in person is amazing. And it costs more.but it will scratch a lot easier. I'd do the trade personally

Choose what you like the most but not for the sake of just getting something new.
BLNR stays if it were me.
