Would you trade two for one??

I have the opportunity to trade my BLNR and OP39 for a BNIB TwoTone Blue Sub. Should I do this? I already own a LV Sub.

Personally I wouldn't. That's a nice lineup you got there.

Depends how much you really like the TT Sub. I'd rather have the BLNR than a Tutone Sub. To me the tutone Sub always feels a bit too 1980's to me. I owned one once, and although its a good watch, it just doesn't do anything for me. I have a Sub and a BLNR, and I really like both. The BLNR is a bit more useful with its additional timezone, as I don't ever do any diving. Probably the only way I'd consider picking up another Sub, is if I went vintage. Anyway wishing you luck with whatever you decide.

No. Keep the variety in your lineup. Add a TT Sub if you must but don't whittle your collection down to two Subs.

I would do the OP in trade, but not the BLNR. After that I would replace the OP with a DJ.

If I was unhappy/unfulfilled by the BLNR, yes, absolutely. Do not keep the BLNR because the forum thinks it is a keeper. In 4 weeks the BLNR could be yesterday's story and a new darling could appear.

PM Rolexes always hold a higher esteem and attraction than SS models. Go with your heart, and not the forums opinion. Only you can make the call.

What would I do? I think I would hold keep the BLNR and LVc as I love both and swap the OP with a DJ II.

Hell no.

Blnr and hulk are a power duo!

If anything trade in the Op39 plus cash and get the Tt sub. But honestly wait Basel is just around the corner

Flip the Hulk and add $$ for the TT Sub. Do you really want 2 Subs?

Like others have said, those three you have there make for a very nice trio.

I totally think you should get a two tone bluesy. Keep in mind the hulk is similar tho (colored sub with a sunburst dial)

With that said, don't think twice about adding the TT just because "it's two subs." The TT is a completely different look and feel than a stainless sub. I actually have 3 subs (I guess one is a DSSD but they're all diving watches wih the same look) and i don't feel bad about it. I just prefer diving watches and they all have their own feel. If you don't wear the GMT or the OP, then trade for something you'll actually use. Adding some gold to your collection is a smart move

No way. You can find a TT sub for under $10k. The BLNR is worth at least $8k if not more. Not sure of the price on the op but it has to be more than $2k. Deal sounds like you are giving away the op. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for all of your comments guys. Really appreciate it. I think that is the most of my issue is going from three Rolex watches down to two.

I'd sell the OP for cash, because I would never find a time that I'd wear it over the BLNR and the LV.

I'm contemplating trading as well however, I do not like taking such a hit on the trade and here it would be DOUBLE HIT!

Having said that, If I sold many houses this month and my numbers were up, Who cares! DO it!
