No. I Wouldn't give those two up for a president, especially with the way the market is going. But, if you don't care about ever selling it and getting something else, it is a fair trade (approx. 13k total for the 2 and about 13k for the president).

I would not... instead I would rather hold on to the root beer and trade the Sub C (no date) plus cash.

Agree 100% but if you don't have the extra cash I wouldn't hate your trade either. I just got my 18078 a few months ago and it is sweet!

As a daily, I wouldn't. I'd trade the root beer towards it and keep the Sub. That'd be a great pair to rotate, IMHO.

long term, precious metal watches will not do as well as a classic vintage watch that is highly desirable (the 1991 Rolex GMT Master II Root Beer), if you truly want, trade the sub with cash.

I couldn't let go of a root beer myself. I'm no expert on values but the trade looks fair in today's market. Where prices go in the future gets somewhat speculative.

How old is the president and is it comes as a full set or only the watch.

I wouldn't do it, but that's just me. I'm just not a DD kind a guy.
Think value-wise $, it's a descent trade for now (not long term though). |

Its about the right price. Almost a straight even trade in terms of value. I would do it. I love my 118238

I'd hold on to that Rootbeer. They are getting harder to find.

" That watch costs more than you car. I made $970,000 last year. How much'd you make? You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing." :
To the OP, If you keep one, I vote forthe GMT. Regarding the trade, I say if that's what you want, then go for it. We only go around once. Best of luck deciding.
