Yes or No ? Your suggestions welcomed guys!

Watchgeek5000 · 4 September 2016, 01:25 AM

First off, no matter what anyone says.......buy what YOU like!
That said, your trading a watch that depending on condition and paperwork is worth more than the explorer 1, so I hope there would be money going in your direction. Also, I can't imagine really regretting NOT buying an explorer 1 because you can always do that. I CAN see you saying "I wish I never traded that Sub LV! If you can swing it, keep the sub and buy the explorer 1.

Nope. it's an "add" in my book, not a flip.

Concur... They each have a place, IMO.

Keep the Sub. Add the Explorer.

Coffes4closers · 4 September 2016, 01:32 AM

Keep the LV!!

dysondiver · 4 September 2016, 01:37 AM

nope , id not be doing it .... no shortage of current models , pick one up any time.

subtona · 4 September 2016, 01:41 AM

Not even for a second.

I like both watches and find them to be exceptionally complimentary.

If you absolutely want the explorer, the ideal option would be to buy it outright then after a few months if you find you're still over it, you can easily sell the LV

swils8610 · 4 September 2016, 01:42 AM

Never.

The LV is a great watch. I wouldn't personally

aekdb · 4 September 2016, 01:48 AM

You can always add the explorer later. Keep the sub imho

sickened1 · 4 September 2016, 01:49 AM

I would also add, not flip.

kjp1Iam · 4 September 2016, 01:51 AM

I think you'll regret giving up the Sub. You should try to add the Explorer if your budget allows.

Dirt · 4 September 2016, 01:53 AM

Keep the Kermit and add the new Explorer.
No question about it

Skittman · 4 September 2016, 01:56 AM

I would not explore this option any further.

Absolutely not.

The 50th Anniversary Submariner is THE ONE Rolex I regret missing out on buying new, and expect you would regret selling/flipping.

Nothing wrong with the Explorer - very happy with mine, but if I had to choose between either it or the 50th Submariner, would have no problem parting with it.

brandrea · 4 September 2016, 01:57 AM

Nada

WristEnvy · 4 September 2016, 01:58 AM

Keep the anniversary sub. Once those new exp 1 start rolling out, in a few years they'll be a dime a dozen. Meanwhile your sub will be harder and harder to find.

mjclark32 · 4 September 2016, 02:14 AM

No

avilhena · 4 September 2016, 02:19 AM

no way

Jaycnyp · 4 September 2016, 02:20 AM

The explorer is my favorite SS Rolex, but I would not flip a 50th for it, unless I was going for only one watch. I would however add it in a heartbeat

sea-dweller · 4 September 2016, 02:25 AM

No...

dcash0615 · 4 September 2016, 02:28 AM

As everyone has said on this thread... Keep the LV sub.

I also recommend this. You can think and ponder and look at internet photos, and even ask TRF all you want, but nothing will make it as clear as actual experience.

If I can't decide, I just buy the new one and then let the watches battle it out for wrist time. After a few months it is pretty clear what to do.

Scapegoat · 4 September 2016, 02:39 AM

Don't be silly! Keep please

U don't deserve a LV.
Trade it for whatever.

Black Bay Dan · 4 September 2016, 02:59 AM

Definitely do not sell the 16610LV. You will regret it big time! Good luck.
