Hi all- looking for some opinions, I tried on a smurf
today and it is really great. I already have a BLRO, BLNR
and a Subc.
I was thinking if I bought the smurf , I might flip the Subc but
I am really torn as I love that watch.
Would you trade the subc and move up to the smurf , keep both ,
or keep the subc and forget the smurf ? I'm not sure how
much wrist time the subc would receive.
I have other options as well- 5711, speedy,etc.

captain_NEMO · 29 December 2016, 04:20 AM

IMO, the SubC should be a keeper.

Direct lineage to the original bad-ass watch. You can't really get any more iconic than a Sub.

KBM · 29 December 2016, 04:21 AM

I think they can easily coexist, but I'd go for a smurf plus 114060, just to add something a bit different.

Bucky · 29 December 2016, 04:26 AM

Keep the subc and maybe go with the patek instead of the smurf. I asked a similar question regarding if i should add a subc to the collection i had (subdate 16610, gmt black, DSSD, DJ41tt, Pan233 and got told to branch out a bit. Maybe this is what you should do. Although you can't go wrong with a sub.

droptopman · 29 December 2016, 04:29 AM

I love blue and dig all your models, but that is a lot of blue in the collection. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but I would miss an all black Sub in my collection.

perpetualman88 · 29 December 2016, 04:30 AM

doesn't seem anymore redundant than having a BLNR and a BLRO.

SubC and the smurf would be great !!! :)

Al1969 · 29 December 2016, 04:31 AM

I'd let go of the BLNR and put those funds towards the Smurf. You already have a BLRO, so why not.

toucan · 29 December 2016, 04:33 AM

I should have mentioned I already have the 5711, Speedy etc. Wristtime is getting rare and wouldn't mind dropping a few pieces. Or
maybe the smurf is not needed, but I really love it. Such problems!

melrob1 · 29 December 2016, 04:37 AM

I'd drop the BLNR and grab the smurf. Looks so good!!

Gerardus · 29 December 2016, 05:15 AM

Leave the smurf and keep your classic SS.(regret selling mine)

Sounds like you're heading into the less is more approach.

gregmoeck · 29 December 2016, 06:37 AM

Here is what I would do, sell all of them and get the smurf and be done, use the extra money for a nice vacation.

yunach · 29 December 2016, 06:45 AM

add it. keep the Sub C

Hodog16 · 29 December 2016, 06:45 AM

I traded my 116610LV for the 116619 and don't regret it one bit.

If I were you I would trade in the SubC and BLNR, get the 116619 and have money ready for whatever comes next.

Bigsykedaddy · 29 December 2016, 06:46 AM

Personally I would go for the smurf as it's my favorite but the sub c is such a classic it's a tough choice.

Atleo · 29 December 2016, 06:55 AM

If I had a subC and the cash to buy a smurf, I'd probably buy a car instead. But I like the sub c better.

Sell the subC and get a 114060 with the smurf; the perfect sub pair!

toucan · 29 December 2016, 08:13 AM

Incoming next week! Thanks for the great advice TRF- always helpful to get a lot of thoughts- Subc is gone. Can always pick another one up or my drean Red sub. BLNR hanging on by a thread and have some more consolidation to do!
Car incoming as well btw!

Awesome...congrats! Can't wait to see the pics!

Castiel · 29 December 2016, 08:28 AM

My vote is for the smurf.

I like the way you think

OP, you already said you love the smurf and that you want to get rid of some watches. The ss subc is not rare and can be easily replaced if you regret selling yours. If you do miss your ss sub in the future, the 114060 is a great option.

derekstlmo · 29 December 2016, 09:11 AM

I would also sell the subc and get a no date and the smurf for something a little different

NeoAnderson · 29 December 2016, 09:16 AM

Smurf and sub
Sale the rest get something different
DAydate
Patek

BNA/LION · 29 December 2016, 09:16 AM

Yep! The Smurf and pick up a vintage Sub later...

Agree! ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️

bdex75 · 29 December 2016, 09:59 AM

I would get rid of the BLNR, get a 114060 sub (instead of the sub-c) and the smurf. With your BLRO and others you will have it covered.

I was just reading through the thread and it looks like you already decided in the 116619, you will love it! You can always find a subc later if you miss it. Can't wait to see the pics and also of the car incoming. For now, here is my smurf for you to visualize until yours arrives!

Very very nice, and thanks for making me salivate a little more!!!!!
The car will be a month or two for delivery, not like some of the babies I've seen on TRF but will work nicely for the family. I'm pretty psyched though.
