Advice needed: possibile trade
Hi Guys,
Need some advice, I own a GMT 16700 pepsi with original jubilee 1997 with original box and papers. Last serviced in June 2019 and has two years warranty remaining almost. I have been offered to trade directly against a Sub Hulk 2010 no papers. Should I go for it? |

I think the GMT is going to keep going up. I'd be tempted to keep a really nice one. Depends what you like, do you really want a hulk? |

I would not make this trade. The Hulk does nothing for me and I think 5 digit series are the best.

Although I prefer the newer models, I'd have to say no to this trade. With no papers the values are way off

I have both hulk and 5 digit gmt.
I would keep the gmt over the hulk if I had to choose.

You never mentioned the “who” lingering in the wings...
Who is offering the Hulk? That watch without papers carries some risk of not being legit, not being theft-free, and not truly owned by the “who”. Buy the seller first (or in this case, the trader). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I much prefer the Pepsi over the hulk so I wouldn’t do the trade...the hulk just doesn’t do it for me though I know it’s really popular with TRF.

Sounds like you are a bit bored and it sounds a fun change. Unless you REALLY want a new model rolex, no. |

Thanks for the responses guys, in regards to future investment values (I undertsand watches are not investments) however for market values over the years, which is better to hold on to? I'm leaning towards the 5 digit rolex's will increase further than the more recent. hmm

That’s a hard NO. Think you are upside down on value and vintage for current production modern never ends well long term.

no way especially if the pepsi is all original. considering you have full set, its not as common and will be worth more in 5-10 years... if not already (depending on condition vs the other one).

No way. The GMT is worth more. You can find (with a little effort) a new hulk at an ad.
