On the fence

I have a new 126610LN incoming and I currently have both a 116610LN and LV. I’m thinking of selling the 116610LN so that I still have 2 subs, just different generations. Can’t tell if I’m making a mistake doing that or not. Anyone else in a similar boat? Or those that have multiple generations of black subs care to chime in on why I should keep the older black sub

I personally think that unless you have a reason to keep both, not worth doing so. Put the 11 series towards something else.

Unless you're planning on getting the 4 and 5 digit Subs to build a specific collection, I say sell the 116610LN and put it towards something else/offset the 126610LN

Do you have a chance to get 126610LV instead of 126610LN or not? If your AD allows you to, I would get 126610LV instead. At lease the Hulk and the new Kermit doesn't look the same and IMHO it's good to have both.

Sounds like a good plan to me, that's what I would do in your situation.

I requested the 126610lv once everyone found the backdoor website page that showed new models the day before it was released. My AD thought it was funny, I sent her the link to make sure she knew I wasn’t BSing. I initially told her no interest in LN but once offered I couldn’t say no. I’m sure she will come thru w the LV at some point hopefully sooner than later.

I am considering to the same but with the Sub No date.
The idea of having two different generations of Subs is tempting.

Gat the 126610LN see how you feel and if too similar offload the 116610 for the new LV if and when it comes in.

Do you need the money? If not, I'd keep all 3 of them.

Early Congrats! Nothing wrong with multiple Subs. I have a 5 and 6 digit Sub although that's a little more of a difference than your situation. I'd at least hold on to it for a little. Thats always an easy piece to move. Do you have any interest in something else to replace it with, maybe a Gmt, Expll ?

If you are not in need for immediate cash or want to trade-in for another watch, I would keep them. The pre-owned prices are such that you can hold on to them for a little while longer.

As many others said, unless you're interested in building a Sub collection of perhaps every generation down the line, I say sell the 11. No point having two black ceramic Subs. And if you want your supercase watch you still have the Hulk.

If you don’t need the funds, wait a while and reassess in a few weeks of owning all of them.

There is ZERO sense in keeping a 116610LN and a 126610LN. Its 99.9% same watch.

Personally I wouldn't want those 2 black Subs. I'd keep the 126610.

Agree with Travis. I think both would be a little redundant since they are so similar.

As others have said I’d ditch the 116610LN. Unless it’s specifically needed for a “collection” they’re just too similar.
