Is a Sub 114060 with JLC Reverso Tribute sm secs for BLNR Batman/girl a good trade?

I recently posted this question but decided I wanted to rephrase:

I have a 2020 Rolex 114060 (not in mint condition), plus a 2019 JLC Reverso Tribute with small hands (near mint; blue sun dial), both full kits, Rolex comes with original oyster bracelet as well as rubber b strap.

I am looking at acquiring the following:


1 of ... Rolex GMT ll Batman ...OR... Rolex GMT ll Batgirl


I have been offered both a Batman and a batgirl in two different trade scenarios for both of my watches but I am torn on whether or not this is an acceptable deal and if I’ll regret it down the road. I only buy watches sporadically, and I’m only a hobbyist.

In Canadian dollars, this JLC model is probably worth between $7-8k CAD (or roughly $6k usd) with a retail price of $10,900 plus tax (about $12.3k cad or $9400 usd).

Sub value approx $13k cad (currently) or $9500-10k usd.

So, value wise, I’m looking at about $20k Canadian minimum (or $15.3k usd), so as it stands, that’s roughly around where the Batman/batgirl is valued within the market give or take.

This appears to be a fair trade based on current market value alone. Obviously if we’re talking retail, I’d be losing thousands of dollars if I made this deal.


The questions I am asking are:

A. What is the general consensus on this trade?

B. Hypothetically, if I were to just sell both watches and get $20k CAD and then go and take that 20k and buy a grey market BLNR Batman/batgirl is that a bad deal?

C. If all 3 watches were available to buy, $20k for the combo of the sub and JLC reverso, or 20k on the BLNR Batman/batgirl. What would YOU buy at the current prices I listed above? (Excluding all other options outside of this scenario, i.e. no keeping the money and buying something else, and no waiting to buy at retail prices or for the market to come down). I know everyone has different tastes, but I’m looking to get objective responses.

D. Out of the Batman (oyster) and the batgirl (jubilee/updated movement), why would one choose one over the other?


One final note. Please just move along if this post bothers you in some way. I’m not looking for any negativity or comments that are not related to my question(s). Just looking for some simple opinions from other fellow watch enthusiasts. No one likes a negative nelly. Thanks all :) I appreciate all of your responses/thoughts.
