Would you do this trade?
I can get the new Diver 15720CN at retail, but would want to free up some cash to do so.
I can sell my 41mm Rolex Sub SS Black date and WG Blue to cover this piece plus have some extra cash in my pocket (got both at retail; haven't worn either yet). So do I drop 2 new 41mm Submariners to get this AP WG diver (I would still have the Starbucks - which I love and will never sell)? Sent from my SM-G985F using Tapatalk |

had to read this 5 times to ensure its not another troll thread...
I wouldn't do this trade, the 15720CN when I tried at the boutique was extremely head heavy, it didn't feel balanced at all on the wrist, Not to mention that's alot $ for a watch on rubber strap. I'd go a with a normal SS diver if there is an opportunity to do so |

Inuderstand the white gold is the best color combo ( read as safe ) compare to others. But i rather get the normal steel diver or if really must contain a gold, why not the offshore chrono? Since you have starbuck as a diver, might as well go different.

Not a fan of the Rolex or the Diver so hard for me to say. Looks like you already have some APs so will this get worn more than the Subs?

Might ask for Green Diver instead and keep the subs. Sent from my SM-G985F using Tapatalk |

With both of the subs being unworn, it sounds like the end game is selling for profit? So, i would say stick with what you have. If you’re planning on wearing them, the AP is a bit meh. It’s large, heavy and relatively boring. I would rather wear the WG.

agreed - diver is meh - the only one I like is the black ceramic version and the rose gold one - japan edition. both are way too pricey at this point.

The diver is pretty subtle (or plain?) for a $60k watch, but so is the WG Sub at a slightly lower price point. I think it works as part of an extensive collection, but I'm not so sure as a trade target. To me the slightly cheaper pink gold 43mm ROO or the steel diver look more attractive (although on the diver side I am looking to see if there are more variants before contemplating a move).

I would just sell the WG but as you have the Starbucks/new green one I take it, then might be worth selling both and no extra cash. But as above, I would go for the 43 ROO, more interesting piece.

I had the white dial with blue accent 15710 and sold it (plus $$) for the older model WG sub. I miss the 15710 sometimes, but still prefer the wg sub to it.

Flip away my friend, but sounds like that is nothing new. Enjoy!
