NEED ADVICE, which watch should I trade towards a GMT Master II Batgirl?
The Batman on a Jubilee (Batgirl) is my new wish. Spoke to my AD a couple weeks about about my desire for one. I realize this is going to take some time but also told him if and when this opportunity becomes available I would be trading in one of my watches towards the purchase. Of my current collection which would be the best one to trade in? I'm honestly thinking Blue Dial OP. I don't think I will get much for a trade in on the Muller and believe it or not I consistently get compliments on that watch when I wear it because of how unique. I also like to keep my collection somewhat diversified so trade in a Rolex for a Rolex?

im probably in the minority here but i would trade the dj on jubilee.
the OP is starkly different from the gmt. the dj is also jubilee and has a date. the rest of the items arent worth it to trade imo i would just keep them.

Nice collection, depends on your wearing habits. I like them all, but the Panerai would be the least difficult for me to let go.

Am not a fan of Panerai so that would be my choice. Regardless of which one you let go better to sell it yourself than giving it to the AD on a trade

I’d definitely sell the PAM. Keep the blue OP

That's a tough one, but I think I would lean toward keeping both the DJ and the OP and trading the Mueller (depending on if you can get a decent price for it).
That's going to leave you with 2 jubilee bracelets, but such is life lol. |

I like Panerai and own one myself, but not that PAM. I’d sell that one. Or the IWC

Paneri or the Muller would go first.
The IWC is very, very nice. Definitely a hold on that one. OP and Batman would make a sick 2 watch collection. I would keep the Datejust.

I’d trade the Panerai and the Franck Muller if I was you. That particular Panerai does nothing for me (although I’ve owned a 253 and a 233 in the past), and I don’t think the FM fits your wrist that well IMO.

That FM is huge on your wrist, but the most beautiful watch in your collection and surely the best conversation starter. Id let the Panerai go.

Honestly, I like your collection as-is.
If you need to trade, then, yes, OP is the one to go, as I think you’ll more likely wear the BLNR or DJ when going Rolex. I’d keep the others. Great variety. |

Appreciate that and sometimes I need to be more thankful and content with my current collection and what I have worked hard for and to stop thinking I need more. Having said that this crown gets addicting and I have such an admiration for the watch game that my interests will always be there. I guess other addictions could be worse lol.

OP, I think the really strong watches in your collection are the Datejust, the Franck Muller (very cool watch) and the Panerai (until you’ll eventually grow out of that latter one, at least that’s what happened for me). Keep those and take the GMT on Oyster, then you’ll avoid a redundancy with the Datejust and the Oyster bracelet works so much better with the fat lugs of the GMT.

Frank Muller & IWC would be my pick. If needed for $ then the Panerai.

Keep the DJ white and trade all of them. GMT BLNR and DJ white would be an excellent two-watch rotation/collection.
