The Blancpain AD offered me a 16% discount to buy the watch. This offer got me thinking about selling my 16610LV and using the funds to put towards purchasing the BP.
What are peoples thoughts on my idea?
Any responses would be most welcomed.
Thanks,
Darren.

I would go forward with this trade, if it were me, because: (a) the Sub is very recognizable and makes you a target; (b) the Fifty Fathoms isn't recognizable; and (c) the Fifty is true high horology while the Rolex, while still outstanding, is not.
Background: I sold my 50th Anniversary Sub 4 years ago and don't regret it. I currently own a 2013 Fifth Fathoms.
