So I was thinking of trading my basically new Milgauss Z Blue dial for a Basically new BLNR but the guy is firm on 1900 difference
Would it be foolish?
I'm torn!!

CommanderRiker · 30 March 2015, 12:10 PM

I don't like it personally as there isn't that much msrp differential.

Seaswirl · 30 March 2015, 12:16 PM

Not a very good deal to me.

iazrollie · 30 March 2015, 12:16 PM

Milgauss' don't retain their value as well and are discounted more than the blnr.

Nycturbovr6 · 30 March 2015, 12:18 PM

1200 I would do it

Danny83 · 30 March 2015, 12:20 PM

1900 is too much,I would just get the BLNR first and sell the milguass on TRF.

I know over a couple of years the BLNR will likely be worth a couple of grand more but is that a realistic way to view it?

jjnd08 · 30 March 2015, 12:22 PM

Pass.

Tyl3r · 30 March 2015, 12:27 PM

Maybe, if you could get it for $1500.

Nope
I've been 2 days just getting him down from 2Gs
He's not moving

Chadridv · 30 March 2015, 12:37 PM

If the fella won't budge and you're not happy with the deal, sell your Milgauss and buy a BLNR elsewhere, maybe?

franklin · 30 March 2015, 12:41 PM

i suggest keeping the Milgauss.

My thoughts exactly
I think it's a no brainer
I will pass and sell privately
Should be able to get a reasonable price for it as it's an absolute 10/10

Then pass. You'd be better off selling your watch and buying the BLNR from another seller.

BNA/LION · 30 March 2015, 01:06 PM

Pass. I'd look for one here and sell the other if you want.

dave_dave · 30 March 2015, 04:38 PM

If you dont like the mil anymore.. do the trade.

Love the Milgauss
Problem is I LOVE all of them

travisb · 30 March 2015, 10:15 PM

Too much out of pocket.
Sell the Milgauss. Then you have the funds you need to negotiate on a straight sale of the BLNR.

franklin · 30 March 2015, 10:17 PM

Keep the Milgauss. Save up for the blnr.

Trailblazer · 30 March 2015, 10:18 PM

I would keep the milly

BLNR won't be worth more but probably less. Sounds like you want to trade for it but take your time and get the best deal.

I agree. If you're not too attached to the Mill, sell it and buy the BLNR.
If you are attached to it, hold onto it and buy the BLNR outright or better yet, wait a year, they'll drop in price eventually. Demand is keeping the value of that high right now. Patience is a virtue. Of course, I have no patience and would probably do exactly the opposite of what I just recommended?!

I agree 1900 is too high.
Btw, why do you assume that the BLNR will likely be worth more?
Just of curiosity.
When they stop producing them you mean?

Civi001 · 30 March 2015, 11:06 PM

I could never allow myself to sell such a great and quirky watch which is the Milgauss Z blue. However, an additional watch couldn't hurt anything other than your bank account.

Considering where the price of the other Milgauss' have gone VS the GMT in general
Today pre owned GMT's are selling for yesterday's new prices and the Mils are down considerably
