Opinions on this trade?

[kwingy]

Hi All,

I got a black LN and its a great watch and currently its my only Rolex but ultimately I have had this watch a couple of times now and it's getting pretty boring.

I am contemplating trading it for a 16613 Blue 2005 with box and papers (my LN is just the watch itself)

Do you think I should do it? The 16613 is one of the few watches I have never had before. I do prefer the 6 digit bluesy but don't currently have the funds for it. I am 36 so have no qualms about wearing 2 tone.

I have worn plenty of 5 digit references before in the past so it won't be a shock really to back to a 5 digit reference.

Opinions welcome. I think with XMAS coming up - just got the Christmas itch to buy something but I do wonder with the market the way it is, sticking with SS is the way forward.

Thanks All.

I would stick with the SS and make the transition in to the 6 digit when funds permit.

You have a fabulous piece and I would not be too quick to give up the Glidelock just before holiday feasting.

Acting on impulse, or an “itch”, is not always the best course of action.

Better to be decisive. Stick with what you currently own, and continue saving so that when a watch comes along that you really do want, will be ready to buy.

Stick with what you have. When you have the funds, go look.

Put me in their camp.

In all seriousness, I wouldn't give up a 6 digit sub for a 5 digit. And I'm probably the biggest bluesy fan on this forum.

Ah ok - thanks for all your advice - it's just me getting the itch and getting carried away again!

[uncufunc]

yup. get the 116613 when you can

If it’s what you want then go ahead. Seems to me you really want the 6digit, so save a little and then make the trade.

The other watch will prob lose value while you wait while the 116610 will stay solid I suspect so you will lose less in the long run and be able to buy the one you really want more quickly.

I would never back to 5 digits. I love modern Rolex SuperCase, MaxiDial, Glidelock and Ceramic. I would wait founds for the 11661xxxx TT.

I would make that trade, because I prefer the 16613 LB to the 116610 LN.

Save for 6.

Save for new Bluesy
