Am I stup** for doing that??
Folks,
I am about to trade my Tudor Pelagos blue for an IWC le petit prince blue and 800 cash from my side. Would you do it? Or am I going to regret it? Thanks! |

If that’s what you want it can’t be stupid. They’re both nice watches!

Not unless you're stup**!
Any trade, if it makes you happy, is a good trade.

I prefer the Pelagos, but I know that’s not what you asked

I would do that trade. Much prefer the look of the IWC. I have a soft spot for aviation/pilot watches though.

I don't own either but have tried both on. If I had a choice, I would go with IWC le petit prince blue. Really great piece.

I am going to stay with an Explorer 114270 and an IWC... I love the IWC, but I love the Pelagos too... I think the deal is pretty good, what do you guys think? 4150$ for an almost new IWC Petit prince...? 3300$ brand new Pelagos+830$ cash...

I've met Mr. Klaus during a small private event many years ago. Great guy, wonderful company. Ya know, I'd do that trade.

This is one of the forerunners from IWC (3777-06) there are multiple LPP formats from IWC hence the confusion which one you meant OP. Personally I would go with the IWC. Since I gave this to my brother he has enjoyed wearing it very much and that blue dial is marvellous.

preference wise I would go with the IWC. I think it's a lovely watch, however when discussing the deal itself I could not tell you if it was good financially or not.

I personally wouldn't do that trade. But if that's what you want to do. Just do it!

I have it, bought it at 4,250 new. Bought also the IWC OEM NATO Fabric straps and some Dassari Pilot strap to change things up. I would buy new at this price range.
Edit: I have to add that mine is on strap, on bracelet is more expensive. |

It is on a strap, so the price is valid. I will, however, add that I am located in Europe and the prices are a bit different. The prices in North America for watches is incredible. No chance to get these kind of deals in here. Still, I will try to get a little bit of a better price on it... Thank you!
