I had a Blancpain many years ago but would NEVER do the swap

I wouldn't consider the trade.

Wait until the initial surge of 42 FF's settles.. If they are offering 16% off for a recently introduced "hot" watch, imagine what's going to happen when the supply increases and the demand cools a bit.
Then there will like new, barely worn examples on the pre owned market for more like 40% off. LV is special and probably more accurate. I love the aesthetics of the FF by the way. The FF and the SeaQ both offer more refinement than the Sub, but I have a feeling you would regret moving on. "Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life". |

forget about a blancpain (great watch, no doubt). add a breguet marine 5817 big date to your collection. you can find these in white and rose gold for $12-$14k!

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. |

Not a day goes by I don't regret selling my LV. Even though I've bought the latest version. You'll regret it, trust me.

I like the Seamaster more than the Fifty Fathoms. So if I wanted an alternative diver, I’d go with an Omega.
