Trade advice : Do or Do Not

[derekstlmo]

i would keep the blnr and get rid of the rest

[CassiusNZ]

Agree with consensus of keep BLNR and trade rest... 5712R is sick... OR add more and goto 5980/1R *drool*

[redsubby]

For me, not a chance. At least not for this watch.

I am really on the fence! All suggestions are spot on and is making my decision very tough. I might be doing the "Pause" method that was suggested by racerdj.

I am falling in love with the Nautilus and the 5712r and 5980 are on the top of the list!!!

I hope I can make a move soon, this in-between stage right before a purchase is made or a decision not to purchase, really sucks!

Good advice to pause for a few weeks to let the decision settle in. I've found that this helps me decide if I really want the watch. Funny thing is, each time I did this, I eventually ended up getting the watch.

I would need to trade :
AP safari
Hulk
Daytona
BLNR


I love the Nautilus but am screwed trying to justify getting rid of 4 pieces for 1. I haven't been able to grasp the reality of that. I need help!

Let me know what you all think.

do it! life too short. pp5712 is a very special piece. good luck n looking forward to your incoming call this year! .. Jen

At first I said no. But then I realized that if it is a rare piece that's calling your name, then do it. Heck I'm still debating to liquidate a few watches for a DD. If it is the one watch that you want go for it. They others can easily be acquired later on if you change your mind.

That Patek doesn't have the versatility to take the place of all your rolex

Agree.

I'd keep one that is completely different, probably the LVC or BLNR.

Think of a Tiffany dial like the scuderia shield: it's more desirable with, people are willing to pay a premium and the history is built of a few special but now is branded on other references.

OOOFFFFF! You wear them well!

I much prefer having fewer watch options available to me. I tend to gravitate towards one piece, so I recently culled my watches from four down into one. Haven't looked back and am happier to have my special piece. Makes managing services, trades and sales a heck of a lot easier. Also helps I'm a tad older now and am moving up the chain in terms of watch brands.

If you can make it by with only one watch, a great watch btw, then by all means go for it. Nothing worse than havin watches sitting in your drawer.

[Daytonaman799]

Its a tough call. If you could swing two for one it may be the better bet.

Otherwise I know what its like...I traded many for one last year. An AP ROO Alinghi Dual Time, a PP 5059J, an AP RO Perpetual Calendar, and a Gold Bronze GMT II PLUS cash for a NIB 5970J. I have not regretted that trade at all. Good luck & Happy New Year!
