I have the opportunity to trade my Milgauss GV black dial straight up for a black no-date sub. I already have a GMTc LN and I like the Milgauss, but am drawn to the sub. I know, I know, whichever sings to me, but if I am indifferent what is the WISE move here? Thanks in advance

SLS · 8 February 2019, 06:36 AM

Which model no date Sub?

mk2jag · 8 February 2019, 06:36 AM

I would not. your two watches complement each other nicely...

sutats · 8 February 2019, 06:36 AM

The wise move is the one that gives you the most peace.

jimcameron · 8 February 2019, 06:38 AM

If you are confident the Sub is 100%. Do the trade. Keep in mind the cost of service, box, papers, etc.

cdubg21 · 8 February 2019, 06:41 AM

Ceramic, full set, same condition as milgauss (very good to excellent)

cdubg21 · 8 February 2019, 06:57 AM

My hangup is the similarity between sub and my GMT but it would be nice to have a watch without pcl’s which the sub accomplishes

PossumDixon · 8 February 2019, 06:58 AM

I'd trade in a heartbeat.

Fresh_1 · 8 February 2019, 06:59 AM

In the end its a personal decision, but I would do it as well. You can always trade/sell the ND Sub to reacquire Black Milgauss GV if you miss it, with minimal if not breakeven financial consequences. I dont think I can say the same if you were trading the ND Sub to get the Milgauss.

watchwatcher · 8 February 2019, 07:00 AM

Just buy the sub. Sounds like it can be had for reasonable money.

You can figure out which one you want to keep later.

If you have any hang ups I'd say you should probably not do the trade. Hang ups generally lead to regret.

Personally I would keep the Milgauss. Used to own the Sub and currently own the Milgauss.

I would absolutely do this trade especially at no additional money! The brushed look is a good alternative to the PCL on your other piece. As a bonus, the Sub is a lot easier to sell down the line than the GV.

pigman08 · 8 February 2019, 07:04 AM

I’d be all over that trade... Do it quickly before the Sub owner changes his/her mind.

I would, but I prefer the sub to the milgauss

Jerrocop · 8 February 2019, 07:16 AM

Yeah I'd do that trade.

Me too. Sub is classic.

I'd do it.

Stevec14 · 8 February 2019, 07:42 AM

Monetarily it is a good deal - I’d be wary personally.

That said, you’d have 2 watches that look pretty much the same from more than 5 feet away.

I wouldn’t do it personally.

Straight up? Heck yeah do it now.

Thines · 8 February 2019, 07:48 AM

Man, you better grab that Sub! You won't regret it, you might even be upset at yourself for delaying the decision.

drm20 · 8 February 2019, 07:50 AM

My vote is to do the trade for sure! Good luck!

travisb · 8 February 2019, 07:55 AM

My straight up answer is yes but it's tough to part with a watch you still like in the Milgauss.

Carry The Interest · 8 February 2019, 07:58 AM

I would personally do this trade. Curious if the other party is doing some speculative investing on the Milgauss -- maybe they're drinking the "OMG the Milguass is on the Rolex Instagram so it must be changing this year" kool-aid and think the current reference will be going up in value soon.

Dpop24 · 8 February 2019, 08:00 AM

I’m in the minority I guess. I like your current pair better than a Sub/GMT pair.

81sforlife · 8 February 2019, 08:01 AM

Do it!

Andad · 8 February 2019, 08:09 AM

I have both.

I'd stay with the Milgauss GV.

The SubC is nice but the Milgauss is different.

rmlovett1 · 8 February 2019, 08:09 AM

For a straight trade, and everything with the sub is legit....absolutely I’d do it!

JonnyBCisco · 8 February 2019, 08:26 AM

No way. The Milgauss GV black dial is 10x cooler than a plain ol sub. Nothing else like it. Not by a LONG shot.

zengineer · 8 February 2019, 08:26 AM

Good deal from a pure financial standpoint, but waters down your collection
