YG Sub = DD + $4k

And honestly the trade in value of the DD is like less then $15k probably around $13-14k

Verdi · 20 July 2017, 03:29 AM

That diamond meteorite dial is just a bit too much bling for my taste so I would not do it.

joli160 · 20 July 2017, 05:01 AM

In a heartbeat yes.

bobernet · 20 July 2017, 05:06 AM

Meteorite is pretty special...

The values are pretty close. I'd do it because I don't care for the super case 6 digit Subs.

Do the trade, and then trade your old DD toward a 16618 in blue, black, or serti!

Not so much. The meteorite dials are a very expensive option. Current retail on a DD36 with meteorite is around $42k.

As i love the DD i wouldn't do it..

watchwatcher · 20 July 2017, 06:38 AM

No.

The only DD I would even think about trading that sub for would be the DD40...and even then I don't know if I would.

KBM · 20 July 2017, 07:00 AM

I would not.

LightOnAHill · 20 July 2017, 07:15 AM

TickTockChuck · 20 July 2017, 07:29 AM

Personally l would keep the gold Sub, but if you were to trade l would think your Sub is worth more. You pay a premium for a meteorite/diamonds when new, but that drops off over time, especially 13 years. That's a big change over from the Sub to DD in looks, but maybe that's what your ready for. Good luck! Cheers!

HogwldFLTR · 20 July 2017, 07:43 AM

I like the DD better of the two; I'd do it.

Tridor · 20 July 2017, 08:37 AM

I would not do the trade, unless you were getting cash on top of the DD. One thing you should do before any trade is to have the DD authenticated by an AD. No one has mentioned this, and I just wanted to raise the issue so that you don't get screwed if you decide to do the trade.

droptopman · 20 July 2017, 08:43 AM

Not me. I love Subs so may not be the best source.

jbro352 · 20 July 2017, 08:47 AM

I'd keep the sub

encarter13 · 21 July 2017, 12:50 AM

Do not make that deal!

Calatrava r · 21 July 2017, 01:24 AM

The sub will hold its value. I think that DD will continue to go south.

passssss. keep the gold sub!

ap1 · 21 July 2017, 03:49 AM

Keep sub

Wahlberg · 21 July 2017, 04:13 AM

I wouldn't do the trade.

The meteorite dial is indeed special and may be worth it but I just doesn't feel right.

Tony-GB · 21 July 2017, 05:09 AM

Keep the Submariner.

That is the one day-date I hope to own one day!

As for the OP's question, I am going to go against the pack here. You can always get another gold sub. I like to think the meteorite dials are a little more scarce, and that one is gorgeous. If dollar for dollar they are similar in value then do what you like. You seem to be leaning towards the day date...go for it!

superstarmar · 21 July 2017, 07:12 AM

No!!!! The YG Sub is more versatile plus you
said you already have a DD...

peterpl · 21 July 2017, 08:50 AM

Honestly the meteorite dial is ugly. Makes the dial look cluttered and not so easy to read the time.
