Trade ST1 for trilogy speedmaster LE?

So I was thinking of trading my speedy Tuesday 1 for the trilogy speedmaster LE. Was wondering if anyone owns or owned both and their thoughts . Thx !

I haven't owned either, but I like both, each for their own merit. I think if I were choosing one for keeps it would be the Trilogy LE for me, so I vote yes on this trade.

I have both and ST2 also. Keep the ST1 and buy the 60th Anniversary seperately if you have the funds. You can always get the trilogy in the future as its produced more than the ST1. Finding the ST1 may not be that easy again.

I have both. It is a difficult choice as both are really special and they are my favourite two watches. Out of the two the ST1 just about wins it for me because of the dial and the 60th in turn is just ahead of the Ultraman. This is all very subjective with no wrong answers but I wouldn't rush to swap without being 100% sure.

I’d do that trade as the trilogy is a perfect size for a smaller wrist

I have the 60th and really love it. It’s the best speedy to me. The ST1 while being lower quantity is less unique in my opinion...the 60th is unique in case size and lots of other details even though being made in a larger quantity

I have both as well, but the size of the 60th is much better for me. Are you trying to find a new one?

No, doesn’t need to be brand new. Was considering trading mine (mint, pre owned) for a mint, pre owned 60th- for many of the reasons above - smaller size , more different from a standard speedy pro (which I also have). On the other hand, the fully brushed case and reverse panda of the ST1 are special . Hence my dilemma!

Are you getting the watch plus cash? Still plenty of 60th LE's hanging around AD's in the UK whereas ST1 is still selling for well above RRP.

I own both the ST's and wouldn't swap either for the 60th.

Thx- haven’t got to that point yet but assumed in a private trade I would ask for cash. Still deciding , thx for your perspective!
