Would you trade DJ41 for 126710BLNR?

I have the following in mine collection:
1) DJ41
2) Hulk Sub
3) Omega Speedy Moonwatch


Would you trade DJ41 for 126710BLNR to complete sea/air/land collection?


Current collection: Rolex Datejust 41, Rolex Submariner 116610LV, Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional

No definitely not. You have an amazing classic dress watch.. BLNR is too much sports even on jubilee.

No.

I don't like the BLNR so I am biased.

I'd add an Explorer 42mm without subtracting anything.

No, you have a great 3 watch collection, taking the DJ out and replacing it with the BLNR will leave the collection unbalanced.

No.

I would eventually move the Speedy out and upgrade to a Daytona though.

All day every day. Then pick up DJ later if you find there's a hole in your collection. I mention this because, at one time, I thought I had to have 2-3 "dress" watches. Then I quit my job, so I didn't have to dress up as much. Now those watches don't get worn much because they don't look right with my jeans and t-shirt lifestyle. Not really interested in getting another dress watch until I have a need.

Yes without a doubt.

The GMT is far more useful to me and I like the looks far better.

I'd say yes, but if you like the DJ and want a dressier watch still, then no. As others have said, you have plenty of sports in your collection already.

I would trade the Speedmaster before I trade the DJ. Dont get me wrong, Love a good speedy. However you need some variety and that DJ will def do that.

100% no way, not in a million years for a trade. BLNR is a fine watch, but it's still just a child's action figure compared to the stately TT DJ champagne dial. Add a BLNR if you like, but not at the expense of the DJ.

This.

The BLNR is a sub variant with GMT and a cool band. And I am a HUGE fan of the BLNR (I would love one since I no longer have my Sub from years ago).

You already have a beautiful Hulk sub. No need to double up with the Bat. Your DJ gives you great variety in your collection. I wouldn't give that up.

Absolutely. Not even a question for me unless the DJ41 has sentimental value.

It’s a preference thing. For many I’m sure the hulk checks a lot of the same boxes as a BLNR so not sure if it makes sense. A DJ is simply not my style though so I’d much prefer the BLNR even with a hulk or other sports watches in my line up
