Are you a fan of the free champagne or the salespeople?

I’d say wait. Last year I had a somewhat similar experience and almost paid over retail to get the Blnr. Waited and weeks later one AD I’ve never bought from managed to secure me one. In the meantime enjoy your TT Sub! Maybe try to put your name down at those ADs in the smaller cities? Good luck.

1) Your always gonna lose money on a trade. As soon as you wear the watch its used. Just like buying a brand new car as soon as it leaves the driveway of the dealer its dropped $10k in value. LOL

2) Keep your TT sub. If its a bluesy even better. Even these are getting quite hard to get from ADs - heck any sports model is hard except for full PM models.

It's a dilemma, I don't think any of these SS Rolexes are worth more than 10% above retail, but there is no sign that prices will fall in the near future. Tough time to be a Rolex non VIP.

No different to buying new a car and part exchanging it three weeks later. It's not a wise financial move.
