I wouldn’t do it.
Keep the LN and you can trade the DJ later (with more cash for a BLNR) or wait for one at MSRP from the AD

I also do not think it would have been a good trade, especially needing to add $1200. I wouldn't even think just the 2 for 1 deal was great on your side.

It would have been a mistake in my opinion. Glad you held off.

Glad you held off. Not the worst trade in the world but if I were you, I'd see how much I can get for both watches and go for the 126710 BLNR instead.

Good move to pass this up. Get on a list for a batman on jubilee. Once you get the call you can always sell the DJ36 and the LN (head only). Keep the bracelet and swap out the jubilee whenever you are in the mood. I believe you will net out positive most likely. New batman is more or less $10k. You can sell the LN no bracelet for 7k easily. And the DJ36 well you already know the price. Zero money out of pocket.

Glad you kept the LN rather than effectively paying thousands of dollars for exactly the same watch - albeit with a bit of blue.

Wise move. I came into this thread late but would have said it’s a bad deal.

Personally I prefer the LN Over the BLNR by a mile, but that’s just me.

Even with that in mind, the BLNR is not worth an LN plus a DJ plus cash.

Not in a month of Sunday’s.

Agree, to me does not makes any sense. You could source the genuine dial, hand and bezel insert for a lot less (have seen them somewhere for sale before)

Five pages, felt a bit like one of those soap opera set-ups.

BLNR was like JR Ewing and we're all waiting for him to get punched in the mouth.
