I am a current lucky owner of a LVc and a BLNR. With the 116619lb being my grail watch, should I take advantage of the current premiums on my BLNR and LVc and sell both to fund a smurf being sold by a TS?

I know I will need to add a bit of funds as well and I don’t have the money to simply add the 116619lb

Any opinions on if the forum would rather have my 2 ss vs 1 pm would be appreciated

nikesupremedunk · 21 August 2018, 09:32 AM

Only you could really answer that. Smurf is one of my grails but I don't think I could personally make that trade unless I was a 1 watch guy.

lenfried29 · 21 August 2018, 09:37 AM

If you posting this then you set your mind at smurf already and have the bug in your system. So no matter what others say you need to get that bug out.

Sarosh · 21 August 2018, 09:43 AM

116619LB. Enough said lol

Kostas · 21 August 2018, 09:43 AM

I wouldn’t do it if it was me , unless I started seeing the undersupply of ss pieces start to rectify

I've done it both ways...consolidated for a PM or expanded PM to steel. Bottom line, it all boils down to what you want to wear.

I will say, though, what you really need to do is consider is if you change your mind or want to add those steel pieces back at some point, what's it going to cost you to replace them and are you OK with that.

Chadridv · 21 August 2018, 10:05 AM

Getting a premium value should only be one factor in the equation, and while significant it’s definitely the second priority IMO. If you absolutely love the 116619 and you feel it can fill the void of losing two awesome watches, I say make the move!

If it were me (and I own both the LVC and BLNR) I wouldn’t do it. I think the 116619 is amazing though!

uniqueMR · 21 August 2018, 10:15 AM

I won't sell LV, BLNR

Heff · 21 August 2018, 10:16 AM

I wouldn’t sell those two to add.

I would make the move. If it’s your grail than the answer is simple. Do it.

Dompropat · 21 August 2018, 10:27 AM

I would do that! 116619LB is awesome.

Mystro · 21 August 2018, 10:32 AM

Not those two watches.

superdog · 21 August 2018, 10:34 AM

That’s tough.

I would not.

affalterbach · 21 August 2018, 10:38 AM

BLNR and LVC are two great watches. Both are desirable and both are fairly common. The white gold Sub is a very unique watch that you won’t see every day. I would definatley trade both of those towards the white gold Sub.

Khans14 · 21 August 2018, 10:41 AM

Absolutely. You are basically turning over two watches that kind of look alike in my opinion for a gorgeous single pm watch. I have never seen a surf in the wild so it is more exotic too.

chad362wiley · 21 August 2018, 10:46 AM

i wouldnt. great pair you have. i would just add them, or sell the BLNR to get the smurf if I had to

Urosfan · 21 August 2018, 10:52 AM

Wow thought it’s up to you, but for me I wouldn’t but I do love the smurf

billee · 21 August 2018, 11:04 AM

I made a similar move about 4 yrs ago. I love the blue sub. It is my daily

jcdeng · 21 August 2018, 11:16 AM

don't do it. you will be kicking yourself later.

T01 · 21 August 2018, 11:19 AM

If there ever was a time to do it, it'd be now with the values the Lvc and Blnr are bringing. Just remember if you want them back they'll likely be hard to source unless you want to pay a premium.

Pw92676 · 21 August 2018, 11:23 AM

I would.

s14roller · 21 August 2018, 11:24 AM

I'm a big fan of the Smurf. I'd do that swap especially if you're saying it's been a grail.

dualcarb · 21 August 2018, 11:33 AM

No...I’d keep two watches

I'd trade that BLNR away but keep the LVc. I do have 3 Rolex GMT II already but really the BLNR isn't for me. And the 116619 is beautiful, and a great piece

Don’t do it.

watchmework · 21 August 2018, 12:41 PM

I would. But I like the smurf more than both the hulk and blnr so I’d have no issues parting with those two.
