I just traded my Kermit for a full set 16710!

Fellow TRFers! Within but a couple of days ago I was asking you all whether i should trade my Kermit for a BLNR or 16710. Well, turns out a decent deal came up and I did the trade today! Behold, my full set K-serial Coke!

I'll be posting more pictures shortly (as this one is horrible) and am nowhere near an actual computer but I'm just too excited to share!

Now that I've moved from being a Sub guy to a GMT master, any advice on how i can get the other inserts!?

Congrats! Could always add a jubilee too along with all three inserts and you have six watches in one.

Congrats & looks great, I don’t think I could separate the both of them after my daily rotation. The K is a nice year for the GMT, you should have the laser etched crown with that one.

Very pleased so far and indeed, the K serial is amazing for this reference and I wasn’t even planning on it! The sub feels thick in comparison to this comfortable stunner!

I’m unsure whether to say congrats to you or, the guy who got the kermit. I’m guessing there must have been $$$ in your favor right?

Why is everyone knocking his trade?? Nobody knows the specifics, and he’s obviously stoked about his decision. Chill-out. Good grief......this forum has turned into a bunch of people that only care about value retention and the bottom dollar.

OP, congrats. An aluminum GMT is a fantastic one and only.

I could honestly never bond with the subs. The Hulk was my first, then bought 16610LN, then the Kermit, all out the door even despite how much I wanted to love ‘em!
