I have an opportunity to trade my 116334 blue dial and 126610ln for a 126610lv. I absolutely love the new green sub but I also feel like I’m giving up a lot just for a green bezel. Thoughts?

FWIW, the DJII is my less worn watch. Here’s a pic of my collection for reference.

dukie748 · 31 March 2021, 09:49 AM

Not something I would consider just for a green bezel.

espanol · 31 March 2021, 09:50 AM

Definitely wouldn’t trade two classics for a mere green bezel... but that’s just me.

Do what will make you happy. Life is too short.

Grapenut · 31 March 2021, 09:53 AM

126610ln with a small amount of cash if you really want the piece, otherwise too much just for the green bezel.

I would be looking at adding at least $6-7k going this route

No, please don’t do it.

Based on the collection you have a relationship to leverage. I say source at retail and be patient

Thanks. I got a few through two ADs (Explorer & BB58 at one AD and Sub through another AD). The AD that I have a better history with gave me the “It will take years, haven’t seen one this year & there’s a long waiting list” spiel but I’ll ask again and/or try the other AD where I got my sub.

Perhaps I’m being pessimistic but I don’t think I have enough spend to be offered an LV but who knows.

I would listen to your instinct, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. Same watch, same material, different color bezel.

Don't give up on the hype. It's a stupid green bezel. I hope you see how bad you are getting ripped off.

jimcarver · 31 March 2021, 11:03 AM

No chance.

I'd trade the BLNR (not up on the latest grey prices, would no doubt need to add cash).

I think this would provide some good colour variation, you already have blue and black across your other watches. Downside is you lose the GMT.

Thanks but the BLNR is my favorite watch. It’s a keeper.

Grey dealers are struggling to get rid of the starbucks.
Just pay a slight premium to grey, bargain hard.

Slight premium? I’m seeing them hover around $17-18k. Maybe I’m missing something

Struggling...and slight premium? They're selling for 19k right now.

huba01 · 31 March 2021, 05:16 PM

Don´t do it
Very nice collection btw

peterpl · 31 March 2021, 05:17 PM

For a green bezel your even contemplating that?

NO WAY in the world would I even consider that just for a bezel color.

jeffgo888 · 31 March 2021, 05:21 PM

no way Jose..:_)

goliat · 31 March 2021, 05:21 PM

lol no

IamJacky · 31 March 2021, 05:36 PM

Someone mentioned earlier, you should trade your 126610 plus some cash for the LV.

Foxiness · 31 March 2021, 07:10 PM

too much to give up

This. If your going to give that much up get the hulk. Or source a green bezel and keep your black one if you ever decide to trade/sell in the future.

If you REALLY REALLY want a green bezel keep an eye out on Instagram, Facebook, Ebay and other classified for an OEM green bezel. Any capable watchsmith can swap it out for you in 15mins.

Otherwise you can even get some aftermarket bezels that are almost indistinguishable with the originals.

stewester · 31 March 2021, 07:50 PM

You'd be trading a very nice watch for a different coloured bezel insert. Definite no for me.

Driver8 · 31 March 2021, 07:57 PM

So since you have a 126610LN already, in real terms you'd effectively be "paying" for a green bezel with a 116334. That doesn't sound like a very good deal to me! Essentially it's saying that a green bezel will cost you circa £8k (GBP), so it'd be a definite 100% NO from me!

But that said, watch buying for me isn't about the money - it's about owning what I really like - so if you feel the green bezel is worth losing a 116334 for then go for it. Life's too short.

Shaney · 31 March 2021, 08:08 PM

I think you already know the answer, it'll be a no from me
