Be careful that's an awkward grip on the watch holder you might drop all of them. I wouldn't do the swap, you end up with 2 divers, at least keep the polar.

I think if you feel nothing emotional about the watch, trade. Otherwise, just save if that's what you need to do to add!

It's up to you. Your life, your choice.

My personal opinion is that I would not trade a 42mm Polar for a Sub. There's nothing else quite like a Polar. If the speculation about it being made to look like everything else at its next update is even half true, you own a classic that will not be seen again. If you really don't like it, that's another matter altogether.

I have a Polar and a Blusey. I wouldn't part with either of them for the other. I'm very happy to have managed to scrape together enough to have both. Conversely, I don't like Romans on dials and would lose the DJ first chance I got. I don't like the Super Subs either - too big, too top heavy. That's the thing about opinions - only yours matters.

I’d trade one plus cash rather than trade both.

It doesn’t sound like the LB is for you if you’ve had it twice and traded it

Get your favourite TT. But some cash should come your way if you're trading 2 watches for it.

Keep the polar. Trade the DJ for a black EXP2, and then someday, add the bluesy.

I decided not to do this trade.I really love my Deepsea,it is comfortable and unique.I have waited for years to have a Polar ExpII so,love to wear it and also next year it can be changed with a ceramic bezel which I do not like.I dont know it becomes a classic or not but I dont concern about that.This DJ 41 is my first jubilee bracelet watch and really loved it especially under the sun.At the end,I decided to save the money and go for the blue TT sub.I think I can find one TT blue sub in good condition whenever I want..Thanks for your answers.

Get what you want. Trying tio justify what the heart wants will always lead to dissatisfaction and wasting more money in the long term. AND the worst thing is you will keep thinking about it all day and night. Thats how you know you need to do the trade.

This happen to me many times before. You eventually learn to NEVER settle for anything and no reasoning will work.

Go get that 116613LB. One of the most beautiful references available and a timeless classic.

Keep what you have unless you don't like it any more and save more money to get what you want in the future.

That’s not a good trade in my opinion.

Two stainless = one two tone + cash
Or
One stainless + cash = one two tone

But I agree with other comments, best to save and add. Then if you feel your collection is too big you can always sell a piece. That’s the great thing about Rolex; very liquid.
