Trade 2 for 1?

I currently own a Dark Side of the Moon Vintage (Ref# 311.92.44.51.01.006) and a Speedmaster 3861 Hesalite (Ref# 310.30.42.50.01.001). The Vintage is from 2019 and the Hesalite is from 2022. Lately I've been thinking about trading both towards either the 50th anniversary Snoopy or the Caliber 321 Ed White. I've seen several of each for sale between $16,800 - $17,200, which would mean it would take my two watches plus between $4-5k.
Would you make this deal? I'm generally a quality over quantity type person, so I'm leaning in that direction, but I would love to hear your thoughts.

If u fancy the change then go for it.
I think the added on money amount a bit too much tho!

Why not ask your local Omega boutique for either the Snoopy or 321?

It's always a conundrum ...

I usually advocate to add before selling anything if at all possible.

That said, the 321 is an absolute stunner, and if you're a space nerd, history buff, movement guru ... its hard not to say yes to this trade.

As far as I know, the closest boutique to me is NJ or NY, and I assumed that since I wasn't close by or had a previous spend history with them, I wouldn't be likely to get anything from them. But, maybe I'm wrong.

You can now get the 321 new grey for just a bit over rrp!
Why bother going on a list or spending to get history...just go grey and enjoy

All I can tell you is that I have $0 spend history with Omega and I discussed my interest in 321 with the local boutique 4 months ago. At that time I was told it would be about 2 years before I can get one. I met with the boutique director last month and now it looks like I might be able to get one by the end of the year. People are dropping off of waitlists fast.

If the 321 is the one for you why not figure it out and get one. If it does not work out you can circle back around and pick up different watches very easily. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

I don't think I would do this trade. The pieces you have are fantastic and versatile. I like the 321 but I think it's a bit overrated when compared to the 3816 (Chunkier, thicker, heavier, etc.). The snoopy is a different look, but I you've gotta really like that look.
