Opinion on flipping my submariner for two omegas?

[HHIslander]

No. For two SMPs and an AT, maybe.

[dhknola]

This is the worst trade idea I have seen awhile, DON'T DO IT.

[Gladiat0r]

Try your best to add the Omega and keep the sub. I had both and as similar as they are, they are different watches.

Would you trade a Porsche 911 for two Audi S3's? I wouldn't

Always trade up, not down.

If you want a Omega any time, you can get it any time. A Rolex, not so much.

[Maiden]

You need to do what you want, but remember if you want to re aquire the Rolex you will get creamed. If it was me, I would just add the AT and go from there.

If you’re even considering this then do it.

[Dayve]

Keep your Rolex and add a Black Bay 41 or the BB58.

[Eingram141]

Dont trade the Sub. I LOVE your two Omega picks and you should definitely get them, but just not at the cost of the loosing the sub. Omegas are great watches and a bonus is they are plentiful. But you aren’t taking advantage of that bonus if you use a now very rare watch to get them.
Be patient. Maybe stick your Sub in a drawer and wear something else for a while… youll start missing it in a few weeks.

Some of these answers are pretty laughable…

Lots of investment answers, but I didn’t see that as the question at all. I like SMP on rubber a lot, and would think that and an AT plus cash back to you is a pretty cool deal.

To the car analogy guys, maybe you’re not car guys? Lots of reasons to get out of 1 nicer vehicle for 2 lesser but varied choices. I sold a Raptor to lease a basic Ram and buy a used 911… guess I’m an idiot ;)

If there are 2 other watches you really love, go for it. You can always get a 126610 in the future and have the better proportioned case.

[karleone]

I would never trade a Submariner for two Omegas!

[travisb]

No way. Keep your Sub. Add an Omega.

[Woody]

Go for it.....once it is in your head there is no turning back.

This 100%!

[johnny.tran1]

don't do it

[Boaters]

No No No ...

[MARTIN1264]

No.........

Precisely, but let me add as well, bezel rotation in Seamaster 300 is awful, clicks are plasticky to say at least. Cheap, cheap, cheap …. Otherwise caliber works perfectly, but details are not there!

It's all about health, happiness & family. The rest are just necessary inconveniences we have to deal with.

I support dumb decisions. Do it!

[Chester01]

Yes, so the green despite the group think you hear on this forum, is pastel in nature, has a blocky case, and not all that versatile certainly not as versatile as its black or 5 digit or new version. Now, the thing is, should you want it back you will 1) not likely be able to source one, or 2) if you do, will pay through the nose.

That out of the way, if you find you are not wearing it, sure move it on. Many here will advise against it, and there is a financial argument to be made for that. Certainly, at least trading for another rolex because if you tire of the omega'ss you will not get your $$ back.

If im going Omega, I would go speedmaster pro moonwatch and perhaps a GS snowflake. Both would be quite versatile.

[doboy007]

You asked the wrong forum, haha. I do like the white dial 300M w/ rubber strap but as others have said, try to add them instead of trading. But you do you.

[VogelPhoenix]

I like Omega and own several, and still wouldn't do that trade. I'd try to add a lightly used green dial Aqua Terra (which is very nice, IMO, and would make an awesome pair with the Sub).

[pathmeister]

My everyday watch is also a Submariner (black), and I would never trade it for two Omegas, regardless of model. Seems to be on overwhelming majority opinion here so far.

[rolexperfect]

I’m just not an Omega guy to be honest. Had one and sold it long time ago. If trading, I’d trade to something better, or go one level up to AP, Patek or, more affordable than those two these days, VC.

[carfanatic991]

Add the aqua terra and keep the sub. You’ll regret selling the Sub if you sell it.
