Trade polar-ND vs 126600 question

[crazymcmichael]

If i would trade in my 114060 from 2017+ a 2018 216570 polar for a new 126600, how much returning cash should i aim for??

If i would trade in my 2017 submariner and pay extra cash for a new 126600 how much should i look for?? Probably it would be a bad move that i won't do anyway….

Any advice of you guys?

Trading two great watches that are comfortable to wear, for one watch that is big and heavy and uncomfortable ?

Not a good idea.

Keep the ones you have, they are more subtle.. and they are TWO different dials!!

I had the 126600, and sold it after 2 weeks... Very heavy and big.. and the Cyclops was very ugly and out of place.

Oh i know the itch very well lol.

But trust me, it isn't a good idea... If anything, sell your sub, save a little, and then get yourself and SD4K.

I tell you, the Sea Dweller 4000 is the best watch Rolex made... Size is great, comfortable, built like a rock. And it doesn't exist anymore lol.

Imo the 43 is cooler ( sorry

[crazymcmichael]

but yes,, it also is a cool watch… But not much of a different compared to the ND to me...

[Jack T]

“It doesn’t exist anymore “...reason enough for me to keep it.

Look at the asking prices for the watches you are moving from the TS and subtract 5-8% for what you will get on a trade. Look at the asking prices on the watch you want and knock of a few hundred dollars. That will be the difference.

Steve McQueen says keep the ND Sub!

Your opinion.

My opinion: I don't find the watch uncomfortable...or "very heavy" or "big." I've worn bigger and heavier. In my opinion, this watch is about middle of the road these days. As far as "out of place, IMO the cyclops is in the right place. Over the date window.

OP: if this is what you want to do, OK. But, I wouldn't trade both watches for it. Keep the polar for a little diversity, dial color, and the GMT function.

[crazymcmichael]

I really dont know if this is wat i want lol.. Serious The itch bothers me

[Nairn1980]

It would be a no from me.

[crazymcmichael]

I realize it aint a smart move indeed i must try to deny this itch!

[brandrea]

I figure that whenever someone is considering a trade like this, it’s usually inevitable.

[crazymcmichael]

It is a difficult thing at least lol

[psv]

I wouldn't do it.

[t65tampa]

I would not trade both of those watches in for the 126600. Maybe trade the ND Submariner in towards it, as it looks similar. The 42 mm Explorer II is a pretty darn useful watch.

[crazymcmichael]

yes i surely think i will regret it later on so i need to try to not do this.

[Rocket launcher]

Sell sub save buy SD
Keep exp

The things we put ourself through lol .

Ultimately only you can decide. The SD43 is, on every level, in my humble opinion, better than the 114060. But I’d keep the Polar - it’s a fantastic watch

My view is trade he sub and try the SD43. You can always pick up another sub if it doesn’t work for you with it too much financial pain.

My SD43 is as, if not more, comfortable than my Sub C was. And much better proportioned. You gave yours only 2 weeks. That certainly doesn’t make your opinion any more valid than anyone else’s.

I appreciate it’s not for everyone (no watch is) but you speak of the SD43 as if it’s some kind of abject failure in the line up.

I know we like pics on here so here’s a picture of my big, heavy, uncomfortable watch on my relatively small wrist.

Hint. Only one of those adjectives is true

Lol.. yes it's over the date window. What i mean is, the dial didn't seem to grow with the watch, from 40 to 43, the bezel just became thicker... Small dial, thick bezel, with Cyclops, made it a bit uneven for me. That's why i got the SD4K. Better for my wrist too.

Opinions are nice but it is you that needs to make this choice. I say go with your heart.

[The Libertine]

Not a trade that I would consider.

Well, 2 weeks on my wrist for 24 hours is enough i believe. For me, it was a pretty hefty watch. Not just because of the size, but the bracelet was wider too. Not as top heavy as the Deep-sea, but definitely has it's presence on your wrist. The bezel, IMO, was too wide, giving the dial a smaller feel, and a shinier look due its greater surface area (which isn't for me).

The SD43 is certainly not a failure. Or else it wouldn't have been off the shelves so fast. But for me, the exp ii is as big a watch that I want on my wrist. Plus, i love the Sea Dwellers history, and the course it took. It has always remained the same watch across the years, so changing it's size suddenly distorted the relation it has with it's fans. Well, me at least lol.

OP .. how do you feel about bigger watches ?

Haha... That's definitely not a small wrist... What other watches are in your collection ?

I would either: 1. Sell the ND and get the SD. Or 2. Sell the ND and get a sub date. Agreed with others, not a good idea to get rid of both for something you may or may not like.
