That deal makes no sense to me. Could you tell us why you’re considering it?

It’s a bit heavy for me to wear.

Would not do it if even they were giving you money in the trade. No way.

NOS and complete 16710 that's nice? I might possibly do that deal...but it depends on the 16710 set we're talking about (year/make, completeness of set). can always buy another BLNR on jubilee as that's just released.

True NOS? Full set? My answer is a big fat YES.
These are almost impossible to come by.

If the 16710 is truly NOS and complete set ................... ABSOLUTELY !

BLNR’s are fad watches, the 16710 is a classic that will continue to be desirable for many years.

Absolutely. The 16710 is the better watch, more proportioned, more subdued, classic tool watch.

No, not even as straight up trade. Vintage is overrated.

Let’s do the math!

BLNR sells now for around $14k + 2500= 16,5k (roughly)

A NOS 16710 goes way more than that! So money wise makes sense
The important question is which watch do you like more??

Your BLNR is far more rare than his 16710. They made hundreds of thousands of those. People paying insane money for them are who PT Barnum was talking about.

What’s your source that there are more 16710 made than the BLNR?

I wouldn't do the deal if you were planning on wearing the watch as it will no longer be NOS once you do.

I wouldn’t do it, I would trade the BLNR for a lightly used Coke or Pepsi no cash, or get cash in return. No need for BNIB if you are ever going to wear it IMO.

16710 production period: 1989-2007

116710BLNR production period: 2013-2019

Definitely many more 16710’s produced than 116710BLNR based off production periods. 18 years compared to 6 years.

The BLNR is now discontinued as well. Don't let that be your deciding factor. If you love the watch more, do a straight trade or trade for a used one and get some cash. NOS is only good if you're going to flip or if you want to put your own beauty marks on it. Hope that helps.

You can’t be serious? The 16710 had a near 19 year production run

I would ask why you want a 16710. If it’s just because it’s NOS then no. Me, I wouldn’t do it.
