Another would you thread!!!

Would you trade a bluesy sub, in great condition for a 20 year old watch by the way, and a Pepsi gmt 16700, same condition, for either a Hulk, or a new blue/black Gmt? I would have to add roughly $1k as well.
My AD has both in stock.
What do the experts think, good deal or not?? And which would you choose. I have another sub and a Dssd as well.
Please advise.
Thanks

Wow, I had to reread the question a couple of times. But no, I wouldn't do the trade either.

You would be getting the short end of the deal.

Don't let go of that 16700. Or that bluesy. I like both of those better than the Hulk or blnr!

If you want the other two more than the two you have and would wear and enjoy them more then I say go for it.

He would trade two watches and 1k for one watch. Either the blnr or hulk, as I understand it. No!

No frigging way. A Hulk or GMT for the other two - yes.

I know I wouldn't but if you prefer to have a LVc or a BLNR then, by all means, go for it. I personally much prefer the blue Submariner (especially with its aluminum bezel insert) and a Pepsi GMT but that's just me.

Your getting screwed. Cash had better be coming rather than going in this deal.

I'm sure If he really wanted either the hulk or gmt he could do better by contacting one of the trusted sellers to make a trade?

I know one of the trusted dealers would treat you better than your average AD. They never give what pre owned rolex watches are worth. At least the trusted dealers here will give you ttue wholesale value - or pretty close to it.

Definitely not, but what I would do is kick the ad in the coin purse (given it was a man and the ad made the offer) for proposing such a sorry ass deal...

The new ceramics have a lot of upgrades so if that appeals to you now more than what you currently have then do it, just make sure you get good prices for all.
