Would you - trade a SubC Date for a BLNR??

I currently have in my Rolex line up:
SubC
SubC Date
SDC 4000
SD P serial
Sub 14060m
Explorer II Polar 42mm

Would you make this trade - I would have to add some cash to the deal.

Please give me some advice on this one.

Thanks
Joe

I would. You have a good array of divers that look similar, yet different. But you will add a great looking GMT. Also consider if you are taking a hit on the subc date and if you are comfortable with that. If you feel you got good mileage on it, go for it!

Yup-no question and no hesitation. It would add a new element to your collection.

I would sell the Sub C, add funds and get the BLNR.

Yes, without a doubt. For my tastes, you have a bit of redundancy with black divers and could use a little variety with the added bonus of GMT functionality

Because you have 2 Subs, yes. If it were me, I would get rid of the no-date and keep the date, but that's just me.

I would do it, for all the same reasons stated above. Plus it would add color to your life!

I agree. I'm lost without the date function.

If it had been posted at the Rolex general discussion you'd get more opinions.

If I could keep the bracelet from the SubC on the BLNR, I would trade. If not, I'm keeping the Sub.

Yeah i would. No need for a subc date and subc ND in the same collection. Might as well get a BLNR.

That is a big drawback for me - I'm not a fan of the polished center links.

In a vacuum, no. With your current line up, yes.

I would do the same. Trade SubC instead of SubC date.

Not personally a fan of the BLNR, but based on your collection - absolutely. Good move.

Yes absolutely. Your collection is flush with divers and in need of a gmt

I'd do the trade based on your current collection already having a Sub and a SD4k.

I did that and am very , very happy with the Blnr. It's lighter and sits lower and has a GMT hand that doesn't dominate the dial. What a watch!
