Odd thought
I have a black sub and a black gmt

Pondering caving to the grey side and trading the sub plus cash for a Pepsi.


Monetary issues aside what do you think? I’d have BLNR, LVC, GMT LN and the BLRO

Not a bad idea. If u do it I would suggest the MK1 dial. More fun... the mk2 is too dark. Too serious./

Like Bas said, sell the GMT you have, because it will command more and you will still have a sub and a GMT, instead of 2 GMTs

I would sell the BLNR or GMT LN. Those two are too similar in my opinion.

With that combo, you sound like a FOMO collector to me.

So you’d have 3 GMTs and 1 Sub...if that’s what you’re looking for go for it, I’d diversify to something else. Sure there are folks with a collection of purely GMTs but I’d look at swapping another watch + cash for the BLRO.

So I have a BLNR, a BLRO and recently got a 16710. And now honestly realized how versatile it is, owning three looks (coke, Pepsi, black) for the price of one watch!

Having said that, I wouldn’t get rid of any of them! But something for you to consider as you want to add watches

Sell your current GMT and add the BLRO.

Strange but true: giant grey is offering the same trade value for each and it’s five digits

This makes more sense to me. But are there no other models you want, seems all a bit of the obvious ones.

Maybe, but I understand the use of the apostrophe

+2. I don’t understand having 3 GMTs, let alone 3 ceramic GMTs.

I'd keep the Sub and move something else. To me the Sub is the staple of my collection.

Sounds like you have a thing for GMTs, especially since you are also considering the CHNR, so I would go for it. And yeah, like Fat ninja said, get the MK I Pepsi.
