I posted this in the Rolex Forum, but I thought I might get different analysis here. I may have an opportunity to trade my 2009 Rolex Milgauss white dial for a 2011 JLC Grande Reverso GMT in stainless steel (Reference 240.8.18). Both watches have box and papers. I would be interested on thoughts on this proposed trade. Thanks.

Witch one you like more, no money or investment involved ?

Dsmith1974 · 7 August 2021, 06:06 PM

Yeah. I’d do that trade. Especially if you war a suit once in a while.

Is there a reason to do this, other than boredom?

I'm still negotiating. I'm thinking the deal would need to be even or a little money my way.

I've had two JLC watches in the past. I really like the brand. Having said that, I always seem to want to shake things up this time of year. I don't know why.

Both great pieces so you can’t go wrong with either! Follow your gut!

I did a similar trade. Different watches, but JLC suited me better.

scarlet knight · 8 August 2021, 11:58 PM

I would do it. Do you have any other Rolexes?

Brny11 · 9 August 2021, 12:42 AM

What is in your collection? I personally dont appreciate the milgauss as much as others and I absolutely love JLC reverso. Easy trade for me. However, as a one and only, I’m sticking with the Rolex as it is way more versatile.

For these two models, I like JLC a lot better than Rolex.

If you like it, go for it.

Really interesting to see the love and popularity for the Reverso. Definitely not a fan personally. I'm sure their needs to be more cash coming your way if your Mil is complete.

TimeAZ · 9 August 2021, 04:55 AM

I would not. That particular JLC gmt dial is just too busy, awkward, and clunky.

The Milgauss is my only current Rolex.

My current collection consists of the Milgauss, a Patek Philippe Neptune 5080 and a 100 year old Hamilton Piping Rock. I also have a quartz Montblanc and a quartz Shinola.
