16660-1982 SD for a 116610LV-2011(Green) Submariner?

Just bought 2 weeks ago a green submariner, but a friend of mine would like to change it for his SD-"triplesix" from 1982. Schould i change or not ? Thanks for any opinion.

Your friend's triple six does not seem to be in such a good shape. And it has not a mat dial with painted markers, so do not swap.

Your Submariner, pre-owned, is an $8000 watch. His SeaDweller is not worth $8,000 so this would be a very bad trade for you. I agree with the others here, keep the Submariner!
