opinions? to feed my Rolex addiction

Ok here is the deal... ive got a Breitling for Bentley 6.75 that i have not worn in ages due to enjoying my Rolexs and Panerai more then the "BLING" of the B4B.....
i have found a local dealer with a 116610lv "Hulk" in mint condition complete set dated 2011....
He is willing to trade my B4B + $4600usd his way for the hulk..........
Keeping in mind my B4B is 10 years old and i just dont wear it...........

thoughts?
** i advertised the breitling for ages and couldnt get a bite on it.. i think the BIG bling watch phase is over and just not as desirable anymore which is killing the prices of them

im using you guys as my conscience as i have no self control to impulse purchases lol!

I'm a fellow Aussie but here in the states!

I also purchased a Bentley years ago. I love it but due to the loss in value I've determined I will be buried in it or left for a child.

I think that deal sounds reasonable. I would say you are good to go!

yeah im working in Malaysia and over here you cannot give anything away bigger then 42mm(generally the local gents are a bit smaller then us Aussies) so my option is to send it home and get someone to sell it back there for me....

for the stuffing around for a 10 year old watch prob isnt worth the headache.... and ive been watching the price on ebay and gumtree and the price on them has dropped a fair bit in the last 2 years.... i know you can go into a Breitling store and get a decent discount on a brand new straight off the bat now

Get the Hulk mate. The deal seems decent, I can't see your Breitling rebounding in price, so flip the bugger and get the Hulk.

Smash it mate, smash it.

Hell yeah, sell the thing and get the LV. Sounds like you're not wearing the breitling anymore, so let it go to a loving home and you can enjoy a new green Sub.

Get the Hulk! If you don't wear the Breitling, I'd contend that it has no value to you. If you trade it in, you get some value out of it.

You want the hulk... just go for it... be happy with what you want to wear... life is too short to have watches sitting in your sock drawer... trade up and move on.
cheers
