116610LV for YM II 116680

Hi everyone! Just picked up a hulk yesterday and I'm thinking of trading it for a used YMII SS pre-Basel. If I could find someone to do the trade with, how much would I have to add?

In other words, what is the trade value of a BNIB Hulk with stickers?

Sorry, I would hold on the LV. This is not the time to be flipping it. If you're bound and determined to, at least wait until the spring to see if the LV tap gets turned again or not.

And...although I'm one of the biggest YM2 fans on the forum and this pains me to say, it's resale value is very soft. So...if you do the trade now then that's a double kick in the shorts.

Agree with Larry, I'd hold on to it, if it is discoed you might regret it, keep your options open, YM2 will always be there.

Do it the YMII is way better looking than the hulk and more prestigious

I do prefer the YMII, I'm just thinking if I'm better off keeping the Hulk for a few more months, incase it does get discontinued, so I can get more money for it and potentially do a straight up trade to a used YMII...

Any specific reason as to why? Or are you just a fan of the Hulk?

I'm not really a big fan of it... I had originally bought for a friend because the price was amazing and I know he was looking for one, but now he isn't sure if he wants it.

I would be going for a pre-owned one in the 12-13K USD region

Heck, I'll take it off your hands if you're looking to get rid of it.

I have a YM2 SS pre-basel.

I'm a big guy. The Hulk would look small on my wrists. I'd probably end up flipping it down the road for something bigger.

I had a BLNR 3 years ago and that's what happened. It was small on my wrists. I was told it looked small on my wrists. So I flipped it and bought the YM2 with the proceeds.

I meant more from a rare watch POV not a financial one, if you really prefer the YM2 then might as well sell the LVc soon, as price can't climb that much higher that a reseller will actually buy in for.

I don't have a Hulk. I sold my Dayona to buy a 116680. No regrets.

Really depends on which do you like it better. If LVC you don't wear often and like yachtmaster more, than I'll say yachtmaster.

Personally I love and own LVC, I wouldn't let it go for other Rolex.
