Wow thanks guys and to be honest I wasn't expecting any different as the Smurf is very loved by Rolex collectors. I love it too but having 2 gorgeous WG watches isn't an option for me at the moment. I think I will have to try the Sky Dweller on again and see if it sings as loud as it did last time it was on my wrist and then make the call.
I'm just intriged by the complex movement of the Sky Dweller and when I saw it in the wild on for the 1st time the other day it looked awesome and triggered naughty ideas in my head.. Haha.

As a pilot, you really need a YG GMT Andy.

As you said, try it again. But I personally would not sell both. Maybe keep the GMTII and trade the smurf. Or Trade the GMTII for a YG one. Lol

Since you would still have the 116610LV, I say yes!
Would make a great pair!

I'd keep the TT GMT and dump the sub- I'd swap WG models.

If it were me I wouldn't do the trade. However, if you absolutely must have the Sky-Dweller then I would trade in only the WG Sub plus cash.

I wouldn't trade for it. You have two awesome watches already that I know you will miss once they are gone.

Save up for the SD, it will mean more.

Hi Andy, I love all three watches in question so I'd like to hang on to the TT GMTIIc if possible. So that leaves you with two watches instead of one after the trade.
