If it's value, appreciation etc... you're thinking... The LV is a modern collectible in the making in which hasn't appreciated THAT much YET meaning it "should" only increase in value over the years... the Red Sub is already a collectible with a HUGE premium as it has already appreciated over 10 x's it's original value... so not sure if it will appreciate more or not...Whatever the case... both AWESOME watches.. just go with your gut feelings... afterall you will be the one wearing it~

Not for me. Keep the LV and move the other toward something different. There is a hig world of watches out there.

997.2 · 19 April 2015, 12:57 AM

No

forgedblades · 19 April 2015, 01:23 AM

Buy the red, sell the other 2. I would think you would come out better in the end. I had a red once and considered the same thing. Wish I would have done it but I know I would miss my LV for sure.

Rags · 19 April 2015, 01:26 AM

No, as much as I like the 1680 that is a bit much especially if down the road & you have buyers remorse.

Afghanvet · 19 April 2015, 01:27 AM

Great thoughts folks... appreciate it. I need to sleep on it. Will keep you posted! Thanks for your input!

Loevhagen · 20 April 2015, 03:54 AM

Tough decision - but I'll vote trade.

Mirx · 20 April 2015, 05:02 AM

I do not yet own a vintage Rolex and love the Red Sub so, yeah, I would definitely go for it.

soundserious · 20 April 2015, 06:05 AM

Nope, too many fake reds out there.

WS9D · 20 April 2015, 06:14 AM

I wouldn't. Like someone else said, too many boxes to check off.

RHIII · 20 April 2015, 06:56 AM

That's a tough one....I usually always say...if it's what YOU want...then go for it!!!

Full set - red Sub - is a unique find. And a gorgeous piece.

I have a tough time trading two for one...(and I have done it before) lol. But like I said - if it's what you want...there's your answer.

Personally I wouldn't.If I traded for a red sub,I know I would end up babying it.Rather have something I can wear and not worry too much about scratches dings etc incase it affected its future value.

fishingbear · 20 April 2015, 07:51 AM

Nope. Wouldn't trade that 16610LV.

AK797 · 20 April 2015, 08:52 AM

Red for the romantic.

This is a huge concern.

AJMarcus · 20 April 2015, 11:02 AM

I wouldn't do it . Two for one is almost never a good deal

Jannal · 20 April 2015, 11:34 AM

I would of thought the 2 watches are worth more than a single watch?

This.

redsubby · 20 April 2015, 03:15 PM

Had two red subs before, wish I still had them...
with box/papers are hard to find, I'd do the deal if everything checks out.

Angrypuppy · 20 April 2015, 03:35 PM

Is the 16610lv a Y serial of early F?

If so I deffianyley wouldn't. Otherwise maybe.
