I mentioned the fact that I find the normal Sub to be an attention-seeking piece already and I would expect a Smurf to be increasingly so.

I vote no since I feel you're giving up 3 really nice pieces. Of course my decision is based on the fact that I am not a fan of WG, nor the blue dial. For PM I prefer YG and in fact did trade up to a YG Sub black dial. It's not that the deal is bad, but I not drawn to the 116619LB nor the ridiculous nickname.

ilovethiscity · 16 April 2020, 01:38 AM

You know what as you have the other two I think this is 100% a great way to go! Usually these threads can be a bit of a 3 for 1 type deal and that’s it. You have the other two amazing watches now you’ll have them and a grail. Go for it!!!!

WCHROLX · 16 April 2020, 01:41 AM

Definitely yes

KBM · 16 April 2020, 01:47 AM

With the pieces you still would have left in the collection, it's a resounding YES from me.

Harry-57 · 16 April 2020, 01:49 AM

Yes.

2nastie · 16 April 2020, 01:50 AM

Absolutely no doubt if that's the only pieces being swapped. Looks like a good deal to me.

mykii · 16 April 2020, 01:54 AM

I'd do the trade; less is more!

Pongster · 16 April 2020, 01:56 AM

As a smurf owner myself, i would do the trade. It’s special.

But it’s LB (Lunette Bleu) instead of LN (Lunette Noir).

RichM · 16 April 2020, 02:31 AM

Yes Sir, I would make that trade, but I’m bias.

LuminousMaximus · 16 April 2020, 02:37 AM

You have to do it! The possibility that you may love the Smurf so much, like so many others have, that you can not, not obtain it somehow whether it's a trade or purchase outright.

Go for it before someone buys it...!

johnjm · 16 April 2020, 02:38 AM

Yes, I would.

100% I would. I traded my BLNR plus cash for my smurf and have not regretted it. I have Hulk as well but didn't want to trade that for sentimental reasons - otherwise I would have and reduce the cash outlay.

However -and please don't take it badly- your point is easily disqualified, as I would end up with... a GMT and a Sub (2x actually)

already sounds like you have made your mind up!

Same here.

OP, Yes. It’s a ‘go’!

Just do it

jaychief · 16 April 2020, 03:40 AM

Yes defo, great looking watch!!

joli160 · 16 April 2020, 03:56 AM

illiguy · 16 April 2020, 04:11 AM

Ghost410 · 16 April 2020, 05:54 AM

The general public will have no idea that Smurf is PM or its cost. If you are comfortable wearing SS Sub, then Smurf shouldn't be a problem.

Calatrava r · 16 April 2020, 06:05 AM

Numbers are okay to me. Do it if you want the PM.

Bladeshot · 16 April 2020, 08:43 AM

Yes. Do it! The numbers are fair.
Mine is a wonderful piece and I always enjoy it! Like you said, you will still have a 5-digit GMT and the PM sub. Cornerstones of any collection.

Old Geezer · 16 April 2020, 10:21 AM

I would do the trade but not for a used smurf. I'd go new if I were seriously looking at this trade.

I sold my 2014 116710BLNR in 2017. I’m not embarrassed to say, I regret it every day. I’m lucky enough to own a Ceramic Daytona, which eases the pain, but I still miss the GMT.

Boaters · 16 April 2020, 10:38 AM

I would go for it PM all the way
