I feel like that's a little much for my liking. I also think many on here would say they prefer the Explorer I to the II. If you continue to yearn for the Exp.II then do it.

While I like all three of those watches, I think that would be a horrible trade unless you simply don't wear either the Explorer or the Black Bay...

its close but you could ask for an extra $500 back based on current resales. imho, just make sure its a local trade or you know the other party well. i personally avoid mail trades. good luck!

Trade value is close in my mind; if the EXP II is what you truly want ~ do it. As CJC said above, try to get a little $ on the backside. good luck...

Hi, assuming that condition is equal across all 3 pieces, you are probably giving away some value.
Alternatively, you may want to consider only giving up one of your watches and adding some cash to make up the difference. Last, I do agree that the Exp39 is a great watch and does not get the respect it deserves. Either way, good luck! |

Funny I am in a simular situation. I have been offer a trade for my 2010 exp 1 39mm for a 2012 exp 2 new shape plus £500 cash. I think your getting a bad deal to be honest.

Nope, keep the Exp 1, and maybe sell the BB and add cash if you really want a 2.

I wouldn't do that trade any day of the week, I think the explorer 1 looks much better, plus it might be a classic soon and I can't see the explorer 2 becoming that any time soon!

I wouldn't make that trade myself. I like the Explorer 39 a lot.

Not a sensible trade, imo.
