Ok guys need some advice....

I have these 2 I'm willing to part with

16613 Bluesy Sub
Gmt2c

Sell these two to pick up plus or minus another $6k

16618 Gold Sub Blue Dial

That would leave me with a 1680 a 16710 Pepsi and 16618 I just have a crazy itch for a solid gold Sub and at this moment in time would not want to come out of pocket more than $6k (it started at $3k lol) what do you guys think

On one hand I love my GMT2c and I love Bluesy but man that all yellow is calling me... Some days Bluesy scratches the itch but somedays I'm still wanting lol

Rolex_Collector · 18 February 2014, 02:10 PM

Sell these two plus about $6k to pick up^

Chewbacca · 18 February 2014, 02:16 PM

used 16618 prices are a little rich right now but your math seems right.

i wouldn't however.

kilyung · 18 February 2014, 02:16 PM

Should only cost an added $3k not $6k depending on conditions/age. I'd do it.

coralfarmer84 · 18 February 2014, 02:27 PM

I'd do it if the numbers make sense

Rolex_Collector · 18 February 2014, 02:28 PM

Mike I agree $3k is possible however I would want one super perfect I don't want to be replacing one of these bracelets anytime soon. All the "safequeen" or newer ones I have seen have been in the area of $17-$19k. I have seen some in the $15-$16k range but I have been sceptical.

dsturner83 · 18 February 2014, 02:30 PM

I think the math works about 15-18

omitohud · 18 February 2014, 02:32 PM

I love wearing my 1680/8, its such a presence on my wrist. I would do it if the price is right.

Rolex_Collector · 18 February 2014, 02:34 PM

Yes $15-$18k my range

And yes the presence thing ughhhhh

kilyung · 18 February 2014, 02:42 PM

In that range, I'd save a little longer for an 116618 or 116718

omitohud · 18 February 2014, 02:48 PM

Not the best picture, but you get the idea. Currently on Zulu, but with the gold bracelet, that thing is awesome.

Cru Jones · 18 February 2014, 03:47 PM

Depends on how much you want all YG. The four watches you have now is a great mix.

+1. The new ceramics with all the upgrades are worth the extra $$ IMO.

Baco Noir · 18 February 2014, 04:03 PM

I've sold 3 and added cash for 1. It's all about how much you like the ones you are thinking of flipping and how badly you want the one you are chasing. Made sense for me and I'm still very happy I did it.

luvsub · 18 February 2014, 05:27 PM

Yes, go for gold.

jolimont · 18 February 2014, 05:42 PM

i would do that deal

do it

polarinda · 18 February 2014, 07:37 PM

Yes i would too

If the ones that are being sold were not on your wrist often, then the choice is clear. Go for it!

watchwatcher · 18 February 2014, 10:21 PM

I'm with Mike on this one. I wouldn't let go of those two and that amount of cash for the pre-ceramic model. A 618 or 718...oh yes.

Lgear080 · 18 February 2014, 11:27 PM

It all comes down to condition.

Post pics of the 16618 you're considering.

As it stands you're paying retail, but the deal
Depends on condition of all watches concerned.

Cc1966 · 18 February 2014, 11:30 PM

Going for $18-20K (when you can find them) in my neck of the woods. So I say your $18,000 will cover one. Good luck....

beshannon · 18 February 2014, 11:32 PM

If you want gold then buy gold.

I would not trade those two watches plus enough cash to buy a third just for one gold watch.

1proscoe · 18 February 2014, 11:39 PM

I'm looking at giving up 3 plus cash for 1.... So whatever it is you seek or feel you would enjoy - do it.
