Would you - trade a SubC Date for a BLNR??
I currently have in my Rolex line up:
SubC SubC Date SDC 4000 SD P serial Sub 14060m Explorer II Polar 42mm Would you make this trade - I would have to add some cash to the deal. Please give me some advice on this one. Thanks Joe

I would. You have a good array of divers that look similar, yet different. But you will add a great looking GMT. Also consider if you are taking a hit on the subc date and if you are comfortable with that. If you feel you got good mileage on it, go for it!

No I wouldn't, but that's no surprise for you.

Yup-no question and no hesitation. It would add a new element to your collection.

I would sell the Sub C, add funds and get the BLNR.

Yes, without a doubt. For my tastes, you have a bit of redundancy with black divers and could use a little variety with the added bonus of GMT functionality

Because you have 2 Subs, yes. If it were me, I would get rid of the no-date and keep the date, but that's just me.

I would do it, for all the same reasons stated above. Plus it would add color to your life!

If it had been posted at the Rolex general discussion you'd get more opinions.

If I could keep the bracelet from the SubC on the BLNR, I would trade. If not, I'm keeping the Sub.

Yeah i would. No need for a subc date and subc ND in the same collection. Might as well get a BLNR.

That is a big drawback for me - I'm not a fan of the polished center links.

In a vacuum, no. With your current line up, yes.

Not personally a fan of the BLNR, but based on your collection - absolutely. Good move.

Absolutely. It'll round out your collection nicely.

Yes absolutely. Your collection is flush with divers and in need of a gmt

I'd do the trade based on your current collection already having a Sub and a SD4k.

I did that and am very , very happy with the Blnr. It's lighter and sits lower and has a GMT hand that doesn't dominate the dial. What a watch!
