I wouldn't based on the watches you have listed in your signature, and you already have a PM Sub. Hulk and BLNR are more versatile and you would lose your GMT.

I wouldn't, you've got 116618LB already........hulk and batman are a great SS duo that you can wear for many different occasions whether dressing up or dressing down

Since you got a 116618LB I wouldnt for a Smurf. What you have is nicer than the smurf in my eyes.

BUT....if it was for a DD40, RG Skydweller or a 116718 with green dial absolutely in a heart beat I would do that trade.

I liked the idea of the Smurf because it looks similar to the steel pieces but is an upgrade in terms of it being PM. So you kind of get the best of both worlds I guess. The 116718 is an interesting idea.

The 116719 is a better option IMO

116500, 116618, 116719. Daytona, Submariner & GMT Matser.

Thinking about it, the only option to really consider is swapping them for the 116719BLRO as Jay Kay mentioned. That way youd have Sub, GMT and Daytona - all pieces you dont see often out in the wild...

I wouldn't, but I'm not you. Do what your heart tells you.

I love the Smurf. If I could afford one I wouldn't hesitate. If I sold a part of my collection I could afford one. But most of my watches commemorate something. Their sentimental value is too great.

While I will keep building my collection as and when, I don't sell or exchange. My children and grandchildren will get the lot. But again, that's just me.

I'd go for the WG BLRO in your case.

Go for it - you got some really nice other watches in your collection and the Smurf would complement those.

If both are fine than the smurf is an awesome Rolex. I bought it 2wice but it wasn't comfortable enough for my thin, no-fat wrists...

It was one watch I remember getting a compliment on.

Why are you still reading this, and not trading??

Ohhh I'm so torn. My options are:
1) Sell Batman & Hulk and buy Smurf
2) Sell Batman & Hulk and buy WG BLRO (will need more money from me to top up)
3) Keep the two steels as I might actually make money on them and easier to liquidate if need be

Man, that is a tough, tough question. I own both and I truly don’t know what I would do. I’ll be following this thread closely, for sure!

I'm going to vote no, based on your current lineup.

You'd miss those two and the versatility they bring!
