Trade - bad deal

16710 Pepsi + 16750 Polar EXP2 trade for a 126710 blnr jubilee brand new. Would you do it or is it a bad deal?

Both ny watches full set and in great condition…

I'll be the first to say I don't know much about older models' trade values. However, I wouldn't do it on the principle of trading two steel watches for another steel watch.

I wouldn't do it. I think you'd regret the trade in the long run.

Jeez definitely no, if they’re in good condition they would be worth as much individually as a BLNR, utter madness

I’d go for the one with the most idiotic nickname and never utter it again! Also, take Brandreas advice!!

That's the ideal scenario, however...

if that's not possible, then maybe just one of the Pepsi's? You'd be left with the best of both worlds, IMO.

Agreed, two for one just seems like a bad idea from a pure wis point of view

I think one is a Pepsi and one is and explorer. I guess it comes down to trade the one he likes the least if necessary.

Is batgirl jubilee redundant? Hard to keep up with it all.

I don’t know what your local prices are like but in the uk, you’d be giving away about half the polar in value to do the trade.

I suppose that’s the dealer’s margin but I’d much rather have the two you already own - Modern classics and will become harder to find in good condition.

I wouldn't. Maybe trade one of the 5 digits plus cash for the BLNR?

What year are these watches? I would keep one and trade in the other with some cash.

No no no… you’ve got two beautiful classics. The BLNR is a great piece but it’s still in circulation and you can possibly get that at the AD without having to trade both. One of your watches would buy it assuming in good condition etc (definitely the Pepsi, may have to add a bit of cash if you sold the explorer).

Maybe the OP doesn’t want 3 GMT watches?

Trade the Pepsi plus cash, or the polar plus cash. Giving up both is insane!

This is DUMB.

I don’t know what condition the 16710 is in (why not pics?) but unless this
GMT Master II and Explorer are somehow compromised, this is a completely asymmetrical trade.

This appears to be a completely emotional trade. Wait 2 weeks first.

Jeeze

Also - go to an AD that sells certified Rolex. Get what you paid for with your watches and get the BLNR at retail. The trade-in should help your chances.

I say bad deal. 16710 full set in great condition worth ~$12,000. 16750 full set in great condition ~$8,000. Batgirl ~$15,000. I've got both the 16710 and the 16750 and love them both and wouldn't trade either. Wear both and wait for the batgirl and buy it at retail if you have to have it.

Thank you all for your input. Should say that there was a typo in the post - 16570 is the EXP 2 ref number....

One five digit model beats one 6 digit model - let alone two five digit models.

Not a chance. I'd simply upgrade to 6-digit bracelet on the Pepsi

Don't be daft

The 16710 full set is worth 9k minimum and you can buy a batgirl for 12k?

You are pricing your explorer at 3k!
