Another Would You?

[P1nky_Up]

Tried on a Rhodium dial Yacht-Master and loved it, the slimmer case was a nice touch compared to the Subs and GMT2s.

With what I currently have, I was thinking of getting rid of one of my GMT2s and getting the Yacht-Master to mix it up.

Would you:

Trade new batman for it straight and ask to see if they could source you another batman or pepsi later this year?

OR

Trade TT Rootbeer and get a couple grand back?

[nightmyth]

I would rather keep the GMT but that’s just me

[MattyL147]

I wouldn't do either. I feel like you're just looking for a change; this trade has remorse written all over it.

[Ravager135]

I personally don't see a need for two GMT-Master IIs, but that's just me. Some people, that's all they collect. I'd trade whichever GMT I cared less about and add the Yachtmaster. You'd have more variety that way. That's just how I collect; it doesn't mean it's the only way.

I would keep the TT CHNR and add in the Yacht master. Nice mix verses two GMT II models. Rhodium YM is a great looking watch!

[Harry-57]

I would keep the CHNR. I can't tell you what's best for you. It's your collection and you should configure it as you see fit.

The YM doesn't interest me because I have a Sub Date. Well, actually I have two 1166 Sub Dates, which just goes to show how difficult to manage this illness is. Mable a YM with one of my Sub Dates would have given me a more diverse and interesting collection?

We're all different. Do what appeals to you and be happy.

Isn't a used BLNR worth a lot more than a new YM? You should at the very least try to sell it yourself.

Hassle? Yes. Is the hassle worth a few thousand dollars? Yes (to me, anyway).

[myssjeep]

I did this. And am on waitlist for the BLNR. Love the yacht master but miss the blnr. Did end up a few grand ahead.

I wouldn’t do it again.

If you have the watches in your signature, then you already a nice collection and you have plenty of watches on a steel bracelet. If you like the size of the 40mm Yachtmaster, I would suggest 126555. That's 40mm black dial and bezel, everose gold, on Oysterflex. So add another everose watch, and something on Oysterflex. My.02

I wouldn't get rid of the Batman. I've said it before here. It's an OG. The first of its kind if several ways. Wear it and enjoy it.

[train-time]

The 40 mm YM has a case and bracelet very similar to a Daytona. The bracelet attaches to the case in a similar manner. The Daytona is my most comfortable watch to wear and I would suspect that the YM would wear similarly. I actually tried a Steel and RG one a few months back and almost pulled the trigger on it because of the similarity to the case design and bracelet.

If you cannot wait and must have it now, I recommend trading BLNR.

[RTG]

Dark Rhodium dial with ice blue text is gorgeous. Personally it sounds like a great plan. I would only trade if the new watch will get more wrist time than the old watch. Only you know that.

[brandrea]

BLNR, with maybe some money coming back to you...

I’d contact one of the trusted sellers here to see if they can work out a deal.

[georgekart]

I'd keep the CHNR and get rid of the BLNR, but straight trade doesn't seem like a good deal.

[alphadweller]

I would trade the rootbeer, not too sure about the colour combination. The YM rhodium dial is far more attractive to me. I'd keep the Batman for sure, 100%. I would only let the BLNR go if a BLRO shows up down the road.

[Rori]

It's a beautiful watch but I wouldn't trade a batman nor a rootbeer for it unless the pay extra cash for both of your GMTs not only the rootbeer.

I'd keep the Batman and trade the Chnr. Of course I'm biased being a Blnr owner and can't do TT.

No ******* way

[tbk]

It's a beautiful watch, but I like your current two watches better. I think the Rhodium dial looks great in pictures, but it may prove to be a little too monochromatic in person compared to your two existing ones. Either way, there's no way I'd trade either of those two. And I say that as a huge YM fan and owner.

[myporsche]

I don't see the point of having 2 of the same watches but I like to contrast of the 2 GMTs you have and if your a die hard fan of the GMT I would say keep them both and flip the black sub for the YM2 to have some diversity in models and cases with a bonus of having a more comfortable case with some more color in the collection.

[Rubyrex]

The YM rhodium dial is gorgeous don’t let the members say anything differently. Most underrated Rolex.

YM2 a more comfortable case?

[Rubyrex]

I find it to be the most comfortable watch to wear.

YM not YM2, the YM has a rounded case similar to Daytona and DJ. I didn't realize how comfortable it was until I tried on my friends DJ2, I was always used to the Sub style case.

[mk2jag]

I have had at least 3 GMT’s and never seemed to be able to keep them. While I loved the bezel, I was never crazy about the larger handset and seeing I have a ceramic sub, I already have a super case sports watch. The great thing about the yacht master is the elegance or the case. It is more refined then the GMT or sub and also a bit more dressy. I also wanted a dress watch but didn’t want a date just, The yacht master fits the bill just right. The bezel is amazing.

I would swap the root beer out. I personally wouldn’t see the point of two gmts and the yachtmaster is a good change up. It’s slimmer, more elegant.

Swap the CHNR for the RG TT YM.

[RHIII]

I’d part with the BLNR and keep the CHNR.

I would keep what you have. You have a TT GMT on Oyster and a BLNR on jubilee. I would say there is more than enough variety there to justify keeping both.

I had the chance to buy both dial variants of the Yachtmaster 40 at an AD last week. Tried them on but they didn't do it for me. I would say of the two the Rhodium was the nicest.

Very nice collection you have by the way.
