The WG blue Submariner is an optic pop of almost sky blue.
Has a sheen when light hits the dial. But the blue remains relatively unchanged in differing light.
The WG Daytona(I own a S/G White dial Daytona)is a whole different appearance-all depending on the lighting. Outside is flaming, inside subtle.
Various hues of blue, each one catching my eye.
I’m spoiled with this one.

Congrats. From just reading the title I was about to groan about you trading your Smurf (it’s such a cool piece), but then I saw the picture of the blue dial Daytona. All is well Wear in good health

With a dealer, that is usually the case. They value your watch at used wholesale so they can resell it at a profit and sell you theirs at used retail. The key is to trade with other trusted known end users so the valuations both reflect the market price for each watch.

Market price for blue wg Daytona is good 7-10k more than a smurf based on trusted seller prices.

I wouldn't have done that as the WG Sub blue is so gorgeous and one of a kind, vibrant and beautiful, but congratulations.

Amazing!

Is it just me or have these dials gotten a little bit darker as the years have passed?
