Advise needed on Gen Trade

[bruce79]

I recently took in a 111i on trade and am now considering trading it for a 000K...just love the base painted dial. My 111 is in excellent shape with some scratches and a ding or two. The 000 is in Mint condition and is only 6 months old. Even though the 111 has a better movement and retails for a bit higher, would you consider this trade to be even? The 111 is over two years old and runs great, just regulated to +3 seconds. I would say so but I just wanted to bounce it off the gen owners here. Thanks

Not quite an even trade IMHO, assuming both have papers, etc. If the scratches can be cape codded out, most certainly do so too.

Hey Chief, if not an even trade, which do you suppose would be the lesser?

Hey my friend, I would`nt. He should pony up some bucks your way. I agree on the zero, my favorite hands down.

Yours is more valuable.

It's a tough call because the pre-owned market is so soft right now. I have seen 111i go from $3500-$4000 and 000k series go from $3300 to $3800. The 000 is no doubt in better cosmetic condition, has 1.5 years left on the warranty, 1 owner, and comes with everything! Mine is a couple years old, has some dings & scratches, no outer box/polishing cloth. As you know, selling a gen nowadays is tough. I know the 111 retails for more but on the used market, with the above watches in mind...it's tough.

Personally I would keep this watch J and get yourself a nice rep base to sooth the itch.

I think it is a fair trade.. Do it
