Should I do it or not. As if, which shall be my better choice?

Thanks in advance.

I'd say keep the Montblanc

[Jarod200]

your montblanc looks nicer

[G.MAC]

Since you are bound to take a massive hit for the montblanc, i suggest you keep the montblanc. After a while you will realise that the GMT and the Submariner is very similiar. If you love the GMT a lot, i suggest you trade in the Sub for the GMT. That way you have a particular theme going for i.e: GMT complication.

[dualcarb]

I agree with G.MAC. The GMT II and the Sub C really looks similar. Unless I take an extra look at the dial to see the 24hour markers, it will be difficult to tell the Sub and GMT apart. Your Mont Blanc is really nice looking. Why not keep it for a little while longer to see if you like it?

Thanks guys for the feedback.

Basically I like this montblanc also, as well as this is also my first time bought the watch on the spot from the first sigh...unlike the Sub c and RO which I took weeks or months of thinking before pulling the trigger.

The reason why the flipping thinking came across may be mainly due to the 'low ball'  trade in  value offered which immediately caused me a 'regret' feeling of buying it and feel to flip it for other more valuable in every angles watch.

Just to share abit the reason why I bought this watch in the first place, it not only looks nice from the appearance, also I like the multi features of the watch which I hardly able see with that kind of value of watch you able get the watch with chrono (disc type), GMT, day/night and date indicator, this admired me lots that time.

I'm new to the watch world, am apology in advance if I'd made any statement incorrectly first. The engineered of the watch which able build up mechanically the multi features in such a limitation space yet able accurately functioning well and to me it is already a 'complication'. I really respect of it.

So, may be now the sifu sifus outthere able share me more on their opinion on this watch or I shall trade it for other watch not limited only for the choices I'd put up.

[CKL1213]

Yes you should

[dualcarb]

I am not a sifu and just a watch enthusiast. I buy a watch because I like it. I have also flipped watches because I no longer wear them as much and they don't get enough wrist time for me to justify keeping them. With that in mind...If you bought the watch on sight because it sang to you right there and then...that already speaks volumes. You buy a watch to make yourself happy. That is all, not because of it's resale value and what the market hype is...

I don't quite like the dial it looks busy to me and it's just my opinion, no hard feelings. The others GMT watches have much cleaner and simple dial.

[watchmanu]

another vote from me to keep the montblanc...

[el118]

I doubt u can trade with Batman without any top up.

[theseira]

I would do the trade. But like el said doubt u can get to trade without top up.

[john8899]

I doubt u can trade with Batman without any top up.

Sadly, I been offered only 50% of my purchased price....that is why I called it 'low ball'..

[timenut]

The MB is a visually interesting piece. Not really my cup of tea but surely you bought it because you liked it enough to have bought it on first sight. RV is never going to be the same as a Rolex but then Rolexes are too commonplace.. I think you should keep it if you still like it.

[jacky8888]

keep the Montblanc....

like bro G.Mac said your Sub C is similar to GMT2..

plus you will lose a lot of money if you trade or sell now....

[Laktos Kid]

Keep the montblanc !!! 

[contender]

Welcome to the watch collection journey .... it's all part and parcel of buying watches. Like investments, "keep" it so that your so called loss is just on "paper" .... and go buy your Batman GMT unless you really need the money why take 50% hit ..... let me see I'll offer you 55% of your purchase price .....

[john8899]

Hi Jacky,

Ya, really in struggling now. Last said, trade it, will lose a lot money. However, keep it, will lose further.

Question now, is this watch a good choice as the permanent collection since I would prefer to have kind of permanent collection. This is what I'm thinking now of cos my mind may change from time to time

  Why not 75% ?

The Montblanc Nicholas Rieussec is the type of watch that not many people are bold enough to acquire and yet always gets the envious attention in gatherings from all watch enthusiast alike. That mono-pusher will continue to get more attention and compliments for years to come. Though the Rolex GMT is a fantastic watch, I do not believe wearing it will give you the same effect or reaction.

While others have played safe, you have decided to be different and follow your gut instinct. Kudos! For the amount of complication and craftsmanship put into it, not many realise that it is still a very good deal even at RRP. The intrinsic value is there, just a matter of time when the market will realise it. Montblanc is doing a lot of good works lately and if they keep this up, they might just managed to shed of the 'fashion-watch' impression and become a serious player in the watch segments. Needless to say, the value of their timepiece will also increase.

Keep it.

  What you said is what I thought especially on this part 'that not many people are bold enough to acquire ' ..cos many ppl not willing to spend that kind of amount for Montblanc watch.

But you able describe and explain much much better than me!

Thanks.

It is a price to pay for most of the new collectors. Try to refrain from impulse purchase again in the future.

Hi el, understood that

Am forget to mention also, another factor which caused my immediate purchased that time is also due to I got a very very good discount, I dont think I able get that kind of offer from any other AD and not to say from the boutique.

I think this is the watch that I purchased with the biggest 'gain' and satisfying on the price offered which not many ppl able get it.

The subc and RO , I think I got only a reasonable discount in the market which many also able get it same as what I obtained.

Just my personnel opinion. 

[artyca]

I'd keep the MB. It has so much more character compared to the Rolexes. Not to mention that you'll stand out from the sea of sameness that every Rolex owner has to deal with.

[ckcspice]

Keep the MB n save up for your next watch. It is a unique watch n don't deserve to lose 50% value in 4 months. Hang in there buddy
