Re: Should I trade?
In Response To: Should I trade? ()

: Hello,

: I am asking some advice from you. I have a Heuer Regatta 134.505
: that is in great shape. I may have an opportunity to trade it
: for a Movado-El Primero "Big Blue" or an Omega
: flightmaster 911. The flightmaster has the standard gray face,
: balck subdials and works but the case needs to be re-grained.
: The El Primero is the 17 jewel Movado variant, and it looks a
: bit better, but also needs to be re-brushed.

: Any suggestions as to what I should do?

: Thanks,

: Jed

What's your desired outcome?

Your two choices seem decidedly dissimiliar.

>> automatic winding high beat chronograph with date
>> manual winding chronograph with GMT function

The two watches are not natural competitors in terms of features and functions, so you are apparently using some criteria other than features and functions to decide.

What's your criteria?
