Perhaps keep searching for a similar deal for the 1815 in rose?

An interesting 3-for-1 proposition

Hello friends, hope you are well! I have been offered, from a reputable source, a WG ALS 1815 38.5 mm for well under market price. I would need to part with my 38.5 mm RG JLC Master Thin (which I adore), 36 mm Rolex OP (which I have been planning on movin...

Having offered my RG 1815 Up & Down I've found most prefer the steel blue sweeps in the YG and WG versions. Different strokes for different folks

If you have to ask someone if you should do it, that basically means you're not convinced. And if you're not convinced, then you probably shouldn't do it. Just that simple. If you were certain you should do it, you wouldn't ask...

You are giving up two watches you adore for a watch that you preffer another version of. Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the romance of a good brand and it can cloud our judgment.

You can always buy back any of those three. You can also find new love that have those 3's characters.
