Trade help needed please!

Gents, I need help with what desireable Rolex around $10,000US should be considered. I have three pieces (2 Rolex and 1 Omega) I offered to a friend that deals in watches. I discounted them to the most attractive prices if he agrees to allow them as trades. The Omega is a nice 105.012 on old Seamaster style Omega bracelet, a all original 1971 1675 on correct 7836 full bracelet and a 1977 pre Comex 5513 serif dial 5513 on correct 9315. All are very much in collectible condition. I ran prices through my head and I came up with $10,300. Am I pricing too high or am I accurate? Basically need some help in deciding what one piece is wisest choice in Rolex if I gave up these three for it? I really appreciate the help. Thanks, Gerard

Without pictures is a tough call. Collectable condition could mean differently to people. The condition and service history plays a major part in the value.
On the surface sounds like a fair estimate but it also depends the type of watch you are trading for and the price being offered to you. You may be fair but the other party may not be as generous.

Thanks
I am looking for specific suggestions of what watch you and others would say are worth getting into at 10k. Can you think of a good one at that price point that has a likelihood to grow in value in anyones collection?

Okay. But what if that 1 is a decent, original 1665?

much easier for you to decide if you have a watch in mind to trade for. now simply research values on that 1665 and there is your answer

I think, based on condition of course, that your values are more than fair and in fact I would likely pay you that much in cash let alone trade for the three.

I agree a 1665 great white would be great, but I would have the three you have now.

FF 1680 red or a great white 1665 would be quite nice ;)
