No way. As someone who really considered this and weighed it out while the Platona is gorgeous simply put it's one watch, has a basic movement and there is a 10k version of it available. The 40th and RG are a perfect two. Keep those and get a SS daytona.

I love the Platona and it's my grail, but see that you have a platinum DD-II, I hate to say no....
Maybe the RG ROO plus IWC SS Regulateur / Omega Sea Master Professional / Rolex TT DateJust for the Platona.

The Jumbo is an icon... I agree

Keep one AP, never 2 AP for 1 Rolex ?!'x:/: nope. 1 APx 1Rolex is already pushing it.

7sins · 29 November 2014, 04:11 AM

Absolutely not!

I agree. I like precious metal Rolexes but the Platinum Daytona is in a price territory that's hard (for me) to justify. Besides, I think the novelty of its weight may wear off after a while - and possibly even become an annoyance. My WG Pepsi is plenty heavy.... I couldn't imagine something even beefier hanging off my wrist.

100% agree! Maybe part with something else and get a SS Daytona.

TheMethod · 29 November 2014, 06:24 AM

I would keep the Jumbo but sell the other one and find extra funds for the Platona.

GB-man · 29 November 2014, 07:59 AM

If they no longer sing to you and the platona does then go for it

you can easily reacquire a 44RG or a 15202.

That said, I would not.

Noooooooooooooo!!!!

sebastien1975 · 29 November 2014, 12:19 PM

Thanks for all the input so far. I still love the 2 APs. Perhaps the 44mm is slightly too big as I feel like I am slowly moving away from the oversized watch phase. However, every time I think about trading it selling it I take it out and the rise gold and ceramic and polishing is just amazing.

As for the platona, I love the color combination. I love the weight. It's very versatile. Sporty yet can wear with suit. The 44mm is strictly a weekend watch along with my 5980, YG GMT, DSSD

Lange1 · 30 November 2014, 05:15 AM

Brilliant idea! I should trade my Rolex for a Casio, too.

kb24 · 30 November 2014, 06:43 AM

ur crazy.. i would never do that..

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

I don't know. Have a feeling the jumbo might be tougher down the road

zama · 30 November 2014, 08:02 AM

Same post as I gave in the Rolex section, I love the jumbo not a big fan of the ROO series, so I would move that on, but I would go a nice Newman Daytona dial YG Daytona ahead of a Platinum in any case.......

usctrojan99 · 1 December 2014, 03:04 PM

I would take a Rolex over AP 95% of the time, that trade falls in the 5%. Don't do it.

No suit?

Daytona4130 · 3 December 2014, 03:42 AM

Vipes · 3 December 2014, 03:57 AM

Nope. If you really want the platona then I would sell the Skydweller and GMT. I would never part with the Jumbo.

That and the fact that you're gonna take a huge hit on resale, at least if you do it get the platona through a grey dealer, the retail in France is 60K, euros of course, and I saw you can get some at around 45K BNIB, maybe even better, but you will still take a hit on resale but not as bad as if from AD… But still wouldn't do the trade
