I don't know about their values but I like the 5935A. It has flyback chronograph, world time and a salmon dial. I would do this trade simply because I like the 5935.

I would opt for the 5930G with the blue dial.
The salmon/pink dial of the 5935 accentuates the too-small seconds subdial, which I consider a bit of an eye-sore emphasized by the black outer edge. |

Thanks all...I also have a lot of blue dials in the collection currently. 5712 and 5168....
Salmon would round it out and I'm simply never wearing the Hulk.... |

I would.
Obviously, its a different animal than the two you would be using in trade but... The salmon dial is very cool and its great on the strap its delivered with. |

I'd worry how versatile the dial would be

I think you need to see this watch in person first. I remember trying it on and felt it was too big for my wrist. My personal preference would be the 5230P if a world timer is what you are looking for. Understand that you have some blue dials in your collection but don’t think the 5935a is that spectacular when I saw it. Its 2 pros are that it’s made in steel (debatable) and salmon dial (not my particular liking). I like my salmon on the plate and into my mouth, not on my wrist unfortunately.

I don’t know values regarding the financials about the trade. If you aren’t using it and the 5935A takes your interest…why not (you can always move it along).
I’d recommend trying it on if possible, like others have said salmon may not fit you. Salmon dials seem to be on trend and when I tried it on I felt it wasn’t classic/neutral enough to warrant asking for…beautiful piece though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would not. A blue (?) wg daytona and green Sub are great classics. The Patek not so much

Which WG Daytona? Meteorite dial no way.
Such a shame Patek made the 5935A so big. Would have preferred the same case size as 5230P. It's already softening on the secondary market, heading towards RRP already. I guess they thought steel appeals to a younger audience who would prefer a larger watch. |

I agree. 5930G much better look and balance.

Yes. I love the 5935a.
I have a few wg Daytonas and a hulk and wouldn’t be sad to part with 1 and the hulk. |
