Are you concerned your Rolex AD may know your selling stuff? This is a crazy market for the hard-to-get stuff.

You’ll be all right with others to rotate to and you’re in a good area for that much “Boom” watch.

Congratulations! I completely understand your perspective. I’ve recently trimmed my collection as well.
In my case I traded in my two 116 Daytonas for a Patek 5186g. I would like to have a smaller rotation and wear what I have more with some variety (I have a 5396 as well) Like you I will replace one of the Daytonas with a Black 112. I’ve done everything through my AD (both Rolex & Patek)…keeps the hobby fresh! Enjoy! |

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who feels the need to consolidate once in a while! And it’s wild that you traded two 11 series Daytonas as well. Do you feel the same way I do, that the new 12 series kind of overshadows the 11 series in terms of aesthetics?
Totally agree—getting your collection dialed in through proper consolidation and fine-tuning is key to really enjoying this hobby to the fullest!

Congrats! That's a big move, but it's all about getting what you want. Looks amazing. This is what I love about watch collecting...there's no right or wrong....it's an emotional hobby and you are never wrong to clean house and get what you really want.

Getting the collection condensed to a manageable size has been rewarding. Quote:
Sure is! Totally agree, 100%. I don’t think a lot of people realize how much our tastes evolve over time. What was once at the top of our list can start feeling old pretty quick. It’s definitely an emotional hobby, and sometimes refreshing the collection or narrowing it down to just a few key pieces can be incredibly satisfying. I see it as a natural progression as we focus in on the references that really speak to us over time.

As an example - It’s a lot easier for them to offload a couple of Ceramic Daytonas than it is to sell a single watch worth $50k to $60k. That’s why, in my trade, I turned one watch into five that are easier to move. For anyone with a large collection, now’s the time to consolidate if you’ve been thinking about it. Dealers need to shift those high-priced, harder-to-move pieces to keep cash flow going, so there are definitely deals to be made!

I do feel the same about the 11 series vs the 12. I enjoyed both of my 116s very much, but I was wearing them less and less over time. However my Black did get a lot of wear between the two. I will replace the Black first. |

G-Luxe actually posted this deal on their Instagram page. He did a competition for $500 on who could guess how much money had to be added to the deal from either G-Luxe or the customer. Answer was obviously an even trade.

Good for you, sometimes less is more. Consolidate to wear the pieces more often makes sense. Great looking watch! How’s it wear, real heavy or comfortable? That’s a lot of gold!
