Would you trade a super crisp 6240 for the new Nautilus coming out? They are comparable in price but one is a fairly rare watch (1000-1200) and the other will be in production? What do you guys think is the right move?

apbb2 · 6 September 2018, 12:01 PM

5740 will be valued way more the second you walk out the door with it assuming your trade is at MSRP.

If it were me, I would do it.

If you decide not to go for it, can I have your allocation?

Good luck with your decision.

I love the 5740 but no freaking way!

Have a picture of the 6240 in question?

I would sell everything in my collection except for the 5711 and 5712 to get the 5740. That includes the Daytona if I have one.

Add!

Personally I’d rather have a super crisp 6240.

Russell996 · 6 September 2018, 03:41 PM

Keep the Daytona.

Daytona

tom2517 · 6 September 2018, 05:17 PM

Daytona.

RussW · 6 September 2018, 07:06 PM

This raises the interesting points of modern versus vintage and the value of collectibility / rarity. The modern equivalent of the 6240 is the £9k 116500, which objectively is a better watch. So the value of a 6240 is let’s say 90% for collectibility and 10% for the actual watch. I think it’s a very personal decision whether you therefore think that represents a better buy than the 5740.

I think in the short term at least, I’d wait it out a little and see what production and availability is like on the 5740.

AK797 · 6 September 2018, 08:16 PM

I'd trade that for sure, only a PN would give me pause.

1William · 6 September 2018, 08:41 PM

I would do the trade if it was straight. The whole Daytona market is on a bubble and you could get maximum value for a great watch trade.

kneedeep · 6 September 2018, 11:46 PM

I'm for the Daytona on this one. Not a big fan of complicating the clean look of the 5711 dial. IMO the 5712 pulls off the best "complication" to the base Nautilus.

JorgeCCW · 7 September 2018, 12:26 AM

Daytona and I am not a vintage fan

Passionata · 7 September 2018, 12:29 AM

Hard to give a wise advisec,D will probably appreciate even if the general wristwatch bubble burst a little ,Nautilus PC well who know how hard to get will be in the long run,if yr D is stellar w all paperworks then i think it s wiser to keep it.

sensui · 7 September 2018, 01:59 AM

IMO this would be a question if the Patek was discontinued.....you won't be finding that Daytona easily in the future so I'd keep it. Now if you didn't want the Daytona/not loving it and only keeping because it's an expensive vintage relic + you love the 5740....choice is clear.

TheRolexKingofLV · 7 September 2018, 02:14 AM

I'd keep The Daytona.

SL BRABUS · 7 September 2018, 04:18 AM

Find something else to sell or trade.....

For me it's no brainer..... Daytona is a keeper..

Agree with my friend here.....^^^.....

wiggindude · 7 September 2018, 04:23 AM

No way I would trade the Daytona. You have a watch that is no longer made versus a watch that is in production. Easy choice for me.

jcoltrane · 7 September 2018, 06:33 AM

I'd keep the Daytona and figure out how else to fund the 5740. That'd be an excellent 2-watch collection if others needed to be sold.

enjoythemusic · 8 September 2018, 12:43 AM

Gosh no. A great classic Rolex versus a modern watch still in production. Rolex for the win.

soundserious · 9 September 2018, 01:16 AM
