I'm 99% certain that I am going through with this trade but interested to hear your thoughts.

I will be getting 5524g (2021) + a bit of Cash for my 116500LN Panda daytona (2019).

I am technically selling the most hyped up rolex steel sports for a white gold patek that is more complicated but less loved by the market.

When I first saw the 5524g I hated the two pushers to the left but now I think its qwerky and love the look.

Seems like a no brainer ?

agsstructures · 2 March 2022, 06:26 AM

I would trade for a Patek but not the 5524. Mainly because my wrist is tiny and I can’t wear it lol!

FloridaBill · 2 March 2022, 07:14 AM

I think this is an excellent trade as you probably paid $12k for the Daytona and the retail on the PP is $55k and if you get some cash, I assume you are clearing $60k

The PP is an outstanding selection, but will be more under the radar than the panda, but those in the know, will know...

myk7000 · 2 March 2022, 07:18 AM

Personally, as an owner of both- I’d do this trade to get the 5524g- it’s an echelon higher in my book (quality and prestige wise) That being said, you should be aware that the Daytona won’t come along anytime soon - so if you LOVE LOVE the Daytona, maybe think about it a bit more.

Hard_Six · 2 March 2022, 07:47 AM

I really like the 5524g but there's no way I'd trade my 116500 for it. It's not that I don't think it makes sense value wise, it's just that I love my Daytona.

uniqueMR · 2 March 2022, 08:09 AM

Do not sell.
Keep Panda. And save up for 5524G. Its not going anywhere so you have time to save and buy it.

mjm700 · 2 March 2022, 11:54 AM

Hard to say, but I’m not convinced the 5524G will continue to be easily obtained. It’s too good and takes time for opinions to change. You can see it in the threads. Love mine. Sold my daytona long ago. Most (not all) dings on 5524 tend to be that it is too big for them. Others love or hate the pushers. The complication is incredibly useful if you travel or care about a second time zone. Better than any GMT. Have fun.

IMO….yes…no brainer! I’ve had most iterations of the Daytona and both the G and the R 5524. To me it’s just a much more special watch than the Daytona, and I am a Daytona fan. As MYK7000 said…it’s an echelon higher, and I agree. If I had to pick one and never have both…5524 would be my pick.
At the end of the day it’s all personal, buy what you’ll love to look at on your wrist.

macrowatch · 2 March 2022, 12:01 PM

It’s an odd world. I simultaneously don’t think Daytona white is a 50k watch, and I wouldn’t do that trade because I love the Daytona more than the 40k profit the trade represents.

wchbos · 2 March 2022, 12:14 PM

I have a Daytona and a 5524g. They are each special for different reasons, and I could not choose between them. If you can keep the Daytona and get a 5524g later, I'd go that route unless you are sure you won't want another Daytona, which are tough to get unless you want to pay gray prices undercutting your trade.

Chute · 2 March 2022, 12:59 PM

Only do it if you really plan to wear and enjoy the 5524.

kdqq · 2 March 2022, 01:51 PM

Thanks for your opinions.
Yes daytona is a nice watch but its not "special" to me and definitely dont see the value @ $50K. I wish I could have em all :P but I'm not that rich. Maybe one day!

Trade is done. I will be doing a F2F transaction on Friday this week!

The Daytona is way too cliche. The Patek is of much more taste. One day when Patek discontinue the watch, it'll be missed very much.

smallcollector · 2 March 2022, 03:00 PM

50k for daytona will not last more than a couple more years imo.

alexlt730512 · 2 March 2022, 03:53 PM

I'd do it for sure for the current market :)

Jlamb · 2 March 2022, 04:09 PM

I would do it for sure. 5524 is a very nice watch, especially when you see it in person, and the travel time function is simply amazing.

Amateur · 2 March 2022, 05:20 PM

I would take advantage of the current market and do it. If you have a good relationship with your AD, you could potentially re-purchase the daytona at some point

Pimpsy · 2 March 2022, 06:43 PM

I'd put it toward a 5205 or 5905 personally but either way, don't hesitate to get the value out of the Daytona while it's peaking.

Big congratulations! Post up the pics of that beauty when you get it on your wrist!

Srct · 2 March 2022, 09:56 PM

I am a fan of the 5524 and that seems a good trade - congratulations and enjoy

1William · 2 March 2022, 10:19 PM

Go for it and post some pictures when you get it.

Cant wait to see it!

10XRolex · 3 March 2022, 06:43 AM

I like the concept since I like the 5524. But there is just something so psychologically pleasing when having a Daytona. Very tough decision.

Yobrooks · 3 March 2022, 01:02 PM

5524..go for it. Agree, it's a higher echelon watch - not even close. Beautiful dial, lume, great gmt function.

Go for it, the 5524g is a fantastic piece and it will be noticed only by those who know, rather than the masses that will go: "nice Daytona bro".

Only for that reason I will do the switch, even more so that currently you can trade them at the same value + some cash in your pocket!

DEAL

ts3 · 3 March 2022, 08:41 PM

It depends on what else you have got. As an only watch I would rather keep the Daytona.

1William · 3 March 2022, 10:27 PM

Congratulations.

helloworldies · 5 March 2022, 01:01 AM

I would definitely trade if I had another ceramic Rolex as well as the Daytona

Cryptochonos1 · 6 March 2022, 01:22 AM

I wouldn’t do that trade, considering Pandas continue to climb I would simply hold on to that piece and treat it like a piece of gold.
