Well, I have a SS and WG SkyD. Perfect rotation. If it ever arrives in PT, I'll get that too.

HogwldFLTR · 4 December 2018, 10:06 AM

Frankly I'd much prefer the Day Date Pt to the combination of watches you have. I don't think for a new DD you can do it with what you're trading in alone. Seems like it'll take some out of pocket cash as well. I just went through the same thought process ending up with a new Platona. I loved the diagonal motif as well but in the end thought the Daytona just a prettier watch.

LuminousMaximus · 4 December 2018, 10:08 AM

Don't take this the wrong way but may I ask...

I'm curious as to why you are not acquiring a DD maybe in WG first before you go full Platinum?

Nikrnic · 4 December 2018, 10:15 AM

I think of that too for this. Thankfully not obsessively. I do enjoy my hard earned collection and don't have the nerve right now to try and pull that one off. Best wishes on whatever you decide.

Agree. To be honest it can be a little tedious having like 7. Three choice pieces is like the sweet spot where you can to cycle them well without preference. Personally though I don’t know what those three would be since I prefer the c500 as my daily now. When I cycle, I can’t help wishing I wore the Daytona instead.

He said he liked the diagonal motif of the Pt; not certain why one would get other that what they like.

Go ahead and cut down your collection to maybe 2 i don't see a point in having too many watches that would not get too much attention on the wrist.

strettyend · 4 December 2018, 11:07 AM

A PT DD and Ceramic Daytona? Absolutely all day

brandrea · 4 December 2018, 11:16 AM

I’ll be that guy

... and say no.

I’ve contemplated something similar but in the end could never do it. Something
tells me there’s no end game watch for me, and I’d likely be bored with less variety.

To each their own, but I say keep what you have and save for the PT.

t65tampa · 4 December 2018, 11:46 AM

With the watches you’ve shown in your pics, if I were you, I’d be good with trading them all in, except for maybe one to keep as a low-key beater, towards a platinum DD40.

That DD40 is a “death watch”. Meaning you’ll be happy keeping it until you kick the bucket. The others are fine watches, but they aren’t mesmerizing like the DD40 is.

returntorolex · 4 December 2018, 12:01 PM

Aziz, any DD is a very special piece, platinum makes it even more so. Go for it!

i agree. 1 SS and 1 PM. either the LVC or 16710.

Drive · 4 December 2018, 12:12 PM

I would do it. I did it recently with an AP offshore and an IWC Yacht Club for a RG DD. I do have a SS Sub, a TT Sub and a PM Sub as well but only wear the PM Rolex’s. I guess my point is, for me, I really only rotate between two anyways.

Houston77 · 4 December 2018, 12:13 PM

Since you have a beater (the Daytona), I’d do it. Love that watch.

Pauln · 4 December 2018, 12:42 PM

Yes! The Daytona and that DD would be fantastic.

Wcdhtwn · 4 December 2018, 12:43 PM

That DD and black dial Daytona make a great pair. Go for it!

BakerView · 4 December 2018, 12:52 PM

Such a cool piece. I hope you'd wear it....A LOT.

It would be very hard for me to let the LVc and BLRO go. You may well kick yourself for that.

envuks · 4 December 2018, 01:18 PM

Just stopping back by and noticed this would be a consolidation to the DD while retaining a SS Daytona. Knowing there’s an SS to rotate to I’m 100% in favor. Two thumbs up!

dwjez14 · 4 December 2018, 01:49 PM

Do it the platinum is a bad boy !!!

Cru Jones · 4 December 2018, 03:37 PM

Nope, not for me. I much prefer your current collection to one DD. Just too drastic of a change + you have some really nice watches + that DD doesn’t make up for what is lost (IMO).

I would consider flipping (i) Pepsi + (ii) the TT DJ + (iii) one of Panerai + (iv) Tudor chrono for a RG YM (love that watch and think it would go great in your collection):

* black DaytonaC
* RG YM on Oysterflex
* LVc
* 372 or 422

Just my two cents.

Not much can beat a Plat DD40 - one of the heaviest hitters in the watch game.

I think ill go for it thanks guys

Mike i totally didnt know , i think you are correct !! i can talk about myself i think the appreciation of SS has a role in this idea ,, might be the same with others?

DoctorA · 5 January 2019, 11:39 PM

Of they’re not getting wrist time and you like the PT DD the. It’s a good idea to consolidate
