Is this a good trade? Ceramic Daytona + BLNR + $3K for Patek 5205

My brand new white ceramic Daytona + 6 month old BLNR + $3K, for a heavily polished Patek 5205g on tang?

Never in a million years would I consider it.

However, based on just value alone, it seems like a decent trade.

From a dollar standpoint, I think so... Condition obviously depending.

$18,500 Daytona, $9,500 Batman, $3k...

Personally, I prob wouldn't make the trade though.

You can do so much more with your current collection than that Patek

Guess it just depends on what you want out of your collection. IMO, it takes a really special watch to take the place of two. And...the two we're talking about are special in their own right.

So...I wouldn't, but it's all about you in this thread.

2 of the most popular sports watches, per TRF, for one dress watch......... I don't think that would work. I know ya'll love PP, the calendar, moon, etc but man that feels steep.

Dollar wise, it's a good trade...$12.4k Daytona, $9k BLNR + $3k for an AC Gold Patek. That said, I'm not sure I would do the trade.

You would trade two lifelasting watches to one art piece. Is it good or not, i do not know. But i would never do it.

Money sounds right assuming you bought at MSRP or lower. But as another person said. It bette the one heck of a watch to replace those two plus 3k!
