Sell my batman and hulk to buy a daytona and a sub nd

I will sell my hulk and batman for $28800.
Is that a good deal?

Part of that money will be used to purchase a white ceramic daytona at premium and a sub no date

What do you guys think of this move?

I'd sell the Hulk, but I'd keep the Batman and go for the Daytona.

I’d buy a PM piece before a daytona at current prices

It selling hold and Batman at these levels isn’t a bad move, I feel like you can rebuy down the road cheaper

Selling the Hulk and Batman for a Daytona and a SubC seems like a great idea. I would definitely make that deal.

Sell the Batman for a Daytona. Keep the Hulk. Never sell that beauty.

I would sell the Hulk, keep the Batman, and buy a Daytona or a PM piece. I am not a fan of the Hulk, but it seems everyone likes it so you might make some decent cash on the sale.

I would sell both, to get rid of the silly nicknames.

Before you do this try the daytona on if you haven't already. Its flimsy, it doesn't have the feel of hulk or batman at all. Plus, honestly, its freakn hard to read, I don't know why people don't talk about this. Don't get me wrong, I want one, but I wouldn't give up my hulk or bman ever for the Daytona.

Why not? I’ll do that trade.

I don’t understand why people get so wrapped up in the premium talk especially in this scenario. He’s getting both a premium for the LV and BLNR and gets the Daytona valued at the equal number... on that basis of he shouldn’t “overpay”... should he sell the 2 for MSRP if the value of the Daytona is worth no more than MSRP to some?

I’ll be happy to pay the premium if that’s the going market for a watch I wanted really badly.

Batman goes, but Hulk stays :) At least that's what I plan to do eventually.

As long as you’re happy, the trade actually sounds like it works in your favour dollar wise.

I wouldn't dare sell the Batman, maybe the Hulk but not the Batman. You could hold on alittle longer till you have enough money to buy any of them.

Or sell either one and get a 116520. Prices aren’t totally crazy with that one yet.

keep the hulk and flip the batman + money on top for a daytona ceramic. honestly, once the hype wears off on you then you will want to sell the daytona for a precious metal since you will be in the 20k range.

Selling/Flipping a Rolex is never a good idea - for many reasons!

f.e. read some threads about the biggest mistakes some members did - mostly they regret having sold a Rolex!

Another reason "big brother" is maybe watching you! I know flippers who don`t get any Rolex from AD`s anymore because of selling themes (too fast)!

The personalized and big data Rolex is already reality!

I personally, if ever ended up in a position to own more than 1, would never sell.

You could always save up enough and have all 3 with no remorse of losing 2 greats.
