Your ripping yourself off big time in that deal.

No way is that worth it

scooba · 18 June 2017, 04:00 PM

Not sure on the values of your current collection but owning a Platona all I can say is it's very special ,very heavy,lovely. The 5711 does nothing for me but from the above I appear in a minority

Nah, 5711 isn't my bag either. Doesn't feel that awesome on my wrist.

I would absolutely do it if the cash to you was sufficient not to make it a terrible deal financially. I have two Nautilus but I love my Platona 1000 times more than them. That said, if there was a way you could keep the Nautilus, a steel Rolex Sport and add the Platona, that would be a perfect three watch collection.

Very funny, but you're more than two months late.
You should have posted 1st April!

I wouldn't trade your collection plus cash for a Platona. If you are set on making a trade, keep the PP 5711 and trade the rest.

Nice threesome.
I've tried on the platona many times in the hope that I would succumb, because is wears just superb. However, I just cannot get further than the hue of brown for the bezel.
For me - should have been Royal blue.

regnant · 18 June 2017, 08:06 PM

I would do it
I sold BLNR to make funds for the Daytona 116506
As for Day Date, as much as I like these, I prefer Sky Dweller
Neither Patek nor Omega does it for me

mjclark32 · 18 June 2017, 10:23 PM

Could you? Yes. Should you? Hell no! Great foursome, and the SD on the way, perfect

travisb · 18 June 2017, 10:32 PM

I'd do it as long as you have five figures + coming back your way.
Platona and SD4K makes for a great pair.

Racerdj · 18 June 2017, 10:36 PM

As much as I like the Platona, I would not get rid of your collection especially the 5711.

One Ping Only · 18 June 2017, 10:39 PM

Seems like a bad trade to me.

Yup

jbenjamin1 · 18 June 2017, 11:27 PM

What I am seeing is a beautiful and well balanced collection.

That 5711 is going up up in value....

Your choice at the end of the day but heed other members words please.

ajas · 19 June 2017, 01:21 AM

Bad deal

ggabz · 24 June 2017, 02:36 AM

Hey guys

Thanks for all the great feedback was offline for a few days....

Just to clarify I was getting 10k GBP plus the Platona.

However I decided against the deal for 2 reasons.

1. 5711 just to good to lose even
with platinum fever.

2. Wife loves the dd2 and won't let me sell ( so I guess that's the real reason!)

However I now have mega urge for a new watch and decided to part ex my BLNR and GSOM plus cash from me for a BNIB WG sub.

This affliction can't be tamed but I have curbed my Platona fever until next year to justify a big 40 birthday present to myself :)

In coming in about 7 days !

I wouldn't trade all 4 for a Platona, but I would certainly consider trading the DD40 (or 5711) + Omega Speedmaster for a Patek 5170 (G, R, or P) + cash

http://www.patek.com/en/mens-watches...ions/5170R-010

Great collection you have currently BTW

Edit: I see your decision on the WG Sub 116619LB aka Smurf. Great choice and an awesome piece, Congrats! On my very short list for a 35th B present to myself

ejvette · 24 June 2017, 03:26 AM

Agree with the not letting the 5711 go but those are all great piece's for just 1 PM piece I sure wouldn't do that trade

I say keep 5711 and DD, sell/trade the others to help with your Platona purchase

soundserious · 24 June 2017, 10:11 AM

Keep the 5711. Everything else including the Platona is expendable.

DramaTurtle · 24 June 2017, 10:13 AM

Keep. No trade. You have an amazing collection as is.
