I wouldn't do it

solesman · 22 January 2018, 06:22 AM

I'm not a fan of GMT watches and the SD43 is too large for my wrists so if I wanted that Daytona I would flip those. Thing is I'm not a Daytona fan either so I wouldn't trade anyway

Devildog · 22 January 2018, 06:35 AM

I wonder how many of those saying absolutely no have owned a PM Daytona? I have, Seth does as does Chadri. There’s something very special about them that a green sub or a blue GMT can’t match.

solesman · 22 January 2018, 06:38 AM

I haven't, but I've tried them on (Platona & rose gold, bracelet, and black dial) and yes they feel nice and I appreciate the craftsmanship, but I don't like chronographs hence I wouldn't flip.

DoctorA · 22 January 2018, 07:17 AM

Don’t do it! Baaaaaaaaaad deal!

AK797 · 22 January 2018, 07:41 AM

I would, SS are cool but one or two are really enough.

I'll join my boys.

henrylee · 22 January 2018, 07:45 AM

Life's too short go for the Daytona!

DocHorton · 22 January 2018, 07:46 AM

Not a chance I would trade both.

I would trade the LVc plus more cash and keep the BLNR and SD43 though.

Daytona on oyster flex is overrated and overpriced IMO.

I think the PM Daytona is special mainly because I found both my previous SS Daytonas to be un-special plus hard to read. PM versions (including my 116509) solved both problems.

I agree with what you're saying. Comparing SS watches to gold or platinum watches is hard to sell. 2 or 3 of one doesn't equal 1 of the other, except in dollars.

lecorsaire · 22 January 2018, 08:28 AM

It's a beautiful watch. Actually my favorite of all the Oysterflex Daytonas but I wouldn't do this deal. Who knows what will happen with the LVc price wise and the BLNR is such a versatile and useful watch. The 116519 is pretty pricey for a gold Rolex without a metal bracelet. If it will make you happier then do it, but I think you have 3 very cool watches right now. I would save and add the Daytona later on. Gold pieces tend to drop in price. While it's really, really hot right now, it will be cheaper in a couple of years.

For sure they're special. IMO the gold versions of all the sports watches beat the SS ones hands down no question. I especially love the pink dial 116505 that Roger Federer is currently wearing during the Australian Open. It looks stunning, but as far as functionality the BLNR is just more practical as is the LVc. In the end, it's a decision only he can make.

epc2 · 22 January 2018, 08:39 AM

I wouldn't do it.

Nycturbovr6 · 22 January 2018, 08:40 AM

I wouldn't get rid of any

smc23 · 22 January 2018, 08:55 AM

No way. You will regret it.

TickTockChuck · 22 January 2018, 09:02 AM

Personally I'm not a fan of the 116519LN, but it's what you like that counts. Don't rush into it as an impulse purchase and visit your Daytona a few times at the AD. The LVc and BLNR are very desirable and hard to replace watches and you picked them (and still wear them) for a reason. I understand the the alure of PM, but not so much rubber straps on a Rolex. Just sayin' to consider your reasons carefully. Good luck. Cheers!

WJGESQ · 22 January 2018, 12:41 PM

Speedmaster all day long if you want a chronograph.

IAN1 · 22 January 2018, 03:55 PM

no

superstarmar · 22 January 2018, 04:01 PM

Never !!!

Tanner · 22 January 2018, 04:19 PM

Again , thanks for all the comments and opinions . Much appreciated.

Just for the record. I am planning to wait a while before doing anything. And i will probably keep the Blnr.

Need the Pm price to come down a bit, which it will. And I'm waiting to see what happens to LVc.

Green is nice , but that Pm Daytona is the Nuts .

Hello guys. I have just put the trigger on a new WG Daytona on Oysterflex. Sold a Bluesy and a Rhodium Dial Datejust 41 in order to get this one. This Daytona looks and feels fantastic on the wrist.

My opinion, sell sd43 and blnr but keep the lvc and buy this Daytona. It's simply stunning!

kwingy · 26 January 2018, 07:39 PM

While I would have prefered the Daytona PM to be on bracelet, it's still a stunning watch and while you have two obviously desired SS models, trading in for that 1 PM model you love makes a lot of sense.

Snarltorialist · 26 January 2018, 08:04 PM

Love the 116519LN. Did someone say PM Daytona?

tig00s1783 · 26 January 2018, 08:05 PM

Ya I wouldn’t do that trade.

Rokoru · 26 January 2018, 08:21 PM

Sounds like a plan...keep as much as you can.

nikesupremedunk · 27 January 2018, 01:45 AM

I would get rid of the sd and get the Daytona. Blnr, hulk, and Daytona would be my ultimate trio.

Well... apologies, cause I don’t know what to tell you lol.

IMO you already own three of the best sports watches ever made. I’d try to keep two of three, and save up for the rest. The LVC is my all time favorite watch, but of the three, it’s in closest competition with the SD43.

I’d decide which of those two you like more. Lose the other, keep the BLNR, and sell an organ, take out a second mortgage or dip into your kids college fund to cover the difference. Lol. Obviously I’m kidding, but I’m all seriousness I would figure out a way to make up the difference and either own...

A. SD43, BLNR & 116519

Or

B. LVC, BLNR & 116519

Either trio would be epic!

I'd have to chose Option B. The LVc and BLNR are keepers for sure in my eyes. And you will not think twice about the SD43 once you have the PM Daytona.

Sub/GMT/Daytona - the holy trifecta!!

The_Watch_Clocker · 27 January 2018, 01:54 AM

you don't say how much cash you'd have to pay.

i'd say pass. if you want the daytona save your $ and buy it in a few years for less money.
