Usually I wouldn’t bother posting up trades and just go for it but I’m a bit torn on this one.

I want to move on my dd40, I’ve had it a few years and worn it a lot and fancy a change (plus I could probably get a new one from AD within a couple of years so not irreplaceable).

I have quite a large collection, including a white gold day date so I would still have one in the collection.

I very much like this Daytona, and have the opportunity to add one.

I’ll be up front with pricing the price of the Daytona is £47k it’s a very good condition 2019 model.

Now offers for watches aren’t strong at the moment (cash wise) and although you will see day date 40s selling for around the £40k mark this is not what I could sell it for myself and I expect to lose a few grand here or there in a trade to a dealer it’s no biggie.

So I’ll actually be trading three watches for this one, my dd40, and two air king 116900. (I have two air kings as I bought one a few years ago on top of the one I already had, when they were still in cases to try and build a purchase history, didn’t work btw lol)

So with what I originally paid for these watches (none of which I’m afraid I will miss at all I might add)
I will be into the Daytona for about 10 per cent over retail considering what I actually paid for them.

I guess It’s not so much about the watches as I know what I do and don’t want, it’s the value aspect of it. What do you think guys?

Here’s my day date and the potential Daytona.

I say go for it.

Mathematoxic · 20 May 2022, 09:54 PM

Go for it!

JayHantz · 20 May 2022, 09:56 PM

Since you have another Day-Date in the collection, and it sounds like you will not be out any cash with the deal - I say do it. You are getting another PM in the collection, and that Paul Newman dial is so good!

ELee · 20 May 2022, 10:05 PM

I would do it, especially if you already have a large collection.

samson66 · 20 May 2022, 10:12 PM

I guess given your collection go for it, but man that DD is fantastic!

ExplorerGuy · 20 May 2022, 10:30 PM

Gotta say, that DD looks amazing on you! But yeah, I say go for it with everything you mentioned.

watchwatcher · 20 May 2022, 10:40 PM

Not crazy about the DD TBH. I wouldn't wear it either if I had the WG meteorite.

The AK's...even less.

The Daytona, however, is a heart stopper. (IMO)

I'm not at all sure about the money part of the transaction, (can't be bothered to calculate pounds to dollars lol), but as far as what I would rather have in the collection...it's a slam dunk. I say trade approved, my friend.

brandrea · 20 May 2022, 10:46 PM

Seems like you’ve got the green light Jay

Lamontsanders · 20 May 2022, 11:27 PM

I would do that trade. Move stuff you aren’t wearing for something you will.

1665fan · 20 May 2022, 11:38 PM

Go for it!

macrowatch · 20 May 2022, 11:41 PM

Both watches are ultimately replaceable, so long term, if you regret it, can always get new ones.

So...go for it, do what makes you happy in the collection!

prnceofpersia23 · 20 May 2022, 11:50 PM

I’d take that Newman dial over that champagne sticks any day. And if you miss the AK’s, you can pick up the new and improved 12 series.

Do it!

Fleetlord · 20 May 2022, 11:54 PM

Trade Approved

Ollie1982 · 21 May 2022, 12:13 AM

…can’t wait to see the incoming!

Jackie Daytona · 21 May 2022, 04:47 AM

I’d say do it. Love the DD but based off everything you stated I would say do it. Love that Daytona as well.

horohollis · 21 May 2022, 06:17 AM

For you Larry! I think your post persuaded me the most here.

Pretty resounding yes it’s seeming like right now from everybody, I think I’m going to go for it you guys have almost pushed me over the edge … ALMOST

tyguy74 · 21 May 2022, 12:12 PM

Yes! Do it immediately!

dba · 21 May 2022, 12:18 PM

Not for that particular Daytona. I've opined many times here that I'm not a Daytona fan. But, if the one you were trading for, was the one with the green dial, then I'd be all over it. Best of luck in your decision.

Benzsiam · 21 May 2022, 03:18 PM

Definitely goes for it, that YG Daytona is gorgeous timepiece.

noshame · 21 May 2022, 03:26 PM

YES, I would!!

emtee · 21 May 2022, 05:04 PM

I would 100% do this as I think the Daytona is the nicer watch. Love the contrast of the sundials.
