Hi all

New member but long time lurker

I have a bit of a dilemma. We are in the middle of a house moved and our youngest daughter is about to start school so more fees and I’d like to free up a bit of money in the short term

I’ve decided to let one of the above go but can’t choose which one. Any input appreciated

I’d still have the Hulk and a Pepsi GMT if that makes it any easier to advise

Thanks

AK797 · 23 May 2018, 09:43 AM

I'd let the GMT go, rather keep the other 3, otherwise the Daytona.

DanMdR · 23 May 2018, 09:56 AM

I’d say sell the ROC. Then you’re still left with a great trifecta of Rolex’s. I don’t know much about AP’s, but if you ever wanted to buy another it’s probably easier than finding another Daytona.

Sell everything but the Daytona C. Buy back when things allow. Family first.

hugs · 23 May 2018, 09:59 AM

I’d sell the Daytona. Make use of the inflated price. Chances are by the time you are in a position to buy back the hype has died down slightly you can buy back for RRP or a bit over,

05carbondrz · 23 May 2018, 10:09 AM

Did You pay MSRP for the Daytona? That’s the big question.

strettyend · 23 May 2018, 10:21 AM

Hulk and/or GMT

rallyx · 23 May 2018, 10:54 AM

Sell the ROC. They are easier to come by down the track should you decide to pick one up again. Also AP might, and just might start making their own chrono movement by the time your youngest girl starts high school.

Ichiran · 23 May 2018, 11:04 AM

Always sell the one that is easiest to buy back

Keep the hulk.

Roger Lococco · 23 May 2018, 11:22 AM

Definitely sell the ROC.

red1108nyc · 23 May 2018, 11:31 AM

If it is a 39mm ROC, it will only become harder to replace if you miss it later.

watchmework · 23 May 2018, 11:35 AM

Sell the ROC.

jrs146 · 23 May 2018, 11:49 AM

Bye bye ROC!

Wearing an AP on daily basis can be next level...

Great pic

SC11 · 23 May 2018, 04:14 PM

That fact you listed the Daytona as an opinion in itself means to me it’s not a true keeper so if you paid retail on it then sell and get the free money!

Beautiful and it fits perfectly.

Daycruiser · 23 May 2018, 04:26 PM

sell the daytona! You already have two sports Rolex model, you want the ROC for more dressy occasions. Nothing beats that brushed and polished finish!

How does what you paid for it change anything?

If you paid 30k or 5k how does that change the amount of money its worth now to free up?

In this scenario its impossible for any of us to judge your emotional attachment so treat the watches like a commodity, which is the most liquid and easiest to get in and out of? I believe thats the Daytona.

Is that’s a even a serious question!

If he paid retail on the Daytona he’ll be £4K up on the sale so that’s £4K he never had

sdh1980 · 23 May 2018, 05:16 PM

Thanks for all the input so far. The ROC is the white 26331st. So in fairness, this would probably be the easiest to replace at a later date

The other option would be the Hulk and the GMT to go. I forgot to mention there is also a Kermit in the mix but I think I'd regret letting that go in the same way I do from when I sold my Zenith Daytona a couple of years ago. Doh!

TeddyS · 23 May 2018, 05:45 PM

Did you pay retail for all the watches? If so I would definitely loose the Daytona. By far the biggest return

Unfortunately Daytona not bought at retail. I'd make about £1000 on it

yep.

If its a financial decision then sell the one you will lose the least on or make the most on depending on what you paid.

IMO preference has nothing to do with this choice. Make the business decision.
