Trade DD 18078 + GMT Avenger II + Gold Buffalo for 16518?

Would you trade a day date 18078 in excellent condition with tight bark band, a gmt avenger ii, and a gold buffalo for a gold daytona on leather strap with gold rolex clasp?

How many pounds is the gold buffalo? Do you have the farm to accommodate it?

Lets break this down...

BARK DD HARD CASH BID $8K

Buffalo 1oz $50 BID $1295.00*

* Assuming this is a straight buillion piece with no numismatic value added.

Breitling Avenger GMT $2k*

* This watch is essentially worthless in a hard cash situation, but if you can trade it...Great!

So...$11,295.00 Trade.

Solid Gold Daytona on strap tend to go for $13.5 to $14K depending on crispness.

So, based on numbers. The trade is very solid on your end.

Daytonas are always in demand....whereas the DD is a bit dated and the Breitling has no liquidity in todays market.

The Buffalo is easily attainable...so no worries there.

Green Light!

It's a great trade on the OP side...

I was generous on the Breitling.

Unless the Daytona is totally roached out and mangled, this is make it happen ASAP trade.

That is a personal choice. Some people can't live without a bracelet (I am not one of those people). The movement, imho, is a moot point. To some that is important and to others, it doesn't matter so long as the watch is working properly.

Oh....

You had a chance to trade out of a very soft Breitling reference and into a solid gold Daytona and passed on it?

One was a straight trade with cash back the other was a trade plus sale of two items. I do think there is some overlap between the avenger ii and the gmt ii, they both have ii in the name. Lol

Thanks! I appreciated yours and all of the replies on the thread. Looking forward to an incoming soon and hope it will be a robust watch. I plan on getting a rubberB as well to allow the Daytona to be an everyday and water watch.
