Advice Please! Trade Daytona 2-tone Panda dial for Day-Date 36mm on leather strap?

[kosmikboi]

Please help me with this decision, should I TRADE:

Daytona 116523 40mm - Two tone - Panda dial - two tone yellow gold and steel bracelet

FOR

Day-date 36mm 118138 - Yellow gold case - Cognac dial - leather strap

Both are random serial numbers, complete with box and papers. Thanks guys!

I honestly don't think I could go back to a 36 but only you can make that decision

[dhmrs]

I say no. Bracelet > Strap for me.

[sea-dweller]

I say no...

[HobokenRolex]

I'd stick with the Daytona.

Not too much of a Daytona fan; imho it is your call but I too like the DDs better on bracelets.

Same here, I prefer the DD on the president bracelet

[subtona]

Depends on fit.

[RonSwanson]

If your 65+and sub 200lbs, maybe, otherwise the Daytona is a more modern color scheme, size, and for what they are bracelet is preferable to leather. I really prefer dd41 or 40 now days. Also please keep in mind a cognac dial is opposite side of the spectrum from a panda. In my opinion cognac only works with olive/darker skin tones. I for example am pink, so I can't pull off rose gold, or excessively dark combos.

In short I'd need a picture of you and your collection to decide. But no, don't do it.

[TheRolexKingofLV]

Personally I'd stay with the Daytona.

[vukotab]

Well, it's not a great wisdom to tell you that you should do what YOU (and nobody else) feel is right!
I always buy/trade watches following my heart (and sometimes later regret, but that's life, right)...so I suggest the same for you:
If DD sings to you more than Daytona, then by all means - go for it!

Personally (and I'm a HUGE DD fan), I wouldn't do it!
More complicated movement, great size, fantastic design...what's not to like about that Daytona?

Seriously, IMHO you should stick with Daytona, BUT if you WANT DD - then go for it without a doubt!

Anyways, both fantastic watches, so there is not a wrong decision!

[Chadridv]

Another no here!:)

[Al1969]

In my opinion, the bracelet "makes" the DD. Plus you may find out you can't live with the 36mm. I'd stay put unless you go for the DD 41.

[tommy91]

I wouldn't

[Stillwater702]

No to 36. Dd40, yes! Once you're used to 40, 36 just feels small. Another option is dj41 for the same price point.

[playmore009]

I need to see pictures to decide.

On the trade listed I would not do it. The Daytona is the watch on a bracelet. If the DD was the 40 or 41 on a bracelet then maybe.

[RichM]

Keep the Daytona.

[joli160]

The charm of the 36DD is the combination with the President bracelet.
Without it, i'd keep the Daytona. TT Panda is a beauty

[ragingcao]

TT Panda Daytona is my personal favorite so I'd say no. As many has echoed, DD should be on a presidential bracelet. So double no
Not that it matters but monetary wise, I think the DD on leather costs more than the TT Daytona so you may come out on top on a straight trade?

[maximilianmuller]

Keep the Daytona! I would personally regret switching back from 40mm to 36

[Gaijin]

[Maiden]

DD needs the bracelet.

[watchwatcher]

Nope...wouldn't do that one, sorry.

[Dr.Smellody]

No way.

[Jake B]

Can't wear a leather strap over here and I find a chronograph a LOT more useful than a watch that tells me that it's Wednesday, so that'd be a %100 negatory for me.
