Would you

If you had an opportunity to add a pink gold vacheron 4500 at retail price (54k), would you sell a white dial 116500ln and a Bluesy 126613lb to fund the vacheron? Pics for attention

The VC is a stunner for sure.

I’ve tried it on in SS several times, but there’s always a nagging doubt. Something tells me I’d become bored with it.

Maybe in PM it would stick … but I still wouldn’t do that trade

Vacheron all day. That blue knocks the bluesy out of the water. All gold as well!

Absolutely, a gold overseas blue dial at MSRP for overinflated daytona panda and bluesy is a no brainer, all day every day. Did you actually get an allocation OP or is it just daydreaming?

I would figure out how to have all of them in the collection.
I would not want to give up the white daytona and blue sub.

Let’s just say I’m hoping to get a phone call in about 6-8 months. Maybe sooner

I still have a little bit of time to figure it out. It would just be easier to trade the two and put up little if no cash on top. I am contemplating keeping them all, but really don’t know if I would even wear the bluesy anymore if I had the vacheron.

Interesting take Brian. What’s holding you back about the watch?

Pink gold 4500V at retail for a Daytona and Sub? Any day of the week, twice on Sundays. Do it.

Value aside, I'd rather have the bluesy alone over the VC, so perhaps I'm not the best opinion here :)

If you have not tried on the RG VC in person, I would do that first and take it from there. I tried on that exact same piece just a couple months ago with the intention of buying it.. after having it on the wrist, found it just wasn’t for me. Absolutely beautiful in pictures but I don’t know if it’s my skin tone or what, but it just didn’t wow me enough to drop the dough. I wish it did because I really like it! Good luck and I hope you love it and get it!

Oh and to answer your actual question… if you love the VC, yes I think I would trade those two. Altho I’d try to keep the Daytona somehow… I have that and it’s my easiest wear

Big VC fan here. But gold is hard depends on skin tone and how it works. In this case I would be a bit hesitant to swap these two.
