Heavily polished. Worth low 20s not high twenties. Don't do the trade.

yxc145 · 18 November 2017, 08:29 AM

it's like trading two hot, limited edition Porsche for a Rolls Royce. I prefer sports cars, so I won't do the trade. What do you like?

jed11 · 18 November 2017, 08:32 AM

I personally wouldn’t based on the details/condition of the watches you’re talking about.

I would not do that trade not for a heavily polished 5205G.

tng11 · 18 November 2017, 08:35 AM

Nope. Heavily polished on a modern Patek is a no go for me. Even if it wasn't, I'd still have to think very carefully about it. The 5205G is a hard watch to move. The 116500 and BLNR are almost as liquid as cash!

OgSnowflake · 18 November 2017, 09:06 AM

Nah ...I’d sell the the blnr and peel the stickers off the Daytona and wear that ...that patek is hideous in my personal opinion.

Onikage · 18 November 2017, 09:11 AM

I'd be giving the Daytona some wrist time. A better example will come up if you want the Patek.

toucan · 18 November 2017, 09:33 AM

Nope!!!

subtona · 18 November 2017, 09:35 AM

No

ras47 · 18 November 2017, 10:05 AM

I personally detest PP watches, but that’s just me. The only way I’d make a trade like that is if the values are right (seems so) and if the PP was my grail watch.

May I ask why?

douglasf13 · 18 November 2017, 10:56 AM

I'm not sure I'd do it for a Patek that's been heavily polished, but I'd generally pick one watch over two less expensive watches. That being said, I find Rolex/Tudor to be the right combination of function and style...so, I'd probably just keep one of your Rolex watches and sell the other.

Right on, cue reverse landslide.

No

RW16610 · 18 November 2017, 12:08 PM

If you really wanted a Patek I would consider waiting for another one based on the way you describe it as "heavily polished". To me, that would be the sign I need to run away like the majority of posters here would.

Mon has a point though. Maybe make a thread in the Patek Philippe section and see what some say there.

Old Geezer · 18 November 2017, 12:13 PM

I wouldn’t do it. Don’t know about values but that watch doesn’t appeal to me as much as the Daytona and BLNR.

HogwldFLTR · 18 November 2017, 12:18 PM

Financially, Yes; Patek, No.

Nikrnic · 18 November 2017, 01:01 PM

I wonder what they'd say on the Patek Philippe forum ?

Allanmodel · 18 November 2017, 01:07 PM

Hmmmm......Not for me~~

Egelber · 18 November 2017, 01:38 PM

regrets you'll have a few. 3 to be exact... No WAY

KarlS · 18 November 2017, 02:36 PM

The fact that it's polished is worrying

Don't forget to include your kidney in that trade too

Jowatch · 18 November 2017, 03:45 PM

Not a smart trade.
