As nice as the Lange A may be, if you don’t want it then why keep it?
Get what you believe you will enjoy the most…

Do you wear the lange as a daily? Part of the Daytona's grey price is because it's easily a daily watch for the masses. Lange, in PM at that, is obviously worth more on a nominal basis, but not a daily wearer for the masses, which is why it hasn't experienced the same % increase as a SS daytona. I would immediately disregard anybody who claims Rolex is higher horology than Lange, especially when it comes to detail & craftsmanship, but at the end of the day, I'm a watch enthusiast and if you prefer one over the other, then go for it! It's why I love the watch game, so many different opinions, but at the end of the day, yours is the only one that should matter!

No

Trade it if you’re tired of it, but not for an overhyped POS.

It depends on your lifestyle and what else is in your collection.

As a one and done… I’ll trade it for the Daytona. But my style is very casual and I like tough watches but YMMV

No way!

But if the US goes to permanent DST, then maybe trade it if all the US cities will be off by 1 hour...

It might end up being an expensive Daytona. I wouldn't. The Daytona is a toy compared to that thing. Big boy pants buddy.

I wouldn't compare a Maybach with a BMW. It doesn't make sense.

If you like the Daytona more and you'll wear it more than sure.
But secondary market values aside the Daytona still has the material and craftsmanship of a $13K watch, (if that), whereas the Lange is rather higher in both regards.
No way I'd do that trade

I would ask myself why I bought the Lange in the first place. And why I am willing now to trade that away for an SS Daytona.

The Lange is technically impressive but delicate and not as suitable for daily wear. I would trade it in an instant for a Daytona.

Pleasantly surprised to see such strong support for Lange in this Rolex main forum.
