I would definitely flip. Although I’d get rid of the BLNR and Pepsi instead

So you don’t miss the BLNR or LVc?

As others have stated I think You have to own one Rolex so ditch the BLNR and add cash

I'd totally add the 5164 if I were in your shoes but I would not be willing to let go of the LVc. BLNR won't be needed so no worries flipping there for a huge upgrade.

I would do the trade. Blnr and LVC are a lot more common than we think

Thank you all. It’s sounds like the consensus is to do it, and that the 5164 should elevate any regrets

I'd keep the daytona and flip the other rolexes for it.

Ok people, decided on moving the BLNR, Pepsi 3186, and a Speedy ST for the 5164A!

true, but the 5164A is also pretty common, for a PP at least.

I traded two Rolex (16610 and Cellini Danaos that I had bought for a song) and a GSOTM for my first Patek 5167 and never thought twice about it after putting the 5167 on my wrist. The trade value worked out that I actually came out good on the deal since had the 16610 for approx ten years, bought the Danaos for $2,500 just to see if would fit my large wrist which it didn’t so was stuck with it, and paid approx $7,000 for the GSOTM that I got to wear for over a year. I actually miss the GSOTM far more than the Sub even though it wasn’t as much of a beater with the gator strap.

Once one (or most anyway) owns a Patek they realize what they have been missing out on for so long. The 5164 is one of my favorite steel models for sure. I’d rather have it over most Nautilus models.

Sounds like a good trade. Congrats.

Do you mind PM me who has them (you're in NYC I see). I've yet to get one on the wrist and I'd like to do that to see if I like it or not.

Thanks.
