Hello there,

I currently own an 1803 Rolex President. It was just serviced by Michael Young. It is from 1972. Has original Hidden Clasp Band. Please see photo.

I am currently looking to trade this piece. I have had some 1680s come my way but yet to have any that really sing to me.

I have been offered on the other hand 2 Tudors, A 2018 Harrods Green Edition New unworn and a Blue Bay New from Jan 2020 along with 2000 Cash.

What do you think about the Tudor deal?

Danny83 · 20 April 2020, 09:31 PM

I would not do that deal if I were you

winst · 20 April 2020, 09:37 PM

There is only 1 winner in that deal and it is not you.

Alexexec · 20 April 2020, 09:44 PM

Not a chance

Depending on condition of the Tudor watches not a bad deal with the cash, seen DD of that age sell from around $8500 to £9000 some less and in the real world not the best of sellers.

Maybe its a sign to do that trade and then buy a DD40? :)

kwingy · 20 April 2020, 10:21 PM

I would pass unless it was a trade for another daydate!

BigBlue1 · 20 April 2020, 10:34 PM

After all it is woth twice it’s weight in gold someone told me maybe a bit more.

Oyster Sauce · 21 April 2020, 05:59 AM

Sansom · 21 April 2020, 06:06 AM

I agree. We can argue about preferences for the watches involved on both sides of the trade, but strictly financially speaking, I think this is a very fair swap.

nachopc · 21 April 2020, 06:44 AM

I just bough a black bay, it’s a great watch but is not a Rolex, no question about that.

Maybe because it is a bad trade?

Tudor is nice but it's not a Rolex, I would keep the DD and source the correct hands for the Buckley dial.
