opinons...2 for 1.... DAY DATE

[Canook]

ok guys im having a dilemma ive got my Daytona 116523 diamond dial and my SD4000 which i dont wear very much
I love my SD but they Daytona not so much
My local gray dealer wants my SD bad as he knows he can turn a profit on it lol!
He also knows ive got a thing for DD40/41's and has now offered me a brand new DD40 for my 2 watches and id have to top him@$4500USD on top

He tried same deal on my Patek but im not parting with it .... yet lol!

Wht do we think of this as a deal?

Im not emotionally tied to either one of these watches(i do like my SD4000 but im not gonna die without it) and figured if i miss having a daily beater ill steal my Hulk back off my brother or just but a Sub LN


thoughts????

Sell the Patek and buy used at a 50% discount. Keep the sub and chronograph. Problem solved.

[Hard_Six]

I'd do it. But I also like the DD40 a lot.

[zjd168]

price wise seems about right. You need to decide if to let go the sd4k.

[Houston77]

I'd do it. Which particular DD?

i can choose whatever combination i like as far as dial colour goes... if i want the diamond baguette dial ill have to pay and extra $2500usd ontop

[DESH]

love my dd40 with diamond baguette(S)

[Tampashooter]

The inability to fine tune a watches fit on the fly, for me, is now a non starter. Hence my dd40 is gone. Choose wisely.

[Bello_nyc]

Do it!

[joli160]

Nothing beats a DD, go for it

[BZA]

Vote for DD40 and maybe $500-$1000 less cashD

[Bt122]

Other than negotiating the price on top, sounds like a perfect trade for you. Watches you don’t really wear for one you would love and always wear.

[travisb]

Sounds like you're not really attached to the 2 in question so why not.

[Snow-Dweller]

Remember, there are big discounts to be had when buying a DD40.

[1William]

I like the DD and if you do not have strong feelings on the other two watches, why not.

[AK797]

DD40 for me.

[rmlovett1]

Given your current collection, I’d definitely do it!

[mineral]

I like the DD too and I think the Rolex collection won’t consider complete if without DD in collection

[Lemieux66]

Do it, but negotiate the cash amount.

[Dpop24]

I’d do that!

With the LV in reserve or perhaps a new difficult to get LN I'd consider it. Are there others that you've got as well? I personally love my 4K.

[Londonboy]

What are the numbers for the watches involved? Roughly. I saw the $4500 extra cash on top, but there's wiggle room on a new DD isn't there?

You have plenty of other watches, and 2 that you don't wear for 1 that you're expecting to love is a good collection move imho

Nothing like a DD

[BNA/LION]

DD DD = Day Date Diamond Dial!

Double D's!

[dafuture]

Doesn't seem like a terrible deal if that's what you want. I'd try to knock down the cash on top, but might as well go for it otherwise.

[watchwatcher]

I'd go for the DD40, as long as you're sure you won't be tempted to buy those two back...especially the SD.

[Canook]

yeah is the SD im struggling wanting to part with... i do actually like it, ive got a guy wanting to swap my YM for a Subc and some cash his way so maybe if i do that i wont miss it so much....

I dont wear the 116523 at all so no love loss there.....

I think ill be happy with the trade but my biggest problem is choosing a dial..... he'll get whatever one i want but i just cant choose lol

[nyc2la]

I’d hang on to the SDc. Tough to let this future icon go, IMHO.

i know what you are saying and i do like my SD but i dont buy my watches for holding onto to sell for a profit.... i get them because i like them....
Maybe ill just trade the Daytona and see what cash price difference he can come up with and negotiate from there
