How badly do you want a 5711?
I personally think the 116508 is a more special watch, but if she doesn't get wear, I couldn't blame you for doing it. At least you will in theory have paid much less than what current grey market asks for a 5711. |

Once you get the Nautilus you will realize it's not anything special. Don't fall for the hype.

Bad trade. I like the 5711 (I prefer the 5712), but only at MSRP.
If you’re not wearing the 116508 (and I’m assuming it’s because it’s yellow gold - too showy?), but you like the Daytona, then how about trade for the WG Blue dial Daytona and put some money on your pocket. Conversely, look to trade for a Rolex meteorite GMT.

Newer 5711 are seeing asks @ $80K plus now.
This could hit $100K...there certainly is enough money and demand chasing them.. |

Both in production.....
I would go with the 5711..... If the Daytona 116508 is discontinued.. No traded, I keep the green Daytona...... I had a similar offer like you the only difference is... My a mint discontinued Daytona Zenith 16528 (unpolished, original owner, with all the bells and whistles)... The offer was even trade Daytona Zenith 16528 for 5711 complete set... or $70,000 cash...... I turn the offer down because it was my first Rolex plus it was harder to find a mint unpolished complete set.......

Maybe my memory is bad but it seems like, a few years ago, you could buy PM Daytonas for a big discount from list, even relatively new ones. There's no guarantee that the Daytona won't be selling for $30K in the secondary market 3 years from now when, theoretically, the Nautilus price has fallen out of bed and is only worth $40K.

It is impossible to get a 5711 new from an AD these days unless you buy a high end grand coplication Several weeks ago I visited an AD in south of England, I asked about a 5711 and they said they didn't have a list only sell those for customers who buy high end grand complication pieces |

Of course you should do it. The 116508 is a tacky and unclassy watch.

This.
I would make the deal. I love thin watches. I love the finishing on the Nautilus compared to the Daytona. I like the dial better. SS is the more practical metal for a everyday sports watch. YG I would rather have a DD. Ultimately only you know the answer to this question. Who cares what we think ??? Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk |

Thank you all for the input and feedback. I ended up making the deal as I’ve always loved the 5711 and knew I would never be able to obtain one from a Patek dealer or boutique and as prices have only continued to go up I didn’t want to set myself further away.
The Daytona is beautiful but I realized I won’t wear it nearly as much as the nautilus. Those who know, know! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
