Which trade would you take?

I have an opportunity to trade my mint Panerai RADIOMIR 3 DAYS MECHANICAL WIND COMPOSITE CASE PAM 504 for:

Two watches combos I can choose:

1. Omega First Omega in Space (full complete set)
2. IWC Fliegeruhr Mark XVII (full complete set)
3. Tudor black bay blue bezel ETA movement (watch only)
4. PAM 114 manual mind white dial (watch only)

Which combo would you choose? After trade I may end up selling both.

Here's my watch.

Any input would be appreciated.

If your plan is to sell after trading take the two with the full sets

I would see keep it, but if you need to sell, go for a complete set.

If it's an option maybe the Omega & cash-- none of the others are particularly interesting IMO. I flipped both a Mark XV & Mark XVI and I must say I prefer either of those infinitely over the XVII (not a fan of the triple date window).

Not sure why you’d flip one to get two to flip two. But, anyway, flippers should focus on full sets.

Those who like them, yes. Those who are fashionista trend followers? No.

No way would I trade that 504 for any of the pieces. It's gorgeous.

None of the watches interest me in a trade. Cash out if possible and go get what you want or hold tight.

Love that blue dial! I was considering to trade in for the 728 42mm Due.

Thanks all I’ll probably just hold onto it for now until I can find a better trade deal.

IMO good move. The recipient of your Panerai in this trade would have been the winner. The IWC and Omega are pretty benign.. Someone got bored with them. Also tougher to sell. Good luck!

Smart move.

I've just had a good look at your pictures again and unless you need the money or you're genuinely out of love with that piece, then do not let it go. I'm not at all a fan of Rads but that 504 (along with a 424) could convert me in a heartbeat.

I would totally keep it if I could shrink the size to a 42mm.

Those were all really bad trade options, especially if you wanted to sell them.

The only really marketable watch was the Omega and those are becoming soft.

The Tudor is ok, but will need big discount without the papers.

The IWC is the least popular Mark ever made...

The Pam114 without box and papers is absolutely toxic. White dial Pams without documentation are almost unsaleable.

Thanks your input. Decided against this trade. Will hold off.

If the 728 fits your needs it’s worth a look. I certainly like mine.
