Friends, what is your opinion on trading my Rolex Daytona SS white dial for AP15400 (new ). I like both but want to know some your expert opinions.

Thanks,
RM

No

Ceramic Daytona? Not likely.
Pre-ceramic - maybe.

lecorsaire · 23 March 2018, 11:05 AM

I wouldn’t trade a white ceramic Daytona for it. The 15400st is much more available than the Daytona. If it were a blue dial 15202st then yes.

Takonwong · 23 March 2018, 11:05 AM

I didn't do a direct swap but sold my 116520 white dial Daytona and ended up with a silver dial 15400st. Between the two, 15400 all day long.

PLNYC · 23 March 2018, 11:07 AM

As much as I like the 15400, I wouldn’t do it.

MP5 · 23 March 2018, 11:08 AM

Great problem to have! 5 digit, prolly, ceramic, no

lhawli · 23 March 2018, 11:11 AM

AP15400 for me.

If there was an icon amongst icons this is it.

Yes.
Daytona looks outdated,and talking about scratch magnet Daytona pre-Ceramic is the worst.
I did trade my Daytona for AP26331ST Panda

TimeToWatch · 23 March 2018, 11:31 AM

I own both.

No

Etschell · 23 March 2018, 11:32 AM

ugh that is tough. leaning no.

Derkuhlmann · 23 March 2018, 11:34 AM

I’d keep the Daytona but that’s a win win choice either way.

dera · 23 March 2018, 11:35 AM

I traded my 116520 to a 15400. Daytona is crap. AP is on a whole another level.

I’d trade a 116520 but not a 16520 or 116500.

Agreed, couldn't have said it better myself -- 15202st > 116500ln > 16520 > 15400st > 116520.

No

GarageBMW · 23 March 2018, 11:55 AM

never

drmizzou · 23 March 2018, 12:01 PM

Wow. I just looked up the reference numbers for the APa and realized they are definitely not for me - they do not appeal me at all! Keep your Daytona!

makkena65 · 23 March 2018, 12:39 PM

thanks so much for all the help and advice. So if I have to trade better go with white and not black?

Are you referring to the dial color of the AP in this question?

If I had a white Daytona C, I would only consider trading it for the AP if it was the navy dial. Assuming you appreciate the look of the navy dial, this would be the only acceptable trade on a $ value basis. The white, grey, and black dial AP15400 are readily available at boutiques. If they don't happen to have one in stock, you should be able to get one within a month (yes, even as a first time customer). The navy dial is the only tough one to get new and only one that really comes with a price premium (for buyers who cannot get it directly from a AP boutique).

makkena65 · 23 March 2018, 01:03 PM

sorry yes the dial color. I love blue but the price is super premium

tomchicago · 23 March 2018, 01:04 PM

Yes. What have you timed lately with the full chrono function?

Paul_I · 23 March 2018, 01:04 PM

I would not.

Ticknaway · 23 March 2018, 01:08 PM

Maybe go on the AP forum and ask if they would trade that model for a Daytona.

speedbird90 · 23 March 2018, 01:08 PM

Never trade a Rolex for an AP. Please.

AK797 · 23 March 2018, 01:14 PM

I'd really try to add, both of these watches are hot.

You're absolutely correct about the blue dial AP. But from some of the prices I've seen (both for the Daytona and blue dial AP) and the easy availability of the other dial colors brand new, I think that would be the fairest trade. Btw - are we talking about a used AP here in this trade or brand new?

jrs146 · 23 March 2018, 01:35 PM

I’ve owned both and love the Dayton’s 100x more than the 15400. Now a 15202... maybe!
