I really love the new Patek Philippe 5212A Calatrava just revealed at Basel.

Would you sell a hulk and batman to fund it. It took me a while to get a decent collection and I’m not sure what I should do.

Batman is 2014 and hulk is late 2018

lucassith · 23 March 2019, 02:55 AM

Don’t do that!!!!! Hahaha. The Batman and Hulk, today is two of the most searched rolexes at AD’s, I think that both on the gray market, will gonna increase so much in value.

Even with all the hype surrounding those two watches I wouldn't have a problem getting rid of them to move to Patek. What I would question is trading two sport models for a dress watch. So if the rest of your collection supports this trade then I say do what makes you happy.

Dusko.Popov · 23 March 2019, 03:22 AM

Actual comic books or action figurines?

Either way, Ill go out on a limb and say if you can ever trade children’s toys that you should have outgrown decades ago anyway, for a Patek, you unequivocally do that deal.

By the way the person giving up the watch for the comic books is an idiot.

Make sure they’re sober.

Roleplay · 23 March 2019, 03:24 AM

Upgrade! I'd do it. I've been thinking of trading my Hulk and Batman for an Oysterflex Daytona. Or Hulk, Batman and LN with a big top up for a PP 5726.

Chester01 · 23 March 2019, 03:26 AM

I just don’t like that reference. If it was for a Lange then yes. However very different styles, so if you like it and have another sport watch in the stable then go for it.

Dr Watches · 23 March 2019, 03:28 AM

I'm not sure that I would trade two extremely reliable watches for one Patek that could potentially require a $1500+, four month long, service every three years.

The cost of a Patek isn't only the purchase price.

q8rolex · 23 March 2019, 04:13 AM

no way!

V25V · 23 March 2019, 04:16 AM

No, would add. If you need the money to fund it and wont miss the other two, go for it.

huncho · 23 March 2019, 04:17 AM

you'd be trading 2 extremely versatile and highly sought after rolexes for a "dressy" watch on a strap. i wouldn't do that personally but that's because i just can't see myself wearing something like that with anything i wear

all depends on your lifestyle

jerryguo · 23 March 2019, 04:17 AM

I wouldn't do it

NLYogi · 23 March 2019, 04:19 AM

Yes

joli160 · 23 March 2019, 04:21 AM

In a heartbeat

orbitalheel · 23 March 2019, 04:29 AM

Unless you are a big dress watch person I'm gonna have to vote no. Especially with the old BLNR being discontinued.

jb335 · 23 March 2019, 04:31 AM

Nope and I love Patek.

dkg1616 · 23 March 2019, 04:31 AM

No way...5712 or new 5726, absolutely

lhawli · 23 March 2019, 04:36 AM

I’m not apposed to flipping your LV and BLNR for a PP. What I cannot grasp is that 2 Rolex watches are sports professional for a vintage inspired, hand printed dial dress watch!

If it was for the 5711 or 5726 I would say GO! In this case I say don’t do it unless you want a dress watch and that’s what you are looking for in a dress watch.

Sure....go for it.

There are many paths from WIShood to WISdom. Sounds like this could be yours.

Montremoi · 23 March 2019, 04:41 AM

Take advantage of the hype and shortages to get a good price off your two Rolex watches. Then get this nice looking Patek

I was thinking the same lol

If actual comics, the Calatrava is my easy choice since it's a beauty

If watches, no way

The Patek looks great!

I love that it shows both the weekday, the date, the month and the week number. Impressive watch. Go for ut

ap1 · 23 March 2019, 05:27 AM

If you have another ss Rolex pro then I’d probably do it. Would def do it for the aqua or naut of your choice

I actually love that watch too. Just wish it had a sunburst silver / white dial to go on a black leather strap.

I find the dial color with brown strap a little limiting as a dress watch and suits more of a casual hipster-ish attire.
