Icon6 118238 for 116500ln

Thinking about doing this, would require 6k on my end, am I nuts?

I’m a caught up in the hype

Go with what you want. The Daytona will certainly retain value.

Steve - come back to earth!!!! Hopefully this is a temporary itch. Let me ask, how long have you been thinking about the 116500?

I knew it! I love the model, but the 118238 and 6k...I'd hold out. Now that said, if you wake up in the middle of the night thinking you'll see it on your bedside table, then you know what you gotta do.

For sure, problem is I’m self employed and literally have nothing to do since 2/1 until 4/5 so I’m just bored out of my mind!

Actually it’s closer to 8k

Man you have been jumping all over the place.

DD40 back to DD36, now SS Daytona and I'm sure you started another thread for a different model.

Just relax and take your time. Buy what you actually want and desire. Trading these things each time will cost you a shitload of money. I learnt the hard way.

Like I said I’m bored! Actaully I would make out ok on this one, it’s just stuff, things, none of it means anything as much as we pretend it does, the hunt is the fun part

I would make the trade. The Daytona can be your one and only for life. Not so with the DD.
At least for me

I got a chnr on the way too, would
Kind of just a Trade based on lack of attention span.

Probaly better offer scratching the itch by grabbing a 114060 or something with the 8k
