I’m a yes for this deal

Amanubis · 24 March 2019, 01:04 AM

The 116520 is fairly common. This on the other hand is not necessarily so, and full gold to boot.

I'd say go for it - take advantage of the SS daytona bubble whilst you can!

If it was my

I’d fence the Daytona (he’s lost interest) and go hunting for some good deals on Rolexes. No reason to wrap all your money into one watch. I like having a Rolex to wear for the appropriate occasion; around the house to showtime!

Personally, 3 Rolexes is my number. 4 and above is a collection.

Bladeshot · 24 March 2019, 01:36 PM

Have not seen what else is in your collection. I’ve done that.... traded SS for a gold sub. It was a problem because there were times I wanted to wear SS, for whatever reason.

My advice - have another watch you can wear when you don’t want to wear PM. I love the 116719 and 116619, but I ended up putting more SS Rolex into my collection. Having only one watch, and it being a PM, did not work for me.

I would absoutely trade, if you have others you can wear. Gold sub is magnificent!

Happy hunting!

I currently own 2 pieces.

Black dial DaytonaC & and SubC LN, so in any trade I would still have my steel SubC to wear as a daily. I’m still undecided on the trade but all of your comments have me leaning towards making it. I hate being indecisive! will give it more though. Much much appreciated on your feedback.

I would do this in a heartbeat.

Yes, as long as it doesn't clash with your skin tone, like it did with me. I walked into AD to buy one as my first Rolex, put it on and almost started crying. Walked out with BLNR and I have to say it was the right choice. Since then, I've looked long and far to find the black dial gold Sub in store and I can't find one. No one has it!!!

I love that watch, but not for me. If I had a picture to show everyone, I would. That Sub looked horrible on me. I have a fair complexion (I burn, don't tan).

Alexexec · 24 March 2019, 04:02 PM

Really like both of those so that’s a tough one. But from value perspective you’re getting a solid gold watch that’s worth a lot more than the Daytona so it depends on how much extra is going on top of the Daytona. Won’t be as subtle or versatile as the Daytona but it’s great to have some variety. With that deal I guess it would be easier to replace the Daytona if the YG Sub doesn’t work out when you offload it but that is unlikely as that YG Sub is a stunner, and it’s gold

2nastie · 24 March 2019, 05:17 PM

What’s the definition of a little cash and what year and condition is the Gold Sub.

I personally like the Daytona more as a model vs the Sub, but if they are equal to you in terms of enjoyment it’s all about the numbers....

nuts070 · 24 March 2019, 05:24 PM

Yes please, gold is inherently more valuable than ss. When the global economic melt down happens, those who control gold will rule the earth.

jimcameron · 24 March 2019, 07:34 PM

Hell No.

SS Oyster · 24 March 2019, 08:28 PM

Completely up to your wallet and your taste. Subs are amazing and the heft of PM is something amazing.

You will gain far better legibility over the Daytona.

Just do it like a Nike tee.

Frank McKay · 7 April 2019, 11:26 PM

UPDATE: I just couldn’t part with my Daytona. Something told me that I would miss the watch. I think I could always find a gold Sub via TS for below retail but unlikely I ever get another Daytona at retail. For now at least I’m staying put with these two. Hoping to get a call on the BLRO by the Summer. Really appreciate all of your feedback and suggestions.

Smart move. ADD the sub.

dmy99 · 8 April 2019, 02:12 AM

I would add the sub either way ;)

Change the sub c for a PM sub :)

Sub cs are too common!

Jp28 · 8 April 2019, 02:16 AM

Absolutely yes !

Hard_Six · 8 April 2019, 02:20 AM

I say yes

roadie1 · 8 April 2019, 09:42 AM

Man tough call! I too have a Daytona C. White dial. Thought of offloading with cash for a YG Sub. Ended up purchasing a Smurf and kept the Daytona C. The White gold is awesome!
Still thinking of dumping the Daytona and getting the YG Blue sub for when I want a little more razzmatazz! I never wear the Daytona. I have a sea dweller as my beater.

I’m going to try to save and offload the SubC for the Gold Sub. Daytona is a keeper.

Jg422 · 8 April 2019, 10:42 AM

yes. but..Im not big on having two of the same watch even if in another metal, so if you already have a sub then i would sell that and add cash

Good call. Better to have some diversity. The Daytona and Sub. I have a couple Subs; but I have others in rotation, too.

brandrea · 8 April 2019, 10:52 AM

Good move Frank

If you land the BLRO, you’ll have an amazing trifecta

Sjmoore11 · 8 April 2019, 10:57 AM

Dooooooo ittttttttt!!!

Goldnlivin · 8 April 2019, 11:00 AM

The PM Sub makes a statement on the wrist much more than the SS Daytona IMHO. It’s a true showstopper! It’s obviously hard to come by the SS Daytona now. PM Sub is available pretty easily. I’d keep Daytona, trade off the sub and upgrade to the PM sub! It feels like something you can’t explain on the wrist :-)
