Should I flip my Datejust 2...

Hey all,

I bought a datejust 2 116300 in december 2016. Now I truly want to get a SubC date but don't want to keep both.

I'm right back from an AD and got quoted 5200$ for the trade: I give back my DJ2 with box and papers, pay 5200$ more (canadian dollars) and get a brand new SubC date.

What do you guys think of this deal?

I'm sorry if this isn't the good place to post this on the forum.

That's a lot to give back. I'd wait and save for the Sub

Doesn't sound like a particularly good deal to me. I'm not sure how easy it is for Canadians to buy from US TRF trusted sellers but that's what I'd be thinking.

It's easy to buy, it's just the dollar exchange plus the taxes that make it hard.

Trades don’t get a lot of value for your old watch, so keep that in mind. If you’re willing to part with your DJII try selling it on your own first.

Well if I sort the numbers out... I had a pretty good deal on this one but I think I couldn't get a discount on a SubC with date because ADs don't get a lot of them. It's listed 9750$+tx so 11210$ tx in.

If I pay 5200$, AD is telling me that he's buying my DJ2 back for 6000$ and doesn't give me any discount on the SubC date. Maybe there's a little room for negociation...

Selling at wholesale and buying at retail is always costly. Easier but costly.
