As long as it will make you happy. That is all that matters.

The GMT Kid · 17 August 2009, 11:15 AM

No. I think it would be a mistake.

Tools · 17 August 2009, 11:17 AM

There's a watch for everybody...

But I wouldn't do it.....

forza1976 · 17 August 2009, 11:24 AM

no way, sell the explorer and get something else if you going to go down that route.

smallcandle · 17 August 2009, 11:26 AM

No. To be fair, though, you're asking people on a Rolex forom if you should trade a Daytona for a watch of another brand (gasp). But if it makes you happy, then follow your heart.

MortgageGuy · 17 August 2009, 11:30 AM

No way!!!!

skywyy · 17 August 2009, 12:57 PM

short term it will make you happy, long term you will persuade yourself to buy another Daytona or a different Rolex

landroverking · 17 August 2009, 01:42 PM

I would not ...but the Daytona is one watch that I would not part with in my collection.

nektar · 17 August 2009, 01:53 PM

keeppp it

Starwalker · 17 August 2009, 02:38 PM

Not for a pannie, no way, imo. Save for another watch..and then the real question would be IWC vs Pannie, and i would vote IWC.

moviefreak · 17 August 2009, 02:48 PM

IF you want to do it.. its ok.. no big problem.. we all know you will be buying another Daytona at the end..

Was thinking the same thing .....

Mrdi · 18 August 2009, 01:21 PM

Nope.

Mrdi · 18 August 2009, 01:22 PM

Funny how the girl across the street always looks cuter from across the street.

Watch Fan · 18 August 2009, 04:41 PM

I wouldn't do it. But like someone else said, dude, it's a Rolex forum.....so what would you expect us to say?

Art 1 · 18 August 2009, 08:36 PM

No.

Bon Temps · 18 August 2009, 08:46 PM

No need to keep that watch. I'll be glad to take it off your hands!

train-time · 18 August 2009, 09:10 PM

You have to buy and wear waht you like and are comfortable with. The hunt for the piece you don't have often takes on more meaning than a piece you already have sitting around. IMO, if you sold the Daytona and and bought an IWC or Pannie, the thrill would soon be over, not to mention the long-term value.

Welshwatchman · 18 August 2009, 11:54 PM

You should almost be able to swap it for a 5001 and a Pam 111.

I still wouldn't do it though.

does anyone know what the best free site is for selling Rolexes?

LOL....so true!

greekbum · 20 August 2009, 01:33 PM

No I wouldn't. Put the daytona in a safe and borrow a panerai for a day if you need 2 days and tell me where your heading next? Is it me? I just dont get the panerai thing?I mean they look good and all but what justifies the price of them?The movement?................ROFL To be honest I had the itch to see what it was all about and I built a homage 1 with all swiss parts unitas movement and all for under $500.00
Its my beater watch now.

..er...TRF

And to the OP, don't do it. You'll just end up regretting it.

Singslinger · 20 August 2009, 06:49 PM

"One man's meat...etc''. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer to your question. If you think the IWC or Panerai is going to enjoy greater wrist time than the Daytona, then go for it. Others (myself included) wouldn't do it, but others aren't in your shoes. Do whatever gives you the most satisfaction.

Carlo Miguel · 20 August 2009, 06:53 PM

Thank you guys for all your replies. I guess at the end of the day, its better to add than sell.
Guess have to start saving now.

TRF Boys, you guys are the best.

thanks for the friendly advice!!!

When perusing your current list of watches ..... and giving your question due consideration ... I have to ask.

ARE YOU MAD?

I did exactly that and BIG regret. I sold the IWC & Panerais and now solidly back to Rolex. Couldn't be happier but certainly regret the loss of some serious cash...

kjb · 20 August 2009, 10:39 PM

I sold my first Daytona and bought a panerai 112 a while ago. Ended up buying a new one 6 weeks later and lost a grand. I really like the Pam but it was/is a little big for me with a 6.5 inch wrist . There is something about having a Daytona or wearing the Daytona that you will miss. First off it great looking watch but maybe its a ego thing. Not sure but Good Luck
