Hey forum,
I love my steel Daytona 116520 but would love a ceramic white dial 116500. Do you think I have a chance in hell of doing a trade without shelling out a ton of extra cash? Maybe someone who scored at msrp and loves the all steel look better? Anyhow I know it’s a long shot but anyone else successfully do it?

Are you looking to swap your used watch with a brand new or used Daytona C?

If used, and judging from adverts here, it will be around 2-3k difference.

If brand new it will be 1-2k more.

Unless you strike a deal with another "normal" member, I suggest that you sell yours independently from the purchase deal as doing such swaps with grey dealers will always result in money left on the table from your side as they need to make margins on both watches. Good luck.

Used Daytona C

I do not think you have any chance of someone doing a straight up swap with you, sorry.

RJRJRJ · 28 November 2018, 03:47 PM

Not a chance, but good luck. You may run into somebody that had the contacts to source a D500 but doesn't have access to the internet.

Rolextellstime · 28 November 2018, 03:50 PM

You never know, give it a try, good luck though

Don't part with your watch. In your own words, you said you loved it. Why would you get rid of something you love?

Add the D500 down the road when you get the opportunity. My two cents.

In the end the one that is no longer being made will be more collectible. Having both would be ideal!

melrob1 · 29 November 2018, 12:56 AM

Not happening. Anyone looking to do that can flip with a trusted seller and get 3-4k back

GradyPhilpott · 29 November 2018, 01:19 AM

That really seems like a stretch to me, given the demand and the premiums people are willing to pay.

Besides, I think it's always a bad idea to part with any watch.

ltmgeller · 29 November 2018, 01:24 AM

I don't think so. Good luck trying, stranger things have happened.

coralfarmer84 · 2 December 2018, 03:22 AM

Nope

Bobby T · 2 December 2018, 03:54 AM

Rather than ask us and do nothing, try and see what happens. You know what they say about opinions.........

zengineer · 2 December 2018, 04:29 AM

If I find a Daytona C on the sidewalk today, I will trade even up with you...so there is a chance it could happen. I like the pre-C version over the latest version by a huge margin.

If I hadn't taken so long looking for the perfect pre-C 520 I'd have one today. They climbed about $4000 in value in a relatively short time. I'm just not paying $16,000 or more for a used watch even if I can afford to.

I personally don’t think trading a watch you actually love for a watch you’d love to have is a good long-term move.

ROLEXster · 2 December 2018, 04:36 AM

I love my 520.
Will add 500C ... if given the chance.

Dr.Smellody · 2 December 2018, 04:43 AM

Why????

faimag · 2 December 2018, 05:02 AM

I would keep the 520...

Justinmg · 2 December 2018, 06:50 AM

Keep what you have, looks better anyways!

Tony1T · 2 December 2018, 08:57 AM

I'd keep the 116520, Its a fantastic watch and look great

Jamie1111 · 2 December 2018, 09:50 AM

Ask rolex. They’re a charity

I’m joking

breitlings · 2 December 2018, 09:51 AM

if it was a zenith...

in seriousness I would just add a 500 and keep the 520. I know rolex aren’t investments but i believe it is a cash alternative.

Jsol · 2 December 2018, 12:24 PM

lol good point

Once you've had....seriously--the black looks far better.

Pauln · 2 December 2018, 12:52 PM

That watch looks great. Obviously you’ll need extra cash for the ceramic. If you have the cash, why not?
