Selling a 116710BLNR and 116621 YM for a 116500?

Another one of these “would you?” threads. Just need to get the thoughts of others. I’m thinking of selling my BLNR and 2 tone YM (Chocolate dial) for a Ceramic Steel Daytona. I’m a bit bored with these 2 and am looking for a little change. I wanted to go with the Oysterflex models but the prices now are too prohibitive.

I currently have a DJ 41 and a 126710 Pepsi rounding out my Rolex collection. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

I would do it. Especially since you say you're a little bored with them. The DaytonaC is and will be an all time great. Go for it.

Nope. Seems like short end of the stick on the trade. Would sell and find the 116519ln to buy.

Daytona 500 will hit 100k in 50 years if you’re still alive to see it. Wait until they stop producing them soon. Some predict a jubilee on a Daytona will be coming up next.

6263 red hit 100k less than 50 years when it sold for 1k back then. Amazing. I expect 6263 to hit 200k in 50 years.


Of course it’s stupid money if you want to to park your money. In 50 years people should make 1 mil

Wishful thinking

BLNR is my favorite stainless steel Rolex, so it would be a no for me.

As an owner of both, I would rather keep both, then again I don't have a Pepsi yet.

If you are bored you have your answer.

That does not seem like a good trade to me.

Why not buy the 116519 used? You would end up with cash in your pocket.

It won’t be a straight trade...
