Trade considerations

considering trading a blue sky for either a day date or 15500 ap. i would have to add cash. would you do a trade for either of those?

have been considering something similar lately. using proceeds from selling sky d (white dial) towards a WG DD or 15510AP. it's kind of a tough call, mostly cause i like my sky dweller and market is a little soft for selling it at the moment, and proceeds wouldn't even cover half the cost of the references i'm looking at. i've gone back and forth a few times on this, and will most likely just add the new watch i want, then consider selling (or keeping) down the road depending on how i feel then and how the market is. know this doesn't really help you, but that's where i'm at.

I would. I think the sky is too big and the market is trending smaller. I'd move on asap

I wouldn't. There's no universal right answer. Each to our own.

i've been thinking about trading my blue sky d and exp 2 polar as well. Maybe even my sub date.

But, for what? the reason i'm considering is because i wear my steel daytona 99.9% of the time. What can i trade those 3 + cash for that would make me put my daytona down? 5726 nautilus, perhaps? who knows.

I've got 2 AP RO and was interested in the blue sky before but I'd definitely go for the DD. As you live in Florida you can probably go full YG or PG as opposed to white gold

White gold attracts less attention ( i think)

I own all three watches (blue sky, olive DD, blue 15510ST) and I would definitely make that trade towards a DD or AP on a bracelet.

As much as I love the blue sky dweller, I feel that it doesn’t wear as nicely as the other two. The DD and AP are both incredibly comfortable and have tremendous wrist presence.

Hope that helps!

The reason I’m considering doing it is because of how heavy and thick the sky is

I'd do the trade for a DD, but isn't it heavier than the SkyD?

Depends on what DD you're talking about and the amount of cash.

If you want to upgrade, you can go from SS Blue Sky D. to Day-Date to RG RO with full bracelet.
