Batman to Ceramic Daytona

I have a 2018 Batman and have just agreed to trade it for a Brand Spanking new 116500 Black Dial

The deal was 116710 BLNR plus £5k , I am comfortable with the deal . I get some will say maybe sell the Batman private then buy a new Daytona but I already have had one recently rom my AD so this works for me .

feel free to comment

That seems a very good trade deal.
From a dealer I’d have expected that to be nearer £10k (or even a touch more) as many will want to bid trade money for Batman but sell theirs at retail mark up.

I think you’ve done extremely well

That’s a pretty good deal considering what Daytona’s are going for Paul

I wouldn’t turn down that deal. Without knowing more about the other party (they probably have someone after the BLNR) = win win

Based on todays new UK prices:

Batman £7,750
Daytona £10,500

You are looking at a premium of £5,000 + £7,750 - £10,500 = £2,250 to trade from a used Batman to a brand new Daytona!! I would bite the dealers hand off to be honest.

Cracker of a deal and really doesn't make any sense for the dealer to offer you that.

Although I’m not a fan of the Daytona, I sold mine earlier this year, that is a good deal.

Congratulations.

Having owned both the black and white dialed Daytonas I can honestly say in my humble opinion the black is considerably better. I realize I am in the minority here but I just can’t get used to a white dial for any brand, model sports watch. So congrats on your decision. Losing the Batman is tough though. That’s an awesome piece also. Merry Christmas.
