Should i trade in my gold rolex for ss?

[shirtguy]

I currently own a wg dj on strap. i can sell it for the price i paid for it 3 years later.

i paid 45% off list

so heres the q- should i sell it and buy a ss sub and a dj with adding some money or keep the wg dj cause its not everyday that someone owns a gold rolex?

Do whatever makes you happy!!! This is the kind of thing you should ignore everyone's opinion on and just go with your gut!!

Do you want two watches or one?
Do you want a gold watch or two stainless steel watches?
Do you have the cash to add?
Do you not like the white gold datejust?

No one can really answer your question.

2 is always better than 1 and besides the wg dj isnt common so what are my chances of getting back what i paid for it?

[swils8610]

I would do it...

[Daytona-Dan]

Personally, I would keep the gold but I fully understand the want for 2 watches, just remember that you can only wear one at a time.

From the options you gave, it looks like you simply want a Sub and are willing to downgrade your DJ to get it. DJ and Sub go very well together and you'll be covered for both sport and dress

[shirtguy]

i simply want another rolex
however should i keep the wg dj on strap because its not common and who knows if ill ever own a precious metal rolex again?
plus i got it for so cheap nib from an ad 45% off list is unheard of

[JoeCool]

Can you afford the sub without selling the dj? If so, then you are set. You will have the ss sport watch and the gold strap watch.

This is a fair comment, depending on your finances, trying to get another gold one at a later date is going to be hard. This is partly the reason why you need to choose so carefully, sometime you only get one shot.

If you really want a sub, and you're ok with the downgrade to you DJ then go for it! Being a WG DJ you may not even notice the change

2ss. There is something special about a SS Rolex with an oyster bracelet.

[shirtguy]

the only reason i got it in the first place was because it weas extremly cheap

chances are it wont go up in value and all im taking is a $500 loss for 3 years wearing it daily

Then you should sell it immediately, unless you're convinced that it's appreciating.

Ignore the basis! What you paid is irrelevant. All that matters (financially) is its future value.

I'd get the Sub even if you have to wait for it if you are able.

[shirtguy]

i highly doubt that the wg dj will appreciate
it was discontinued cause it wasnt much of a seller

cant afford to just get a sub with keeping this one but if i sell it i can use the cash and add a couple of dollars and get 2 ss

[VICI]

Pic of the DJ?

[Mystro]

Trading gold for SS both with the same name on the face seems wrong to me. They make refrigerators out of SS.

[landroverking]

Being WG I would keep it. If it were YG I'd flip it.
Pics plz.

Sounds like you like the idea of a gold Rolex, but don't like the gold Rolex. For me, Gold doesn't go with sports watches, and I never understood the point of white gold.

Let's see some pics!

i would sell, and get to ss. im not much of a precious metal's guy myself.. maybe if i had a lot more $$ i would be? idk lol.

im mostly into divers anyway, and the idea of a tool watch....

[datejusting]

Keep the wg dj; can always get a ss sub or dj.

[AK797]

If it was a YG or RG sub or Daytona then I wouldn't but a WG DJ then I would, esp when you can see how nice the new sports ceramics are.

[Billywiz]

Because its on a strap I woud do it...on a bracelet no way I woud...goid luck.

[doubleinfive]

Keep the WG and buy the SS Sub and DJ at 45% of list...you've done it before...

[jshepard]

I would... WG looks like SS anyway, might as well get two watches than one...

[shirtguy]

pic of the watch is at my user name

Owning a gold watch is a lot more than what it looks and feels like.
If you've never had one, you won't understand.
There is a reason gold is so expensive

[BaltimoreBrian]

See, here lies the dilemma of collecting watches. While you may love a piece, we do not not always have the money to buy a new piece that we love. And sometimes, changing the from what we had to something new that we will be excited to own is the change that is made. Then that leads to longing for the piece that we sold, and the vicious cycle starts all over again ;-)

[subtona]

2 completely different watches... Very complementary together

+ gold is nice!

& like mike said, how about some pics?
