Didn't you mean this?

In other words, if you don't like the one's you have, do the swap. Otherwise, keep your current two.

[sea-dweller]

I would not.

[gmh1013]

Swap ASAP

[versatile1]

Don't be silly!
Do it before the day ends!

[Htab]

I would do it in a heart beat

[Hairdude1]

I also say do it!

I remember an old saying that seems appropriate here: "if it sounds too good to be true...it probably is!" I wont believe it until I see the pics. Sorry

Hope you got the trade!!! Post pics!

[atila]

I've heard more than a few people who had both Daytona's (the older ones with the Zenith and the modern ones with in-house movement) all say they preferred the Daytona with the Zenith movement - I heard this across the board.

Just some food for thought.

[travisb]

Absolutely I'd do it.
Almost doesn't make sense as to why he proposed that trade..

[Vincent65]

can't think why not

I'll defo go with you guys advice and i'll post some picture once i've done the deal as i need to wait and make sure my Franck Muller came back with Tip Top condition before i'll accept his offer.... thanks everyones for the inputs....... will keep you guys updated.....

[bigrustypig]

Without batting an eyelash, I'd swap.

[Burgo]

And there's no conditions? Like he'll do that swap if you buy something else? If so that's a storming deal!

[Roller07]

Why can't my AD offer trades like that?

[inspires]

Sounds too good to be true. Your AD would be on the losing end.

[mjclark32]

I also would have done it

[Silvio Mosiello]

I'm going to go to my car dealership and trade in my 08 BMW and moped for a new m6 and m3 no cash on top

All i need to do is swap with him outright.... ( I don't need any CASH for my upgrade...sounds too good to be true...lol) would you guys do it ???
Here's mine:

I can't imagine how he made this offer, but I would not think twice. Unless your Daytona has true sentimental value which is sounds like it does.

this cant be right?..right?

Sorry I'm just not buying this. It just doesn't make sense. I can't imagine that the AD or Franck Muller service center didn't polish the watch prior to pressenting it back to you. A couple of scratches is a relatively easy fix for most AD's or any service center for that matter. To note the white gold crazy hour has a high polish finish to it which is even easier to buff and polish. Also, what warrants the couple thousand dollar loss for the AD... A couple of scratches that can be buffed out...

This isn't a deal that sounds too good to be true, it's a deal that doesn't make sense.

[Brian J]

OP posted again adding to the story and clearing up the confusion as to why the AD would offer this deal. Post #75

[dannyp]

Not sure whether I'd do it, to be honest, but that mostly has to do with preferring the 40mm Explorer II over the super case LV.

This also isn't necessarily that bad a deal for the dealer; the Zenith Daytona can go for as much as MSRP on a new Daytona and ADs may charge what the market will bear for a used piece, while Rolex would flip if they marked up a brand new one.

So it seems the loss he's taking on the LV is his total cost in this transaction, which sounds approximately the same as the discount offered on a new watch as a make good on the damage to the FM. Perhaps he's even banking on those accumulating some collector value in the not too distant future.

[Sam Philip]

Do the swap

[Osbong]

Nike...just do it.

[Ticking Away]

It's better than the offer I would present to you.
