Am I crazy to trade this Lange even-up for a black dial 116500LN Daytona?

Seemed counterintuitive at first but it’s making more sense as I keep thinking about it. Crazy?

That's what I originally thought but the secondary market values are actually pretty similar, I think.

I find that Lange infinitely more interesting than a Daytona. But, you do you.

Why not? Some one prefer a BMW to a Ferrari. Different strokes for different folks

True. But even if I’m looking at them as equal $ wise, one is still far superior as an actual piece of horology….

But hey, it’s your wrist

That’s a very nice Lange. Although I prefer the Daytona over it, I wouldn’t trade it for a Daytona. I’d wait to get the Daytona at retail and enjoy that Lange in the interim.

Lange 1 Time Zone is very beautiful timepiece. I have a new version and love it so much, see attached picture.

The secondary market price for SS Daytona black dial and Lange 1 Time Zone are about the same, so it’s fair trade. It’s better to have both if you can.

ALS just has a new price increase this week.

Lange is a MUCH better watch. More rare. More interesting. Better value. Keep it. Don’t follow the herd.

While the Lange timzeone is not my favorite Lange model I would say unless you absolutely dislike it and want to get rid of to hold off on this trade. A Rolex SS is no match to a Lange. In fact I traded my Pepsi towards a Lange 1.

Good lord, absolutely do not trade a watch on that level for a stainless Daytona. Multiple leagues apart.

I don’t think anyone will dispute that the Lange is a more “interesting” and “horologically finer” watch vs the Daytona. It is spectacular!

However, the Daytona is an infinitely better watch for day to day wearability.

How long have you had the Lange (follow up: are you tired of it?)? Has your lifestyle changed? For example, did you previously wear a suit everyday for work and needed a classic watch but now retired and hang out at the pool all day or tinker on vintage Porsches?

Answers about your lifestyle may be the best information to access which watch may be better for you.

Having said all of that, I can tell you that the black (specifically) Daytona is the one watch I would take if I could only have one watch. Like the classic black Sub, it is a perfect daily driver that can do anything from bathing suit to business suit to tux … but it is much more special than the Sub. I absolutely adore mine!
