Unless you need the money I'd stick to what you have, both are relatively new, enjoy them.

Maybe you need to stay away from TRF for a while, being here everyday means in many cases becoming a chronic flipper.

I'm probably in the minority here but I'm all about that MOP YG Daytona and would much rather have a sub than a GMT. So while in theory swapping is a no-brainer for me, maybe give yourself some time and if the itch doesn't go away, maybe reexamine the idea.

You're in great shape either way though because your current setup is top as well.

What? My opinion would be that it is not.

Exactly this, you have a great pair, try adding later in time

I prefer your current duo personally. Much more than the pair you're considering actually. But that's just me.

That said, I also regularly find myself wanting what I don't have. I know it's because I hang out here too much .

But in all honesty, I think you should sleep on it for a few weeks longer and see how you feel then. If you find yourself not wanting to wear the current pair because you don't have the latter, then make that swap. At the end of the day, it's you that should be happy with what you have.

Agree with others, keep what you have, that's a sweet pair!

Maybe trade the sub for a blue YG Sub and attempt to cure your MOP itch?!

I'd rather have a SS Daytona than a SS Sub. If you consider YG=YG you're really just swapping the 116500 for the 114060. If you did anything, sell/trade the GMT for a different YG piece with a different color dial, Sub in blue, GMT in green, etc. But I think you're in good shape where you are.

I would stay put for now. Been through a few Daytona’s including the 18k MOP W/Diamonds. Very beautiful to look at but over time it was more of a flashy watch that I finally got tired of. I have the same Daytona now that you have. It’s a little race car that never grows old. There is something about that watch that seems to be perfect for me.

No way

You have an amazing collection as is and would be getting the bad end of that proposed deal. The MOP i don't think will age too well either.

OP, i can understand your desire for wanting another Daytona, since you've said you love your 1165oo so much. But exactly for that reason, i don't get it how you have come to think about the Sub instead of keeping the SS Daytona?

All that other math and swapping this for that makes my head hurt.
I agree..

Stay put... Your current pair is fantastic and you already
have a PM !!!

Your Daytona C Blows the PM Daytona out of the water in every
angle , aspect and POV... IMHO...

I think you'll be very disappointed after the fact should you
go through with the trade or swap...

You want a Sub C ? Get it and keep what you have...

Sub+Daytona C+GMT PM = Perfect Sea , Land and Air Trio...
