Traded 4 for 1. Let's see your trades

[soxfan39]

Anyone else downsize your collection and trade multiple watches for 1?

I fell in love with the pp 5168g and ended up trading for a rolex smurf, vintage gold daytona, sd43 and iwc portuguese + a little cash.

Show us your trades!

[espanol]

Your money your decision, but boy I would’ve never, ever done that trade. The LB sub and vintage Daytona are incredible watches.

[Onequik135i]

Those are some heavy hitters to give up too.

[itsinthebag]

I'm really close to pulling the trigger on selling my WG sub + cash for the latest VC Overseas Retrograde Moonphase. Still a little hesitant because it's PM for steel but man the 4000V is gorgeous

Agree 100%.

[KY..]

I know you didn’t ask for opinions, but this is TRF and opinions are like a-holes here as everyones got ‘em.
I’m ok with trades either up or down, but in all honesty that trade makes me cringe.
18k Smurf + 18k Inverted 6 Zenith Daytona + the other watches is a whole lot for that particular 18k PP IMO.
Obviously your watches your decision.
Enjoy!

I traded this AP + other stuff for this Big Red with B&P earlier this year.
My regret is not trading something else instead of the AP, and keeping both.

Traded fully stickered SD43 and JC purchased this summer for a mint white gold gmt yesterday. Had add a little $

[996marty]

Just my opinion but that doesn’t seem like a good trade

[INC]

Weirdest decision I've ever seen here, but it's yours, I hope you don't regret it.

[4reRlxGuy]

I'm also moving from quantity to quality. Need to enjoy and wear what you have.

[Rollon1953]

Congratulation, if you are happy, you are happy. Wear it in good health.

[Carguy87]

Glad you’re happy OP but I’m with the bandwagon…would never do that trade. Regardless of the $ in my book you had a lot of versatility where now you just have a one and done. I’m biased though because the Aquanaut doesn’t excite me, but glad you’re happy with it. It’s on your wrist so your opinion is all that matters!

Haven’t traded anything myself yet. Debating trading my JC someday for the new WG sub (+ cash obviously) but since it’s my first Rolex I also want to keep it, so I’m thinking I may just wait and save the extra money to be able to add instead of trade.

[fsprow]

The 5168 Patek is my favorite watch. I can’t address the economics but believe you will be very pleased.

[ap1]

Yes I’ve done this. What good are all these watches when there is one wrist and 7 days a week. I think 9 is where I want to be. One everyday and change up for sat and Sunday.
Some just look all pretty in the watchbox and go unloved. I say trade / particularly if it’s an upgrade

[Al1969]

3 Rolex(2 PM and discontinued) for WG PP on a rubber strap? Well, your watches and money, but not a trade I’d even consider.

[6SpeedTA95]

WTF trade, makes no sense.

Oof, yeh, right there with ya. I'm all for consolidation, but this trade doesn't sit well with me. As long as the OP is happy, that's really all that matters. Not my wallet or my wrist.

There have got to be weirder! This is a forum of lunatics, after all.

If you're happy, that's all that matters! Congrats

[APhound]

I’m fine with the trade. Your new watch is awesome. I think you’re going to be alright!

I traded two omegas and some cash earlier this week (green 300 and grey side of the moon) I wasn’t wearing for one (Sedna speedmaster) and I’m so happy.

I need to do some more consolidation. I have way too many watches right now.

I’d like to see the maths, I’m too lazy and unfamiliar to look it up. I don’t know if it’s an even money trade, I assume it is. In pictures it looks assymetric, but on paper it may be more even. That Smurf and Daytona are eye candy to me but sometimes less is more.

[Masteryacht]

Ouch.

[Nodzex]

WOOWW, no way dude!

[rcwatchcollector]

That 16528 you should have kept. IMO

I traded 90s white iwc gst + two vintage gold day dates (18238 and 18038) + cash for a 2008 platinum 36mm daydate 118206 about a year ago. Good move for me! Love the updated technology of the newer day-dates compared to the old ones with infinitely better clasp, solid center links, bright white date wheel, and LOVE the weight/gravitas of platinum.

I have no opinion on OP's trade as I don't particularly love any of the watches involved on either end of the trade. I don't understand why people love the smurf for example, or vintage daytonas for that matter, but consolidating for me was the right move! It does take some bravery and accepting a 30% loss on the market value if going through a dealer but the safety of going that route is pretty important in this era I think.

As long as you’re happy. I feel like you gave up a lot.

[Calatrava r]

I have to ask how much was "a little cash"?

Consolidations are always tricky, especially, if the new watch luster fades fast.

The math did indeed math out. All of the pieces I traded away could easily be reacquired if wanted in future and instead of watches I didn't wear and no longer desired, now I'm down to a manageable 3 pieces (one new green sub, one old vintage sub and a big boy pm blue sports on rubber).

[Willyjo]

Sweet Jesus, what did u pay for the PP?

Sounds like quite a lot?

A mint 2021 LNIB is about USD$75k in Singapore.

yes that's about right. If you add up the watches I traded it's a little short of that, which is why I added some cash ($3k)
