I am contemplating trading my 116519LN for a 228239 WG (grey/slate dial).

It is a straight trade no cash. I know the 116519LN is trading high at the moment.

Any thoughts on moving from the 116519 to the DD?

JSolution · 19 February 2022, 09:35 AM

Absolutely !

stylinleems · 19 February 2022, 09:39 AM

I'd do that trade. The Day-date is such a great watch IMO.

1665fan · 19 February 2022, 09:41 AM

Vote for Daytona here

samuel019 · 19 February 2022, 10:03 AM

I like em both. Tough call for me because I’m chasing a 515/505 so I know they are tough to come by, ANY OysterFlex Daytona.

But outside of that full PM versus a rubber strap watch I’d say absolutely do that trade. IMO you gotta determine 2 things.

Which do you like most. Number 1 most important

Secondly which one is the toughest to replace.

Good luck. On the bright side you’ll have an amazing watch either way.

huncho · 19 February 2022, 10:03 AM

would do that trade without hesitation

rolexpure · 19 February 2022, 10:15 AM

Yep 100% I'd do that.

The Daytona on OF compared to a full president bracelet is like night and day.

Plus the DD has complications thats actually useful and personally I hate watches without at least a date on it.

EEpro · 19 February 2022, 10:40 AM

Another DK2 'should I trade' thread. Sure. Do it.

DK2 · 19 February 2022, 10:45 AM

As I said at the outset, refreshing the collection. I really like the 519 but have the opportunity to get a 228239. I lurk each day, and appreciate people's perspective on if it makes sense.

Cloud Palms · 19 February 2022, 11:18 AM

I think the DD is trading high at the moment, just this time last year you could order any DD even olive dials and rumors are you'll be able to do it this year. No way would I ever trade a Daytona for a DD, MUCH harder to get.

dpt.calvin · 19 February 2022, 12:15 PM

Duh.

Benzsiam · 19 February 2022, 12:24 PM

Trade 116519LN for 228239 WG

It's good trade if they are in the same condition.

MSRP for D-D is about $10k more than Daytona OF.

1William · 19 February 2022, 11:54 PM

I prefer the DD in these models.

watchwatcher · 19 February 2022, 11:57 PM

Interesting. What is the trade value being given to you for the Daytona?

cbondanz · 20 February 2022, 12:21 AM

I did something similar (SS Daytona for a WG DD rhodium). I’m glad I did the trade, as the Daytona was too small for me and find the DD so special with the president bracelet and fluted bezel.

My only suggestion is to be sure you want the slate dial. I have recently traded mine in for the blue romans and couldn’t be happier. I found the rhodium a little boring, as there’s limited contrast between the dial and the case/bracelet.

Best of luck in your decision.

Interesting. Thank you for the input. It is a tough decision. I am taking the weekend to work through it. Both are great pieces.

Danny83 · 20 February 2022, 02:03 AM

I would wait until April

jramarch · 20 February 2022, 07:57 AM

Momo26 · 20 February 2022, 04:15 PM

Good point on the lack of contrast. My question is, can he take it to RSC and have the dial swapped to blue romans if he wants? If that is allowed, slate dial is not a bad option as it comes cheaper. But I am not sure if RSC does that.

On the trade OP, I would do it.

I would never trade such a superb Daytona for a white gold day-date president
One has a million dollars look…and the other of a stainless steel Datejust.
