DILEMA - advice req'd please

[Johny]

just sitting the black on top of the green would give you some idea. the maxi dial looks good with the black bezel

[rolexcd]

Definitely go for the maxi-dial. Paul's combination would be a killer for me (LV with Black bezel)!!!

Time for my 4 month old SS Daytona 166520 White Face to go.

It was put on a credit card and the cost is catching up on me.

So, my AD who I have an amazing relationship with has offered me the following :

Submariner Date (non ceramic) for £some pounds
Submariner LV for £good price

This is after serious bargaining and only because I am a friend of the AD.

Opinions please on which watch is a better buy...I am going to sell the Daytona myself, it won't be hard to sell, but it is which watch to buy that poses the biggest question.

Thanks guys...

But, But, Nairn80 you state "It was put on a credit card and the cost is catching up on me." So, please tell why in the world are you just going to go deeper? If this is what your going to do? Sell or not sell you state your going to get yet another new Rolex because the you talked your AD into it and have yet sold your Daytona... I'm confused

i dont want to have no Rolex....in round figures buying a £3,500 one and selling a £6,500 one will fire £3,000 into the credit card.

The credit card is currently on 0% interest, so when I get the cash for the Daytona everything is fine :)

Excellent choice on your LV purchase.
I think the potential appreciation (if any!) of a modern SS Daytona and a LV Sub Date is very likely the same percentage of the current prices.

I have come in for some criticism, or should I say raised a few eyebrows at not wanting to make money on my Daytona, but I didn't.

I have sold it for apx what I paid for it. and it is LNIB.
I needed a quick sale and I get married in 5 weeks.

The right buyer came along quickly and took it.

He has got a bargain, but I am also glad that the watch is going to someone who will truly appreciate it, rather than someone who is buying it to make a quick buck.

Just my feelings...

[Johny]

just glad to hear that you did not take a loss.

It's sold im afraid subject to funds. I have had a lot of interest in it and still keep getting PMs despite me putting SOLD on the thread.

£6350 for a LNIB 4 month old V-Serial SS Daytona White Face. Mint, as new. New clasp.

I thought it might have taken a little while to sell but the interest has been incredible.

Guess if something is the right product for the right price...
