Never traded before, but.....

...thinking of trading my Breitling Bentley GT (white dial chrono) and cash for an Exp II 42mm polar. I'm pretty sure the audience will encourage this , but who would be the best to make this trade with? Tourneau, TRF seller, etc...? Thanks in advance for everyone's opinions and suggestions.

BTW, I'll probably wait to see what kind of changes may occur to Daytona since I love the white dial SS watch but would really like to see a date function added.

Turdneau = worst. Absolute worst.

TRF Seller? Better...if he deals a lot of Breitlings.

Best bet? Selling outright to someone in the market for Breitling.

I'd prefer a trusted TRF seller. Just look through the Breitling listings to see who deals with them a lot. Then see if they can source what you want at the trade/cash level you want.

Perhaps a Daytona - you already have a dual time zone piece in the GMT.

Just try to sell your Breitling because you are going to take a real bath on that piece if you try to trade it, like 30 cents on the dollar.

Since you have some time I would try and sell it myself first. As others have said, you are going to loose a lot of money trading that watch. They don't hold there value as well as a Rolex does. Try and sell it and when you do pay cash for the Rolex.

Online dealers ask $5-6K
eBayers ask $4K-6K; recent sales avg $4K-ish

But a seller who buys from you would prolly offer $2500-ish...
