Thank you guys so much for all the opinions... Looks like the results are in.

7 say keep
11 say trade
3 are indifferent.

It is true, I will miss the jubilee bracelet... Even as a kid not "knowing watches" I can remember being drawn to the look of a jubilee bracelet.

I kind of look at it like this... I love the classic look of my DJ face, but I really don't love the size for everyday. So the trade off in my opinion is a watch I love the look of, and would wear every day.... Besides I've enjoyed my current DJ thoroughly since I've gotten it.

Sounds like you want to trade, so my vote is to just do it!

I would keep yours, it is a much better looking watch and I prefer the jubilee bracelet.

Your Datejust plus $3000.00 ($500.00 per millimeter) for a DJ2 sounds like an awful deal to me. I would not consider this deal, however if you must do it to be happy then go for it.

Edit: Well congrats, that looks fantastic on your wrist! I hope you're satisfied

If you made the trade, would you miss the watch that you traded? If not, do it.

If you think there is even a slight chance that you will miss your watch that you are considering trading, and I mean even years from now--it is a bad deal. Don't lose a limb to think that you will have a larger or better one by doing the deal. No, you will be losing a limb.

Edit: I guess the matter has been settled. Wear it in great health!

The new watch looks great!

I'm surprised by the deal, as I would have thought you'd have to pay more in the trade.

Thanks! I will continue to dream big! It really makes me so curios as to why some people are astounded by this being a "good deal" while others claim it's outrageously unreasonable. I honestly don't think it was unreasonable in fact I must say.. I love my new watch so much ... I would have paid more if I knew I'd love it as much as I actually do.

You made the right decision and you know it. Everybody else should live with it.

If that is what you want you should go for it, but I think you should keep your current one.
