I am getting that little itch again to buy something different so I am looking for some input on a decision I’m trying to make. I m thinking about trading my TT GMT Master II plus some cash for a close to new pre-owned TT Daytona with the Panda Dial. I seem to be drawn to that Panda dial. My GMT is a P serial number that I have had since about 2003. I own some SS pieces and just want to keep a TT in the stable. Would be interested in hearing some opinions on trading or just keeping what I own?

I would make sure I was not going to miss the date function.

Fleetlord · 11 December 2017, 02:39 AM

What is the cash difference?

Andrés G · 11 December 2017, 02:41 AM

Depends on the extra cash.

Although I no longer care much for TT, I find the TT Daytona one of the nicest watches Rolex makes. They really stand out.

I also prefer the aesthetics of the GMT to the Daytona, but that's just personal preference

Colin10101 · 11 December 2017, 02:48 AM

Al1969 · 11 December 2017, 03:01 AM

Definitely keep the gmt.

douglasf13 · 11 December 2017, 03:02 AM

I’d find the GMT function and date more useful than a chrono, and I think the GMT is also better looking in these guises, so I say no trade.

rebel_1 · 11 December 2017, 03:05 AM

I’m not huge fan of TT except for the SubC Smurf that I flipped and regret!! I’m not a big fan of chronos, so I’d keep the GMT.

watchwatcher · 11 December 2017, 03:10 AM

What are your other steel pieces?

Huge panda fan here, but it would kind of depend on what else is in the collection.

Seaswirl · 11 December 2017, 03:11 AM

I like Daytonas, just not tt Daytonas. The all gold bezel is a bit much for me versus the black bezel insert on your tt GMT or tt Subs, which tones down the bling. I’d keep what you have.

dcash0615 · 11 December 2017, 03:14 AM

Keep the GMT.

The deal is OK....would be better for you if it was closer to $5K on your end.

I love that dial, just not sure about it in the 2 tone reference. It is nice though...

But if you like it, green light money wise as they are both softer references since they are
2 tone. If you were trading a nice Pepsi for that Daytona....FULL STOP, NO.

Also have a SS Submariner, Panerai 1312 and a SS Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine chronograph

All great input. Almost thinking now to just keep it and continue saving for just an additional piece.

Not trade

willbangor · 11 December 2017, 03:32 AM

Love the Daytona but not in this instance

Ruud Van Driver · 11 December 2017, 03:40 AM

I’m a Daytona fan and not big on GMTs but I wouldn’t make that trade. I’d sit on my hands for a bit longer if I were you, keep saving and see what happens after Basel 2018.

Life is short. Live for the moment and make the trade.

Wobbly · 11 December 2017, 03:51 AM

I have a GMT like yours, which I love, but when I purchased a Daytona, I thought it was to fussy in TT and had to go with SS.

Rocco21 · 11 December 2017, 04:03 AM

Trade

AK797 · 11 December 2017, 04:05 AM

I would for the Panda.

harryrichthomas · 11 December 2017, 04:07 AM

Keep GMT for me

topjimmi · 11 December 2017, 04:14 AM

No trade , keep the GMT
