Using my SS datejust as part of a trade
Trying to expand my collection. Just interested in thoughts on using my SS datejust white dial in partial trade for another piece such as a BLRO or similar. I also have a Daytona that will remain part of my collection.

Yes if Name was called off the list. No if not.
Or maybe still yes if the watch you pay a premium for is soo good you never want to wear another watch again. :-) |

However, if you're trying to expand your collection, why not keep the Datejust and add the BLRO. The Daytona, BLRO, and Datejust are a nice varied trio that will set you up for a Sub or Sea Dweller to round it out. Cheers! |

If you can afford it keep the Datejust.

Do you want the Datejust? Do you wear it? Is it a 36 mm model?

If you can find someone willing to work with you on a fair deal, I’d say do it. You can easily get a DJ later on if you ever want to add one later on

I would go for it. As others have mentioned already, DJs will always be around.

Using my SS datejust as part of a trade
With the premium that you would have to pay plus the hit you would take on the DJ I would highly not recommend this route. Unless you can get a deal too good to be true like a BLRO at retail then would never do this. The DJ41 will be a future classic. Don’t buy into the SS sports models hype. The BLRO is selling for about $16k. Retail is around $9k. So a 7k markup. You will lose Around $$1.5-2k on theDJ41 on a trade in. Dealers need to make money too. So you will practically be giving your watch away. $8.5-$9k difference. I’m sorry the BLRO or any Rolex model is worth that kind of hit on a modern Rolex.
