I would do that. If I lived in the US I would probably already own one. I just do not see an abundance of platinum Daytonas available in Asia Pacific.

I would trade for it, but if it were me, I'd trade the Day Date + the Yachtmaster. But either way, I'd trade. The Platona is an unreal piece and the most interesting modern Rolex by far IMO.

Once you were platinum all other PM's kind of pale in comparison.

So true!!

I would make it work if that was what I wanted. Buy right, trade right and it should be a good transaction for a great watch. I would move whatever I was not wearing and also what I would not wear once my new watch arrived. Every watch on the list can easily be replaced if you want, so I would let the wear determine my trades.

YG GMT and YG SUB look alike so I would def. trade in one of the 2 watches. Also remover the YM and add some cash. Keep one SS watch as a low profile watch.

Platona
YG GMT
SUB No date
DD2

perfect 4 watch collection.

I'd save up for the Platona if you can. Despite having owned several platinum watches (not Platona yet), I continue to enjoy ALL PMs including YG.

I guess it depends on your general personality, do you like to have a wide assortment for your rotations (i.e. shoes, suits, cars ) or do you have your first foremost? I personally have first and foremost, so I'd trade the gold.

I seem to take so long to decide that when I do, never look back but I rotate all my watches daily.
That said, unless you will not be wearing any watch, I would keep them. If Platona will get all wrist time, trade.
I am much like 123Blueface and Rolex Addict. I only buy what I really love, so there is no selling my babies.

I would get rid of the YG Sub and pay the difference for the platinum Daytona.
