How is this even a thread? With all due respect check your emotions at the door and re evaluate this insanity.

My opinion is absolutely not a good idea

I love Daytona and I owned both 520/500 versions but I would never trade 2 popular watches for 1. Daytona don’t worth BLNR and LVC combined.

Noooo. I would walt. I think you’ll find a white dial Daytona down the road at a fair price. Hold on to the great pieces you have!!!

Nope. I'd wait for a chance to purchase at MSRP and then sell the other two if I felt like parting with them.

No way! You'd be trading two of the hottest sports models with a combined total value MSRP of $18k for a watch that only costs $12.5k. Don't ever do this! Don't confuse value with artificial demand.

If you do, you would be paying dearly for the DayC. Better be sure it's THE ONE.

I wouldn't do that trade. It's lopsided in the other person's favor IMO.

I love my Daytona but wouldn’t make this trade. If you opt to, would you make out better by selling your current pair and then paying premium?

No, absolutely don't do it. The price is much too high. You have two great watches in the LVc and BLNR. This is DaytonaC fever out of control, so slow down, relax and enjoy the beauty of what you already have in hand. Put yourself on a DaytonaC waiting list as they seem to come in within a year or two and then contemplate selling one watch if it makes sense at the time. Good luck with your decision. Cheers!

No way. I love the white dial Daytona but no way I’d give up those two pieces for it. I’m with those who say keep what you have and pick the Daytona up down the line.

I have both the BLNR and white DaytonaC... While both are great watches if I had to make the choice I would keep the BLNR.

I wouldn’t do it! Even though I would love to add a white daytona!!
Let’s do “MSRP ” math. $9050+ $8950 for a $12,400
Nope sorry!

A lot of good wisdom on here. I am in agreement that the two watches you have are the start of a brilliant collection.
Wait and do the "hard time" like most of us and get the Daytona at MSRP. You'll appreciate it even more after the wait, and in the meantime you'll have two GREAT watches to wear. And, one day you'll have THREE. "Hold'em"

You’re giving up too much imo, and if the Daytona would be your one and only that’s an even bigger for no for me.

Think the 116500 is a bit overrated, I think the BLNR is a better overall watch.
