I would but really... it is entirely up to you and what you like better and what fits better in Your collection.

I would be more extreme: I would get rid of both modern GMTs and that IWC and add 16710 as a daily with full set of bezels and a jubilee bracelet and will definitely add the WG OF Daytona as it is an understated and classy watch.

Yes I would do that in a heartbeat. And then you could easily trade the SS Daytona for a BLNR + cash.

Pepsi+BLNR+SSDaytona

Or

BLNR+WGDaytona+$10k





How is this even a question?

To add on to this, you could then take the 10k and get a new sub.

So BLNR+WG Daytona+ 126610LN.

Vs BLNR+BLRO+SS Daytona

Exactly! This truly is not even a question in my eyes, his collection is 100% upgraded if he goes this route (IMO).

This!

No chance I’d sell two GMTs to add another Daytona (especially in white gold when you already have stainless). If it was a green dial, full YG I would consider the trade but I’d rather sell one and add cash.

Just my $.02

I wouldn’t. Everyone I know that buys a rubber strap Rolex, which is only like five people so far, that gets the rubber strap Daytona ends of getting rid of it...keep the pepsi if nothing less.

Not both, no.

And I'm one of the forum's biggest fans of the WG.

End up with the BLRO, the Whitona, and the WG OF.

No. Especially considering that you have a 116500.

But even if you didn’t, it’s not a trade I would consider.

I say no if you have to sell the Daytona and come out of pocket.

Probably not, once you have a batman in your possession I don't recommend letting it go. Especially if it has the jubilee bracelet, it's so comfortable.

I totally get the allure of the OF watches after wearing most of my watches on straps and having done that for a while. I actually considered trading in my Platona for an OF and DD but chose not to as to not being able to replace the former in the future in all likelihood. I prefer the Daytona to either of the watches you're considering trading so I'd do it.

I don't think I would. I have both the pepsi and a batman and a black daytona. All three are great looking watches. But I just don't like straps that aren't metal - my wrist sweats anytime I wear silicone or leather. It's just my personal preference - I just like the metal bracelets.

This is the best play. You will not wear that 116500 after wearing the WG. No comparison!

Tough call. I had a BLNR and traded it plus $ for my 519LN. I couldn’t be happier and I love the watch but giving up both of those is a lot. I’d vote for dumping 1 of them and making up the difference in cash. Either way the 519LN is an awesome piece - don’t listen to the OF haters who likely have never put one on.

Not a chance! I love the WG Daytona on bracelet (not a fan of Oyster Flex) but you have three amazing professionals, no way I would give them up!

I would only sell 1 to upgrade but not 2 and I always make sure that this purchase is really an upgrade more than feeling board and just itching to purchase something.

No. Keep what you have. Pepsi and a Hulk or Kermit would be ideal.
