Trade the old for new?

Marrk · 3 July 2016, 06:58 AM

Probably not, but define "original."

ar.parask13 · 3 July 2016, 07:01 AM

Nope

Never

Black Bay Dan · 3 July 2016, 07:16 AM

No. One is a dive watch which I use the other is not (albeit I wish I was a racing driver).

No way! A solid vintage trumps a modern iteration all day every day.

Jocke · 3 July 2016, 07:27 AM

Wait a year and you will get some cash too if you really want the DC over a icon.

JP(Canada) · 3 July 2016, 08:54 AM

Not a chance. I wouldn't in a million years. (I once flipped a complete and original 5513 about 15 years ago...probably the dumbest watch decision I've made...ever. And that's saying something, cause I made a few)

Porter · 3 July 2016, 08:58 AM

Noooooooooo!!!!!!
Keep that beauty till the judgement day!!!
Note: just find the right bracelet.

TickTopia · 3 July 2016, 08:59 AM

Nooooo. If you really want the Daytona 500, I'd buy it outright. Don't trade your 5512 for it.

mudd · 3 July 2016, 09:04 AM

I would not.

77T · 3 July 2016, 09:05 AM

Is it a rhetorical question?
Or has an AD or TRF TS made an offer?

Hell no. They don't make the 5512 anymore, whereas they've just begun making the 116500 and will be for several years.

AK797 · 3 July 2016, 09:10 AM

I would, unless the Sub had sentimental value too.

masyv6 · 3 July 2016, 09:13 AM

No way.

subtona · 3 July 2016, 09:16 AM

if you feel that you are over the 5512 and would rather a modern watch without issues and something you can wear without concern, then... yes.

Etschell · 3 July 2016, 09:19 AM

There is no way I'd do that

kneedeep · 3 July 2016, 09:27 AM

No way, Jose...

withthesword · 3 July 2016, 09:30 AM

a massive resounding NO!

swils8610 · 3 July 2016, 09:30 AM

Nope. The Daytona will be made for many years. The Sub isn't.

ref1655 · 3 July 2016, 09:35 AM

so far the polling looks to be about 12-1 NO...that said, the 5512 is a vintage model you might someday regret having let go. it was the first Submariner to incorporate crown guards* & was only manufactured for about 15 years (as compared to the highly sought-after 5513 which was around for close to 30). from a collector's standpoint, it will only increase in value.

the 5512 is also the only true 'Steve McQueen' Rolex as it was the same model that he actually wore.

* the 5512 has slightly thinner crown guards which sets it apart from all the others.

amillionyears · 3 July 2016, 10:34 AM

Heh, I've got a meters first 5513 that I'd do that deal for in a heartbeat but it's mostly 'cause my 14060M gets so much wrist time.

Jaycnyp · 3 July 2016, 11:39 AM

NO!!!!!! Hold on to it and wait for the Daytona!

brian89 · 3 July 2016, 11:39 AM

Ok ok no deal :)

Al1969 · 3 July 2016, 11:49 AM

Hold on to it and figure out a different way to fund the Daytona C.

robustbambi · 3 July 2016, 11:53 AM

I would not.

Tony64 · 3 July 2016, 12:00 PM

Ok, I'll buck the trend and say I'd consider the trade. Maybe if there was special sentimental attachment or if the vintage piece was in pristine condition, I'd reconsider.
On a side note, can Rolex replace the pearl for you or would that require a new bezel?
