I was recently offered a 16523 Daytona with Zenith movement in exchange for my 16610LV. The question is,should I make this trade? I am a fan of Rolexes 2 Tone but I'm a bit concerned that because the watch is not SS it won't hold any value. Does the movement make it any better?

NO...hold on to that LV...TT Daytona are terrible value propositions...

traf · 29 December 2016, 03:13 AM

I would not make that trade. Putting aside the value of the Kermit is on a huge positive trend, aesthetics alone, I prefer the LV.

I would not. The 16610LV is too interesting a watch and is a perfect transitional piece in the Submariner history books.

Keep what you have

testrak · 29 December 2016, 03:49 AM

I believe 16610LV has lower production numbers than the 16523? Keep it and buy a 16520!

TT Daytonas are not in huge demand. The Zenith movement really isn't a big deal as all 16520's have them, but SS models get attention similar to SS Subs and GMT's.

A trade in this case should be because you really, really want a TT Daytona, not because it is the best for future value. The TT Daytona will not increase dramatically in value where the LV very likely may.

If it was for a SS Zenith the answer could be more difficult.

dualcarb · 29 December 2016, 04:10 AM

Keep the sub

droptopman · 29 December 2016, 04:22 AM

Good advice here. I own a 16523 white dial so I like the model, but I agree with others that the LV may be more of a keeper. I bought mine right so the depreciation is already taken out of it. I do not think it will depreciate more, but also do not think it will appreciate. It does wear nice as it is quite a bit flatter and lighter than a Sub, but honestly, I like Subs much better. I wanted a white dial in the collection and like TT so it serves as a pseudo dress watch. Not too sure how long it will stay around. It is certainly not on my never move list...

tommyhtown · 29 December 2016, 04:40 AM

I share similar idea with another poster: keep the Sub LV and buy a 16520.
