Hey Guys,

About two weeks ago I purchased my first AP Rubberclad Black Dial. I've had a Yellow Gold Black Dial Rolex Daytona for about 5 years now and rarely wear it as it isn't the most practical watch to wear every day. I've thought about trading it or selling it but was hoping some of your brilliant watch minds could hear a few of my ideas and give some feedback.

A little background is that I also have a vintage Rolex Submariner Black Dial and a Cartier Roadster XL Silver Dial. I work in media so I usually wear an Apple Watch to work and mix in the above two.

1) Sell Daytona or do even trade and get AP Royal Oak Chronograph
2) Sell Daytona and get Rolex GMT II Batman and keep the extra cash (~8/9K)
3) Sell Daytona and keep the money
4) Keep Daytona and as I get older it'll get more practical

Best,

Scott

For me - option 1. I prefer the ROC to the BLNR and expect that you will get the best value from your Daytona in a trade rather than an outright sale

I'd get the ROC, altho I do prefer the latest dial styles, esp the white panda for you.

I'm also in the camp for getting the ROC.

Keep the Daytona as nothing compares to it in terms of value..if you Not any urgent monetary situation now.
I luv AP RO/ROOs but the they just weak in resale.
Save up to get your AP instead, dun sacrifice the Daytona.

I sold a 116528 YG Daytona with MOP dial and diamonds and regret it. Hold on to the Daytona for sure.

I like the ROC route - refined and different.

ROC. I have never and will never understand the obsession with Daytona's. ROC blows it away in every regard.

Obsession with the Daytona is hard to understand I agree..
But the way it holds value and even appreciate thru time..is open for all to see.

I agree with getting the panda! It's beautiful. I'd try to keep the BLNR too.

I was going to say the SS D500 should have had this set up but the hype would have been even more unbearable.
