I have been wanting a 116500 in black for the longest time and as everyone know, the grey market price has skyrocket. Just want you guys opinion, I have a 116610LV 2013 and 116710BLNR 2017 with both box and paper. Will you trade both of these watches for 116500LN? let me know what you guys think.
also, I will also have a 116600 that I must keep since this was a present from my wife.

dualcarb · 20 February 2019, 07:57 AM

No, those are three watches that I can happily keep in rotation. A SubC LV and BLNR for a black DaytonaC is not a good exchange.

Heff · 20 February 2019, 07:58 AM

I have the LV and BLNR as well and I wouldn’t consider doing this trade. They are both fantastic pieces. But then again, I am not a huge fan of the Daytona.

Ditto, I am not a fan of the Daytona either. I also prefer the Batman & Hulk more.

Hard pass. Just wait it out or save to pay the premium. The LV and BLNR are too awesome to unload on one Daytona.

GolfJunkie · 20 February 2019, 08:24 AM

There's no way I would trade those two watches for a Daytona.

oldman2005 · 20 February 2019, 08:26 AM

Sometimes two are better than one. I don't think I will trade my GMT and LV for my Daytona

indy16zo6 · 20 February 2019, 08:29 AM

I would not make that trade personally.

I wouldn't trading two desirable for a single desirable watch , the only winner on this is the person or dealer (which is worse) you are trading with

-Ally- · 20 February 2019, 08:36 AM

I would not.

I have owned all three, although now only have the Daytona and BLNR.

subprimero · 20 February 2019, 08:38 AM

No.

Brny11 · 20 February 2019, 08:39 AM

I’d maybe trade one if you had that burning desire. But you have an insane 3 watch collection. I just couldn’t make that trade.

I have both BLNR and LV and like each better than any Daytona.

huncho · 20 February 2019, 08:46 AM

absolutely not

thui0708 · 20 February 2019, 08:47 AM

Appreciated with all these feedback and that is what I thought everyone will say. I should hold on the LV and BLNR for now. Just curious, do you guys think 116520 is a good option if I need to sale / trade of one this watch plus US$4000.

Smart move and no on the 116520. You want the 500. Don’t settle for less.

Exactly. Be patient!

I have a green tag, laser etched rehaut, 116520 dated 2/2016. I see no difference between it and ceramic. Aluminum scratched yes, but the Daytona's SS bezel is just as durable as the PCLs which is level much greater than most expect. Problem is you're going to need a lot more than $4k added cash, since modern 116520 examples are going very close to similar condition D500s. We may see LVs and BLNRs selling $4k less than 116520s now, but you'll see larger bid/ask spreads as well with those watches as a seller than you would the Daytona. I have a feeling you would need to add a lot more than $4k

All that said a SS Daytona is never worth a SS Sub and GMT Master imo

jenedla · 20 February 2019, 09:24 AM

Lots of “no” here, but just because some think these two are more desirable than the Daytona is irrelevant. If you are keen to do it, go for it. Life is too short to not get and wear what you love. Just be sure you love it.

maylebox · 20 February 2019, 09:35 AM

Nope I would only do that deal if I was the DaytonaC owner trading for your watches.

JR16 · 20 February 2019, 09:42 AM

I wouldn’t do any of the above deals / trades .

mml4 · 20 February 2019, 09:46 AM

No to the trade!

brandrea · 20 February 2019, 09:48 AM

Personally I wouldn’t even trade the LV straight up, but I know I’d be in the minority

Robadob · 20 February 2019, 09:52 AM

I have to echo the majority here and say that, to me, would be a terrible trade. Save and buy the Daytona at a later stage.

thui0708 · 20 February 2019, 10:16 AM

Appreciate with all feedback. I will hold until I can find and save enough for the 500.

nick800 · 20 February 2019, 10:19 AM

Nope

rmlovett1 · 20 February 2019, 12:18 PM

I’m a huge Daytona fan....save and trade one...yes. Trade those two for a SS Daytona...no. PM Daytona, different conversation.

I agree; better to go after a PM on an o-flex bracelet.

watchwatcher · 20 February 2019, 12:52 PM

Not a fan of twofers...and especially not for another steel watch.

As Rich said, if we're talking PM, different story.

Hold out for retail! You will regret it after 6 months!
