Possible trade I would like opinions

I have the chance to trade 2 Rolex watches for 1 Patek watch . The first Rolex is a Day/Date II white gold, root beer( Brown) dial full package
Second Rolex is a 1675 two tone, beautiful T service dial, very stretched Jubilee bracelet, naked,
The Patek is a regulator 5235g full package , in mint condition. I I am aware the Patek is not that popular at this time. I also know it's approximate value and the value of my two watches.
I like my two watches and I also like the 5235 G.
I would like to know your opinions on if this is a smart/fair trade.

I would not do it. You have two amazing Rolex watches that are highly desirable and quite difficult to source at reasonable prices. Both 100% keepers in my book!

Just depends what else you have and how you want your collection to look. I personally would do the trade.

I would not do this trade, but I don’t ever feel the desire for a Patek.

You have two lovely watches there. Keep them.

I’m not feeling the vertical subdials of the patek, despite being symmetrical. The wg case combined with the silver dial and subdials also make the watch pale at certain lighting..

The 1675 tt has more charm in my eyes, thus i would not do the trade.

I would, if the patek is a watch you really wanted. But I wouldn’t as I much prefer the Rolex’s you have over the patek

If you have other Rolexes I would consider this trade, altho the Regulator is not really my cup of tea.
