Thoughts on trade? 116618LB for 116519LN

[jb335]

What do y'all think I would need to add ($) in a trade for my YG Sub 116618LB in exchange for a WG Daytona 116519LN?

Assume everything else is equal between them. About a year old, same condition, b&p etc.

I know I would need to add cash, but how much in this market?

Personally, I would not sell the 116618LB for the WG Daytona on OF

I need to find someone that feels the same way as you but who owns the WG Daytona! lol

[rmlovett1]

Have both. To answer your question, if it were me, it would depend on what else is in the collection. Or is this for a one and only?

I also have:

Sub Date 116610LN
YG Daytona 116508LN (black dial with champagne subdials)
GMT Pepsi from '84 16750
Royal Oak blue dial 15400


I am attracted to the WG Dayton on OF because I could totally daily it and it will also be a PM while doubling as a sporty versatile piece.

Whatever your heart desires! Would not add cash as part of the trade, as you are trading down imo

... Would be a very nice incoming though

I can see why you would think that but the Daytona has a higher market value.
It does hurt my feelings to add cash when trading a full PM for a PM on rubber.... but the market does not care about my feelings.

A full yg bracelet + cash for a rubber strap? No thanks.

[vandyologist]

Depends on with whom you're trading. If to a grey dealer, you'll probably get low 20s for your 116618LB and be paying $30k for the 116519LN. If with another collector, the market difference is only about $2k.

Like the Daytona way better.
Tough call. Would def make trade if I got some $$$$ as well.

I'll be giving money in this scenario, not getting money.

[peterpl]

Never. If I ever get a full YG Sub with the blue dial I'd never trade that especially if your adding money on top. No way on earth.

So you're saying I should think about it some more?

[droptopman]

Prefer Subs so I am biased. Would not do that. Ever think about acquiring an Oyster Flex and rotate it on your existing Daytona. Like 2 in one. Bracelet or strap.

[Kiddodoc]

Nope, don’t like that trade at all if you are adding cash.

[Liquid Snake]

Why not go for a two tone Daytona? It will save you quite a bit of money and is less money than a SS Daytona by a long shot.

[locutus49]

No, do not like that trade, even if it were a straight-up one for one trade.

100% think about it more. Sub is way nicer imho.

Put down the Whisky when your contemplating these things - I've done some stupid things when I'd had a little too many. LOL

[Jona]

As others have said it would be darn tough to part with a full PM bracelet for a rubber one. I have a 116618LN and would never part with the bracelet in a trade like that. Frankly I don't care for the design, nor cost of the OF.

Keep the YG sub, and trade out your YG daytona for the WG daytona on OF

Simple.
Don’t do it then.

You’re getting hosed.

I have the gold subc and thought about trading it for the WG OF but just wasn't enough watch there to replace it, not by a long way.

That is a very logical option...except my 116508 is my favorite watch by a mile. That is the one in my collection I hope to never trade or sell. Love it.

But what you are saying, makes total sense.

[Vipes]

I wouldn’t do it. Much prefer full PM bracelet. How about WG Pepsi or Smurf as a daily?

I feel that any of your PM pieces at the moment are daily wearers, or can be if you choose to. That said, given your collection, do you want 2 subs or 2 daytonas? I guess it’s just personal preference.
I’d choose to have that sub traded towards a YG DD40 or same for the YG Daytona.
I just prefer to have one professional YG and one classic YG, (that’s just me)
And you’re left with three white metal watches and two YG pieces. I wear YG fairly regularly...YMMV. Like I said, very personal choice, but all good outcomes!
Good luck!

I daily my YG on weekends or in any scenario that doesn't involve me going into the office. I just do not feel comfortable wearing YG at work. That is part of the appeal of the WG Daytona, I could wear it to work.

And I definitely prefer having two Daytonas in my collection over two Subs (at least two 6 digit Subs). I have made that decision, just not sure how I am going to get there.

Well then...the YG & WG Daytona will make a fantastic pair!

+1 Best of both worlds. Is there any reason this can't be done?
