Hallo , I have oportunity to change my sub kermit (2008)for Daytona 116520 white dial ,2003 Y series . I should pay 2000 for trade . Any thoughts?

acesguerra · 24 October 2019, 10:54 PM

Personally I wouldn’t do the trade. I’d keep the Kermit

Strictly based on market conditions, it's a very fair trade.

Marast-66 · 24 October 2019, 11:00 PM

I made mistake 2 years a go, let my kermit be servicing by rolex , they do polishing , since then I rarely used watch . Daytona is in very good condition , not polished - like the old style of slim hands

lamnyc · 24 October 2019, 11:03 PM

Based on the condition, yes.

Ich würde den Tausch machen. Daytona spielt in einer eigenen Liga.

I was under the impression that a professional polishing by an authorized Rolex service center would leave your timepiece in excellent condition. Did yours come back over polished? Was it the first polished ever done?

Marast-66 · 24 October 2019, 11:11 PM

Yea , that was first polish, but edges didn’t have anymore that edge , and sides of the watch seems like they are little curved because of that . Stupid stuff, especially when you pay more then 500 €

Gerry62 · 24 October 2019, 11:13 PM

Yes

The Daytona (if in good condition) is spectacular watch
Then over time a classic Submariner
you can add it

Marast-66 · 24 October 2019, 11:15 PM

That was my initial thought. I always wanted Daytona , but back then didn’t have 10 k for a watch . Paid sub for 4 k and now with crazy prices i am in position finally to get SS daytona

1665fan · 24 October 2019, 11:36 PM

I have traded a kermit for a black 116520, thats a fair trade. I did also go get another kermit after that. If I were you I’d grab the 520 then find unpolished kermit down the road if you miss it. I think the Daytona will be worth more long run also

Marast-66 · 24 October 2019, 11:38 PM

I was wondering which one by the time get more in value , but at one point i just realized that I want daytona more then sub

djgallo · 24 October 2019, 11:42 PM

I‘d do it in a flash

Marast-66 · 24 October 2019, 11:45 PM

Anyway I think 2000 € more is fair to pay

Where can you do a trade like that?

Marast-66 · 25 October 2019, 12:06 AM

You have different apps , like chrono 24

If you always wanted an 116520 I say do it. If you just were thinking it’s going to be worth more then I’d skip.

tkc324 · 25 October 2019, 12:27 AM

Def do the trade

WAK4 · 25 October 2019, 12:27 AM

Depends ....are you the original owner of the sub? Just keep in mind if you regret it, getting another Kermit won't be easy. Daytona is 16 years old...any idea on history and condition?

Marast-66 · 25 October 2019, 12:30 AM

I was not thinking about price in long term . Just thinking daytona is nicer watch all together then sub

Seems like a fair trade.
Go for it.
Personally, I would just add the 520 and keep the Kermit.
One polish by RSC should be fine.
