Crazy idea?

[Largoshark]

Lately I’ve been thinking about selling my black 116500 Daytona, and using the funds to purchase a VC 1921 36mm…this is a watch that has been on my mind for quite a while now (couple of years at least). The obvious drawback is that the Daytona is a great daily: can dress up or down, durable, water resistant. Meanwhile the VC is more delicate.

The main draw of the VC is, first and foremost, I love the design, pure and simple. The finish is levels above Rolex, and obviously VC as a brand is a whole different ball game. I also live in a major city where muggings/theft in particular has been a major problem. This wasn’t always the case - I used to go everywhere and do everything with my Rolex(es) without a second thought. But unfortunately things have gotten much worse lately. The Daytona is insured, but I am still often super self-conscious walking around with it strapped to my wrist. With the 1921 being pretty innocuous and unrecognizable with its leather strap and subtle design, I don’t think I’d have that problem. Also the Rolex is a 14k watch valued at 2-3x the price. The VC is a 30k watch, and who knows? May even be able to swing a slight discount.

I realize that this is the Rolex discussion thread, so responses may be biased. But would like to gauge just how crazy I am for considering this heh…Thanks all!
