Trade for a 2023 116500?

I have a 2023 Batman and a 2018 Sub date both complete set and I am thinking of trading both plus $6K-$7K for a Panda Daytona. Is this a bad idea?

I think it is yes.

I’d take the cash, buy a Speedy Pro and call it a day

For a new 2024 126500, it sounds about right. For an older 116500, add half the cash or less.

I would just look for a panda daytona at reasonable price, buy it, wear, it, hold for a bit, then decide which ones to sell after.

Price seems low to me for your two watches and high for the Daytona. Then again watch purchases are more emotional than rational, what you want is your choice.

If the Daytona is your dream piece and this is your only viable road to get it...
I say Go for it!

The Daytona is more special than the Sub or the GMT.

Pricing might be right. For me doing the trade is worth it because the Daytona is much more special.

Speaking for myself would not do that trade,and IMHO it is a completely a bad idea,the Daytona got to be the most over hyped Rolex watch ever but today hype sells today.

I'd do like others said and buy a daytona and later decide what goes.

I have all 3 (BLNR, Sub, Daytona)... I'll say the Daytona would be the first one I would get rid of if I had to. Absolutely no way I would trade in a BLNR and a Sub for the Daytona. Don't get me wrong the Daytona is a nice watch, but the novelty of having it wore out within a week of owning it. After that it just became another watch in the rotation.

Would not do. Many people have done it and have been disappointed in the end - myself included. Agree 100% with Peter. The Daytona is just "ok". I would not trade a BLNR for one... unless (maybe) it was a straight trade - and that's not happening.

I'm with T-Bone - Get a speedy pro hesalite and keep your BLNR. It's a much more interesting watch than the Ceramic Daytona imho.

But hey, if you love it - you love it ~

Horrible. 2 SS watches for one watch that is not that more at retail.

From a value perspective, I wouldn't do that trade. Appears low value assigned to your pieces and significant premium on the Daytona.
At the end of the day, do what your heart tells you. FWIW, I would want to have the Sub or the BLNR alongside the Daytona, not just the Daytona.

Sounds like a really bad trade. I’d keep the two you already have

Two incredible watches plus quite a bit of cash for a great but very hyped watch. I wouldn't.

I'd just get it from an AD if thats possible for you. If its not possible, just forget about it, some you win, some you loose.

There are other watches and if you are incessantly thinking of it, do the trade.
