Should I make the trade?

Someone is offering me a BNIB 41mm Oyster Perpetual Blue Tiffany against my Audemars Piguet 15202st + the 15450st blue dial of my wife?

Should I make the trade? I really need your advice here….

How much cash would you have to add on top? If zero, what are you waiting for? Go for it! That’s a killer deal for a OP41.

Thanks for the advice, I was thinking the same but the negotiations are still ongoing so I hope he won't ask for cash on top of it

How much is the Tiffany blue OP41 now? This watch isn't trading for over 100k is it?

Apart from the date on the RO I don't see the real differences between the OP and the RO.

Ok I just looked online and this watch hasn't even touched 40k. This would be the worst trade ever to make.

The 15202 is trading for 90-100k. The 15450 blue is in the 50-60s. Trading both of them would be insane let alone even the 15450.

I wouldn't put any stock in what Wall Street business analysts say.

You’re absolutely right on it being the worst trade ever for the dealer/guy parting with the OP.

OP 41 is 200k(GBP) and climbing at 10-53% per day. I’d absolutely do that trade + cash (not more than 80k though.)

Haha obviously it was a joke, they don't even get sold at 40k$ I think they are being trade around 30k at the moment max but I just wanted to have a little fun because it has been ridiculous the past week.
I even saw some ad on C24 at 100k$

for clarification, someone is offering you a 5900$ OP with a turquoise blue blue dial for your nearly 30,000$ AP 15202 in blue and your wifes 22,700$ AP 15450?
that is the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals.

even if we are counting grey and aftermarket prices, the 15202 is still a 100,000$+ watch, the 15450 is like 50,000-90,000$ on the second hand market.

The OP is nice, but its not worth what people are paying for it.

even if its the OP + the 15450 for your 15202, the numbers still dont work.

The person with OP is making a killing, and you are going to be left holding the bag.

The math is simple: the Tiffany blue 5711 auction has clearly shown that a Tiffany blue dial increases a watch's value by $6M/$35k = 185. Therefore the $5.9k OP should be a million dollar watch in no time. Get it while you can.

That sounds like a terrible trade.

Great sense of humor this OP. Commitment to it is the funniest part of the ruse.

I was so confused for most of this thread. I read through the original post numerous times cause I was sure I was reading something wrong.
