Sell Daytona Ceramic or Lange Up/Down for Lange 1 MP?
Hi all. I have started recently to downsize my collection and to branch out from Rolex by getting a Lange 1815 Up/Down White Gold and a VC Dual Time.
I really like the Lange 1 Moonphase, especially the Rose Gold version, I like also the black dial/white gold bu it looks less legible. To acquire this timepiece, I would have to sell some watche(s) of my collection. Current I have in my collection: High-end non Rolex: VC Overseas Dual Time, Lange Up/Down WG Rolex: Rolex Daytona Ceramic White, GMT Master II 'Batman', Submariner 14060m, OP 39 White Others: Reverso Duoface, Zenith El Primero Tri-color 38, Omega Speedmaster FOIS, Tudor BB58 Blue The two obvious candidates to raise funds at this price range are the Daytona or the Lange 1815 Up/Down. Option 1: If I sell the Daytona, I will end up with two nice Lange watches, one more dressy in RG and the other one WG Up/Down would be easier to dress down and mort sporty (Chrono look without pushers) but of course not at versatile as a steel Rolex with a bracelet. I would still have two Chronos (El Primero, Speedy) and other steel Rolex/VC sport watches Option 2: Keep the Daytona, sell the Lange up/down but more difficult to sell and would have to add cash. Option 3: Keep the collection as it is for the moment and just try to enjoy more the Lange up/down. Also, I am on the waiting list for an AP RO, and will probably sell the Daytona down the road (if I don't trade it now) if I get the call as between a Daytona for which I paid a premium vs the AP at retail, I would feel more comfortable with the later, and it will give me the opportunity to add more diversity to the collection. What would you do in my position? Did I miss any other option? happy to hear different opinions :) Thanks. |

You cannot go wrong with any of the answer but to me…………
If you didn’t have any ASL then I would’ve suggested keeping the daytona and add the ASL MP But since your existing ASL is a chronograph, I would keep the daytona and trade the WG up down ASL for the MP. That way you have a more diverse collection

IMO I greatly prefer the up/down to the L1 MP. The L1 aesthetic doesn’t do anything for me and if I really just wanted it for diversity’s sake I’d do a similar GO and use the extra cash for the RO

I would sell the Lange up/down, Tudor, and Omega and get the Lange 1 MP in platinum. The platinum is more special IMO and a variety of straps will look good on this piece.

would keep the daytona and sell the other rolex instead, either batman or the sub as it's similar (compare to daytona) Lange quality is on a different league to rolex

I'd sell the U/D for the L1 MP, almost feel one is the starter for the next main.

I would sell the up/down if I were in your shoes.... however, you don’t sound attached to the Daytona so for you it sounds like a good move

Option 3. Grass is greener and the Lange resale will bite your @ss.
