A few questions for you:
1. Did you purchase the BLNR and Sub at retail from an AD or from a grey dealer?
2. Are these the only two watches in your collection?
3. Why do you want the Daytona? Do you want a chrono complication, are you marking a milestone achievement, are you downsizing collection?

I would not do it because I think the Daytona is an overpriced and over hyped piece. I know, because I have owned them all in every metal. Hard to read and use the chronograph functions. Too small at 38.5 mm for me and just hope you don't need a service as the time and cost will make your eyes water. Even if you go forward with this trade the money is not right and you are giving up too much cash to make it work. Stick with what you have or a BLRO or a Sky-Dweller is a better buy. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

I wouldn’t do this trade.



I have a Daytona and love it…. It’s a great watch and I don’t see myself ever parting with it but I’m still unsure if it’s because I love it that much or because if I do part with it, getting another at retail is close to impossible…. I do think that the watch falls in the over rated, over hyped category.

Don't do it mate. Trade the sub and add the cash. I have the 126500 and it's lovely but it's not worth the trade you are proposing. Not even close.

Thanks everybody for your input, I have decided not to do the trade. Even though I have paid retail for my watches, everyone is right about giving up too much. I am just gonna wait and save up the money.

If its your dream watch go ahead, but I would not. I did a similar trade in the past and regretted it.

For me the Daytona - even though its a grail piece really wasn't for me. It took a while to discover and figure mine out, which ended up being a Pepsi but this just goes to show you it's up to YOU.
