i have a sea dweller z series and a two tone blue sub. Im going to trade my white gold daytona for a patek 5712/1a plus 10k. Anyone think i'm crazy , tell me why or why not , thanks

Ohhhhh.. I dont mind having a patek but...Its just a sin for me to trade in a WHITE GOLD DAYTONA over a Patek....no offense for Patek owners but a white gold daytona is a lot better looking than a Patek..by the way what kind of Patek is it??

I don't know Patek's that well, but just be happy no matter what you choose to do.

I personally can't imagine trading a WG Daytona for anything....! Much less 10K boot!

I think you're crazy--figuratively, of course.

It's your call, though.

I say go for it! Thats such a great deal! The 5712 is such a stunning timepiece, I would love to get one sometime in the future.

I agree.

WG Daytona production is constant. You don't have to wait for one. The 5712/1A has traded as high as 54k at auction to a low ,now of about 31900. I see no upside in the WG Daytona, although beautiful it is by no means rare and is trading as low as 18k. There was a time not long ago that such a trade would be laughed at by any Patek owner. In addition the supply of the 5712/1a is, so far as i know , non existent , you still can't get one from an AD for list.

you have answered your own question.
Run for gold me thinks.

Post some pix afterwards!

Go for it...there will always be more WG Daytonas to pick up in the future.

MSRP for the 5712 in May was US30K. You're getting a good deal as these pieces increase in price soon as they walk out the door, and are high in demand with waiting lists more exclusive than Daytonas. Yes, it's a steel piece but the movement is exquisite and the uniqueness of the design is second to none.

I believe you're getting a good deal, but be sure to check out everything about the 5712 under a loupe, and of course, box and papers are a must.

Good luck. I'm actually quite excited for you!

post a picture of the Patek please for us!
It's good to have variety if that sings to you.

Good trade. I'd do it in a flash.
