If you don't wear the Daytona will you wear the new one? Love rubber straps and soft gold buckles?

I love the Daytona, and I love the OF, and I love PM Daytonas.

But ... I'm not jumping at that trade.

I think the 116520 would scratch my Daytona itch sufficient for me to want to keep the BLRO.

The 116520 is 75% of the way towards the OF (on some weird scale). The BLRO is a good 35% (on that same weird scale). So you're already over 100%.

Since you're asking for our opinions, I'm with Padi.

However, it seems like you have your mind made up, so go for it if you want.

My first reaction was to say no but since you have a BLNR as well, I would be ok with this trade.

Thanks to everyone chiming in! I’ll keep the Pepsi and try to source a Jubilee bracelet for it to distinguish it more from the BLNR, sell the 116520, and save my lunch money to pay up to the 126519

I'd think about doing it for a WG GMT with a blue or meteorite dial, but not a Daytona.

I thought so to at first but then read he has a BLNR.

I’d be OK with being Pepsi-less if I had a BLNR.

I would not and I own a OF Daytona. I agree if you really want the OF Daytona move from the old stainless one. Keep the GMT's in the collection.

Now if you were trading the Pepsi and the Daytona for a WG Pepsi with meteorite, I could get behind that thought process haha.

I would not. The two watches you would be trading are great and the Daytona on the OF is just ok to me. If you were going full bracelet on the PM Daytona then it would be a consideration.

I would trade the SS Daytona in heartbeat for a ghost but keep the BLRO and add cash. I sold my SS Daytona and bought a 126519 and it is currently my favorite watch to wear. The look and feel is SO much nicer than SS but you can wear it anywhere without being too flashy. I also love my Pepsi on jubilee and end up wearing those 2 watches the most. Do this and you will not regret or ever miss your SS Daytona.

I would do it for a 5212A. However, I don't see the value in moving to a PM Daytona on OF.

If you're getting the OF from an AD, you should have plenty of time to think about it.

I wouldn’t. And I want the OF Daytona. Those two just seem better than that one.
