Good trade. No $$ on top

rmlovett1 · 3 December 2018, 01:22 PM

It’s a good trade if you’ll love wearing 1 all gold Rolex vs two great sports models. I’d consider this trade for sure..IF...I had another SS sports, or DJ etc....
I wouldn’t personally wear it as my daily (JMO).
As far as money on top....for BNIB from an AD, would look quite a bit different, I’d suspect, than from a grey dealer, especially for a trade. You’d definitely do better selling both pieces yourself first. Both are easy sellers, the LV would sell quick vs the JC though. Good luck!

Doesn't seem like any $ on top would be required depending on who you're working with. A trusted seller is going to take a premium and will hit you on your trade-in value. If you do the trade at market rates your looking about even.

I'd do it if you plan to wear the gold daily. If not then keep the SS.

Yes 100%. Especially since it appears that you still have a 116500 remaining after the trade... I’d say to be sure to get the blue sunburst dial since you’re giving up the green one on the Lv

I wouldn't, but only because I don't think I could pull off a full YG piece...that's a serious bit of bling to have as a daily.

It's a tough call, you've obviously thought about it, but it's a big decision to give up 2 of the hottest SS sports models around at the moment.

Sorry if that's not the answer your looking for but good luck anyway.

Yep. Do it if straight up.

peterpl · 3 December 2018, 04:59 PM

I would 100000% do that trade. Especially if that is a direct trade with no money on top that is working in your favor.

Even if its a few G's on top its still a good trade.

This is my current collection

I would still have the Daytona/GMT/DJ41

I would do it in a heartbeat. You would be left with a superb collection, In fact I probably couldn't think of a better 4 watch collection.

AK797 · 3 December 2018, 10:02 PM

Can't remember exactly how I bought this but I must have done a similar SS trade up and was sooo worth it.

LuminousMaximus · 3 December 2018, 10:06 PM

You're almost forced to do it because you have asked the Question, and if you don't answer it you will never know...

Just buy the PM Sub from one of our trusted sellers and if you don't like it after a few months, sell it privately or trade onto another piece(s).

Great collection.

I would do a one for one swap, but not a two for one. I'm sorry, the two for one has just never worked out for me.

mistercoach32 · 4 December 2018, 01:17 AM

I would with zero to very minimal money on top. That would be an incredible collection.

Dompropat · 4 December 2018, 01:39 AM

I would make that trade all day, every day. As others have said, add zero or minimal cash.

R!$ · 4 December 2018, 03:20 AM

Excellent idea

Pw92676 · 4 December 2018, 03:32 AM

If in your shoes I would also make this trade. Good luck with the decision.
