Would you flip a gold Rolex for a Daytona C?
Hey,
I have a gold Rolex worth 15-16k, The new Daytona C, in Brazil will have about the same price. Would you filp the gold for a SS Daytona? Thanks for your opinion! |

No what the hell for a tarted up 16 year old Daytona with a slither of ceramic and slightly different dials.And anyone paying over retail for a ceramic Daytona must be sixpence short of a shilling.

I would not. But if you don't care for the gold one and prefer the Daytona. Make yourself happy.

No sir! I would not recommend that deal.
Sell your gold watch, and hold onto the funds until a Daytona-C comes at MSRP. If you can get $2-3k out of the deal, I would recommend going for it though! |

I agree with the Doctor. Hold on to your PM piece and pick up the C when possible.

No, no, no. Never ever flip gold for steel. Never.
After the steel hype normalizes, you will be a long way from another gold piece. A long way. |

No not in my lifetime however adding the Daytona is the way to go. Both can function in any collection.

If you're not happy with your gold watch then sell it and buy Daytona @MSRP.
Straight up trade/swap NO WAY. |

Can you get that much loot for the gold watch?
If so, sell it on your own, get on a list and wait. If that is not to your liking, then heck yeah. Why not? You only live once. And you can't take your money with you. Its not like you are taking a loan out to pay for a watch that you cant afford. You are simply swapping something of higher value to get something else first. Time is worth money. So if you have more time with the DC, that has value. I say go for it.
