Advice needed: Sell 116500 to get 116519LN?

Hi fellas,

Would like to ask for advice, I have a Daytona 116500 white dial, would you sell that at a good price to get the 116519LN Daytona white gold oysterflex?

I really like the white gold oysterflex, but at the same time, having a hard time letting go of my SS Ceramic

Thanks!

Is it the dial or the band you like? You can always get the Oysterflex strap for your 116500...

I am in the same boat. I just sold my 116500. I'm going to do it ...the 116519 is mesmerizing. I think it's perfect. People will think we are crazy ... But I think it's an amazing piece.

isn't 25k a good price already even for oysterflex daytona? what is normal discounting of this model?

Because from what I know, from around here the WG oysterflex, little to no discount because all SS sold out no stocks. For yellow gold oysterflex, can get good discount.

Sorry - 25k for the rose gold daytona Oysterflex is what my AD is offering. I should have clarified.

This is about what you should be paying. Personally, I’d do it but would prefer wg.

thanks for the inputs guys keep them coming. i am also leaning towards yes but my problem is, if I will have seller's remorse for my 116500, I know it is impossible to buy one back at a good price. at least the oysterflex will be easier to get

I'd find a way to keep panda and get the oysterflex. This will allow you to make an informed decision about whether to keep or sell the 116500. If you keep it and never wear it bc you can't take the oysterflex off, then you know what you need to do.

If you like it , go for it. I had the chance to try the wg on at a GTG and I really liked it. I have spent a lot of time considering if I would do the same thing!

I’m in the same boat except I sold my 116500. My AD is willing to give a 10% discount on the watch but psychologically, I have a hard time paying $26k for a watch on a rubber band. The 116519 looks great but the sundials are hard to read and I think the white 116500 is more legible.

I regret selling the 116500 and I am on the quest to get another one. If an AD offered me a 25% discount, I would buy it in a heartbeat but you can get a black and white 116500 for a price of a PM OF Daytona.

Not on a oysterflex. Imo you have a grail watch and one that can’t be beat. Gold is gold but you will regret it. Buy a oysterflex for your SS and call it a day. Best of both worlds. The SS looks miles better then the PM. Usually I would say get the PM like with the Pepsi. But there is a reason the SS model is so expensive on the grey. It’s a statement piece. You have to be super lucky or a VVIP to get one these days. You can get a PM oysterflex any day.

I considered doing the same but I didn’t. The WG is great but just a little too sporty to me. I ended up keeping my 500 and buying the YG on oysterflex.

Don’t ever part with a 116500. You’ll regret it. Save up for the 116519LN

Personally I'd keep the white dial as I prefer the white face, plus its harder to get than the PM. You can walk into Harrods and pick PM tomorrow. Plus I think the rubber band looks odd.

I too am thinking of getting the WG OF but unfortunately even the WG is on a long waitlist at several ADs I visit! It’s madness, can’t even throw $28k!!!! To get a darn watch!!!

Exactly, man you don’t know how hard to get these white ceramics. Don’t sell it because you will truly regret it

I would not part from my SS Daytona for a PM model. Especially considering they are so difficult to source at a decent price. I would save and add the WG on OF.

I think you are right. There is always room for both. I have the 116500 white dial and a 116509 racing dial and I would not part with any. Would still consider the WG Oysterflex in the future, but I need to compare it first with a bracelet variant if ever it is introduced in 2019.
