I brought 21 watches of Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Tag Heuer calibre to the local AD to have them examine them and make me an offer to buy them. While there I looked at a several watches to take away the pain of loss. What do you think? Which one? So far I'm thinking yellow or white gold. Pt would be a stretch. Any thoughts?

Those DDs are 36mm, so unless you have a small wrist, I would go with the blue sub PM. Further, I think the WG sub is more versatile, unless you are a banker who wears suits each day.

No, both DDs are 40mm. The sub is thicker.

I love when people say you must have a small wrist to wear a 36mm day-date. I have a 7 1/4 in wrist and I think it looks far better and much classier than the oversized 40mm version.

Wrong, they're 40's.

Pt DD!!

LuminousMaximus · 16 November 2018, 03:16 PM

Ok I would not trade to the AD. I would sell here on Trf. Fair price will sell fast.
Then you can keep half of your watches and still buy the WG Sub or the DD 40

You can tel it’s a 40 because the tag say 228238

I was thinking about selling mine as well and getting the Platinum DD batons
But I’m really digging the RG Daytona so... to be continued....

Are you adverse to selling them privately?

Each to their own. That was on the table but I took it off. I was always told to wear black shoes with a blue suit and Brown with gray. Just kidding about the color combination. I really don't have the need for a chrono; I prefer having a date.

If the price isn't right they'll be coming back home. All in their boxes with what ever paper is available. That would be the time for TRF. The first path is the path of least resistance.

The two aren't interrelated. Price on the PM and the trade in values of the others.

+1 ....and some of our good members will get a shot at your watch and the difference the AD would've gotten will be shared amongst friends instead.

Don't know what you are trading, but if the $ makes sense, that platinum DD is the one.

peterpl · 16 November 2018, 03:48 PM

get the DD40 in either metal. You can never go wrong.

shaunylw · 16 November 2018, 03:51 PM

The AD is going to crush you on that deal. I would connect with a trusted seller, you will fair much better in the deal. You can take the funds and buy whatever you please from the AD.

Last time I spoke with a TS earlier this year, I was offered $3K for a blue WG Rolesor DJII. No one is going to crush me, fwiw.

That’s a joke of an offer for that watch! Glad you held out. Can’t see me selling mine ever but I’m intrigued with what you’re doing because I have days where I think about off loading my collection in a similar fashion for the one and only grail, but what hold me back is I like the variety of the collection that took me years to build up even though some don’t get a lot of wrist time, I have inner karma enjoying that they are there.

YG and a stainless steel sports model

oldman2005 · 16 November 2018, 04:04 PM

I'd go for the ice blue Platinum DD

BNA/LION · 16 November 2018, 04:12 PM

Platinum would be Perfect!

Kyle3130 · 16 November 2018, 04:37 PM

That platinum day date is my grail. If I were in your shoes, that would be the one for me. Good luck!

TheFuture · 16 November 2018, 04:51 PM

If you love them do it!

nocaps · 16 November 2018, 05:04 PM

platinum is great, but i wouldn't do it if it was your one and only watch. variety is the spice
of life, so i would go with either a 36 or 40 mm yellow gold day-date and a stainless sports model. my $.02
