New incoming 116500LN

After owning and trading between the 214270 mark 1 and mark 2, 116523, 116610LV, 126710BLRO, I was left with both the Hulk and Pepsi. I got bored of both and the Panda Daytona finally dropped in price from its all time high so I decided to trade in both the Hulk and Pepsi for the Daytona from a dealer.

Might seem like a crazy rip off deal at first but both the Hulk and Pepsi were without box and papers and the Hulk was in pretty bad condition (dents on the case and dust on the dial). The Daytona is brand new with box and papers and I’ve never owned a Rolex watch with the full set due to buying through grey market dealers (I live in Hong Kong so there’s no way I could get a steel sports from an AD), so it feels nice having the full package. I’ve made money on both the Hulk and Pepsi even though selling it through the dealer since prices went crazy after COVID started

Here is a photo on my very tiny wrist

To clarify, you traded an LVC and a BLRO straight up for a Daytona?

Yea I did, I wanted to get rid of them cause I got them from a dealer who is famous here in Hong Kong for selling bad condition Rolex watches. I bought them only because they were always 1-2k USD cheaper than other shops

Huge congrats. Consolidating can sometimes be a huge relief. One watch, easy life.

And what a piece to own. The pinnacle of the brand, and such a looker.

Congrats. It’s a killer watch. And it’s a big relief to get rid of stuff you weren’t comfortable owning.

I love mine. And I think it looks good on your wrist. You can rock it.

I got mine in March after waiting 2 years and 9 months. Congrats. It's an Icon and will always go up in value. I think it's the number one Rolex to have and looks great on your wrist.

Good trade in my book. Congrats.
You traded the toys for an adult model :)

Lately, this white Daytona has received alot of hype on TRF, even further hyping this incredibly hyped watch to all-time hype levels!
