BLRO + Root Beer for Rose Gold Daytona

Hey all, decided to take my indecisiveness to the forum and see what you guys suggest in order to be even more indecisive.

I have the opportunity to trade my BLRO 2019 used but not abused and my Root Beer 2019 (unworn safe queen) for a near mint 116515LN unpolished with lather straps and the discontinued Arab numerals dial.

Daytona is selling at 50.8k Euro while I might be able to get ruffly around 52k Eu for both my GMTs.

I love the pepsi but given the ruff market times I feel like it's something I might be able to get again later if I end up missing it without worrying too much that it will go to very stupid prices.

What would you do?

Pick your poison. I honestly think if you compare market values AND MSRP prices it’s close either way. So pick what you like. Whether they go up or down from here on is an unknown.

Love the Daytona, but I don't think I could make the trade.

I feel you on the bracelet, but the ceramic bezel for me it's a deal breaker, I LOVE the ceramic bezel on PM.

Also forgot to mention, I own a white dial ceramic Daytona as well, so in a way I do have a Daytona on metal bracelet, I just love it so much that it sort of gave me the itch for a gold version as well

I have a recent new 116515LN on oysterflex but always thought the prior Crocodile strap was more in keeping with a PM Rolex but that’s perceived progress for you.

I would actually get rid of the leather straps right away and put it on rubber B straps instead.

I can’t to pull off leather straps �� definitely not my style so what’s shown in pictures wouldn’t be the final look that I’d be rocking

Your money, your choice. Do what makes you happy.

I suspect that if you have to ask, you shouldn't do it.

I wouldn't. But that's just me.

I’d say that’s a fair trade if everything is a full set……if the Arabic dial is disco I would choose the Daytona……

I had that exact Daytona. Trying to require is proving extremely difficult.

Financially it’s a fair deal.

I probably would of you got the GMTs at MRSP

Value aside, I really like the two watches you have now and think they are probably more practical than what you are considering. I would not personally do this.

The your CHNR isn't something you wear though, it might be worth selling that for something else? I really like the CHNR, but if I wasn't wearing a watch, I'd probably personally sell it or trade it for something else.
