Would you trade a 116520, SS, White Dial "Y" serial (circa 2003) Daytona for a 18239, White Gold, Silver Dial, 6 million serial (circa 1979-1980) DayDate President straight up?? My Daytona was recently serviced at the BH RSC (just before they closed) and the President is in 95% condition.

No, after seeing how hard to is for some to sell a 36mm DD these days....this is one watch that is really taking it in the shorts IMO.

Not a chance. I would even expect some cash in that transaction...

rescue7 · 20 June 2009, 06:28 AM

NO, the Daytona is a keeper, icon and in the future would be an easy sell.
The Day/Date Prez is not an easy sell, and 36mm is not a popular size. More people are into the larger watches. Just my opinion.

ijen0311 · 20 June 2009, 06:40 AM

No way

Omega_Precision · 20 June 2009, 06:41 AM

Nope...wouldn't do it.

TurboWatch · 20 June 2009, 06:42 AM

eom

AIKO · 20 June 2009, 06:42 AM

No way.

barstoolman · 20 June 2009, 06:54 AM

I believe I'm starting to see a trend here

Art 1 · 20 June 2009, 06:54 AM

No.

RJC · 20 June 2009, 06:59 AM

1,000,000,023% NO!

Z-Sub · 20 June 2009, 07:04 AM

No. Maybe a couple of thousand your way if you really like the president.

paolo14 · 20 June 2009, 07:21 AM

If it's the NEW White gold Presidential I'd do it. But since it's the old one...hell no!

JJ Irani · 20 June 2009, 07:23 AM

Even though I'm no great fan of the Daytona, in this case I wouldn't!!

Idle Swede · 20 June 2009, 07:30 AM

That DD is worth approx. $5,000.........You be the judge..

barstoolman · 20 June 2009, 07:50 AM

So, I'm starting to get the feeling you guys think this is a bad deal

Seriously, I thought so as well......just thought I'd run it by to confirm.

Thanks for the quick responses...you guys are the best!!!!!!

kcmo · 20 June 2009, 08:47 AM

I'm a DD fan and even I say no!

drtooth73 · 20 June 2009, 09:51 AM

Presidents, used, retail for $7000 -$8000, you can find cheaper, but not by much in good condition.
I almost never see a Daytona in SS under $9000.

Andad · 20 June 2009, 10:51 AM

What they all said.

Watchdog · 20 June 2009, 10:53 AM

Just in case it's not clear yet . . .

NO WAY!

allanofcalifornia · 20 June 2009, 10:55 AM

I would not trade. You could sell your SS Daytona and buy a used gold President of your choice and make a profit.

Gaijin · 20 June 2009, 11:03 AM

Lets keep the trend going..

Not on your life. No way!

Gold Crown · 20 June 2009, 11:04 AM

Nope, That Day Date is only worth about $6500-$7000, on a good day.

Submariner 1 · 20 June 2009, 01:03 PM
