Trade Datejust hidden clasp and OP 41 Green for Daytona

[sportsfan0704]

Thinking about consolidating, and a possible trade would be my datejust 116233 champagne stick with jubilee unpolished full set mint condition and OP 41 Green Dial plus ~$3K for a Daytona 6 digit, likely a 116503 white dial.

I love the Daytona and don’t think i will be able to add it to my collection anytime soon except as a trade like this. I think the OP green dial can easily be replaced down the line given its lower cost, and I think a 36mm would be better for me anyway. I do love the green dial.

On the other hand, the datejust is a grail watch for me that I spent over a year plus trying to find in this condition (I bought it NOS ~4 years after they discontinued the hidden clasp). Its hard to find the 116233 reference in good condition, as a lot of them have been well worn and polished, will dull bezels and stretched bracelets. Bottom line, this is going to be hard to replace.

These are good problems to have, but I welcome thoughts on this trade. Should I just bite the bullet on the Daytona? Or be patient and try to do the OP and cash for a zenith 2 tone, which would be much lower cost. This would be a harder option for me given the out of pocket costs right now. Thoughts?
