Looking at trading a 124060 plus what I think is a pretty reasonable amount of cash to go to the 5396r with the sector dial.
I don’t currently have any dress watches or precious metal or complications so this would scratch a couple itches.

5396r is a full kit. I think I’d prefer the non sector dial but the plane dial ones seem to command another $10k somehow. Any thoughts?

If that’s what your heart wants…. Go for it.

ELLimon · 9 May 2023, 08:24 AM

I’ll keep my sub, not in love with the Patek and the dial is too busy.

sleddog · 9 May 2023, 08:27 AM

Two completely different animals in the Haut world. For use, and function IMO.
Go with your gut though, if you feel its the right choice, go for it..

Barada7 · 9 May 2023, 08:51 AM

You can always get another Sub. A Patek is special.

sski · 9 May 2023, 09:01 AM

i would go for it 100%......depending on the extra cash
being 'reasonable.'

This is a special watch right here imo.

ExplorerI · 9 May 2023, 09:09 AM

Actually have 2 subs so I’m unlikely to miss this one lol

PepsiBezel · 9 May 2023, 09:24 AM

I love the sector dial — wish they still made the 5196 with it.

enjoythemusic · 9 May 2023, 09:47 AM

Get what you truly desire. Add 10k more.

I'd keep the Sub.

Looks like this has already sold from EWC. What are they want for it?

It’s not being sold by EWC just a nice pic of I grabbed off the internet. It would be around 30k

GGGMT · 9 May 2023, 10:31 AM

Ah! Then it would seem you have to put up about $20,000 plus a 124060.

I would take the deal all day long if it was just $10,000 +124060 used

The Sub is a keeper, and a classic.

The 5396 is 57,000 at retail. Be hard pressed to find one anywhere in the low 20s. I’ve seen a couple naked ones at 29 and change.

HMHM · 9 May 2023, 12:10 PM

You should try on the 5936 before u make a decision. I remember the 5396 being quite large on the wrist…..

Never tried one on in person. Can’t imagine it wears bigger than a 41mm sub though?

1995akcoop · 9 May 2023, 01:46 PM

Keep the sub. That dial is too busy, way better looking Pateks out there

Don't trade for the sector dial model just because it is cheaper or you will never be satisfied. Have you considered the 5146? It has lume and is more versatile.
If your determined to go with a 5396, you might check in to the possibility of a dial change with Patek/Stern.

Good luck!

Benzsiam · 9 May 2023, 09:26 PM

Always go for the one you love the most, even you have to pay more.

1William · 9 May 2023, 09:36 PM

I prefer the Submariner. I get the dress watch thing and the PP thing but neither are my thing.

cdm765 · 9 May 2023, 09:46 PM

I never really enjoy dress watches like sports watches. I have no interest in a dress Patek, but to each their own!

brandrea · 9 May 2023, 10:08 PM

I’d keep the Submariner and add the Patek

Vipes · 9 May 2023, 10:51 PM

Much prefer the sector dial; more casual vibe. I say go for it!

Sure, go for it

I’ve almost bought the 5146 a bunch of times

watchwatcher · 9 May 2023, 11:12 PM

See here's the thing. I've always found it difficult to contemplate a trade between such completely different watches.

My thought be would be to decide if you're more of a sub guy or a dress watch guy and go from there.

I definitely like the sub but I have 2 of them. Also I wear a suit everyday

Chewbacca · 9 May 2023, 11:35 PM

Do it!!!

dafuture · 9 May 2023, 11:41 PM

I'm a sucker for the Patek sector dials - the 5296G is a personal grail of mine. I'd do it if the cash is reasonable and you have another sports watch.
