I've been offered a mint 18206 Platinum day date in exchange for my 18038 YG day date and 116520 Daytona. I'm split on the idea but the 18206 is essentially unworn and is very tempting....I'm hoping that typing this out will help me decide...:).

Htab · 20 June 2012, 12:54 PM

I would

chiko323 · 20 June 2012, 12:55 PM

That's a tough one. What I would do is keep the Daytona and just trade the day date + extra cash his way but that's just me

hoops10 · 20 June 2012, 01:03 PM

Agree with Chiko, I would not trade the Daytona.

msimm30 · 20 June 2012, 01:30 PM

Do you have other Rolex's? If not you would be trading a dress/everyday watch and a casual watch for a dress/everyday watch, just remember that you would be giving up a SS watch for a watch that you might not be able to wear everywhere..... I would say find some extra dough to through in with the YG DD instead of the Daytona. You won't regret it!

kilyung · 20 June 2012, 01:40 PM

Decent deal. I'd do it if you prefer the 18206 over the others

Bangel · 20 June 2012, 01:56 PM

If you prefer the platinum then go for it. I think I would.

AlanLawyer · 20 June 2012, 02:04 PM

The daytona has it's value, but if you have not had a platinum rolex yet, I would say make the trade. Owning a rolex is making a statement, owning a platinum rolex is making a loud statement.

This....and then some!

jolimont · 20 June 2012, 02:19 PM

I'd keep the daytona and cough up some cash+ yg DD

TSW · 20 June 2012, 02:54 PM

I probably would

I agree. I have several sport watches and no real dress watch (which I intend to rectify) if you are giving up both that could be a step backward. However if you have 3 Daytona’s sitting in the safe, than go for it. buyer’s remorse is a bitch, so I tend to agonize over stuff way too long.

caryyee · 20 June 2012, 05:56 PM

See what the cash difference between the YG DD and the Plat DD is. If it's more than the value of the Daytona, then do the trade. If it's less, then do a YG + cash trade, and sell the Daytona elsewhere.

mottykytu · 20 June 2012, 07:18 PM

If you ask me i will answer that not many people can distingust between the Platinum and Inox watch, therefore you should consider

Myself would never change two watches for one and the only difference between both DD is the precious metal.And today the scrap value price for 18KT gold around £23 gram and Platinum is £24 a gram.

No.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 20 June 2012, 09:06 PM

I wouldn't.

Manofsteelpt · 20 June 2012, 11:49 PM

Trade em

azguy · 20 June 2012, 11:51 PM

I would not make that trade, 2 for 1 is never good IMHO...

mbuckley · 20 June 2012, 11:53 PM

Not a good trade
The 2 for 1 is a losing proposition
