I wear my 116710LN way more than my 116520. I would not do this deal.

And you are welcome to Diet Coke and fancy coffee drinks at my house anytime so don't be lured in by those shenanigans. They might also throw free cookies your way. Also, not worth it.

I wouldn't do that trade. Instead I'd look for a Tudor Chrono (pre-tiger woods) or an Omega PO chrono. You should be able to get either one for $3K or less.

I wouldn't do it unless you're going for a "Grail" piece. Otherwise, I'd keep the GMT and trade the sub towards the Daytona.

Would you....?

My answer is NO.
However, i would do it if it was Gmtc plus cash for Daytona leaving your sub alone.

I only own chronographs and have had both a black-dialed 116520 and white-dialed 16520 and would say unless you're convinced it is your grail, I would not do it. Fit for me was excellent and the finish was typical Rolex. But I thought legibility was too poor due to the multiple reflective surfaces (crystal, hands, and dial). In the end, I really wanted a date feature for work purposes, and I wasn't a huge fan of the PCLs (but it wasn't a deal-breaker in either case).

No - for me, I love the Daytona and own one but wouldn't let those two go for it. Save and get a Daytona.

Keep the GMT, trade Sub, and add cash for the Daytona.

NO. I know the Daytona has a history and everything, but not worth trading two watches for one.

If Daytona is what YOU like, then do it. It is a beautiful watch.

It depends on how much you want the new one and how much you'd miss the old ones. Only you can answer that question.

GMT and sub being your only two I wouldn't do it. If you had an excess of GMT and divers, then I'd say heck yeah do it.
