Your ripping yourself off big time in that deal.
No way is that worth it |

Not sure on the values of your current collection but owning a Platona all I can say is it's very special ,very heavy,lovely. The 5711 does nothing for me but from the above I appear in a minority

Nah, 5711 isn't my bag either. Doesn't feel that awesome on my wrist.

I would absolutely do it if the cash to you was sufficient not to make it a terrible deal financially. I have two Nautilus but I love my Platona 1000 times more than them. That said, if there was a way you could keep the Nautilus, a steel Rolex Sport and add the Platona, that would be a perfect three watch collection.

I wouldn't trade your collection plus cash for a Platona. If you are set on making a trade, keep the PP 5711 and trade the rest.

I've tried on the platona many times in the hope that I would succumb, because is wears just superb. However, I just cannot get further than the hue of brown for the bezel. For me - should have been Royal blue. Regards |

I would do it
I sold BLNR to make funds for the Daytona 116506 As for Day Date, as much as I like these, I prefer Sky Dweller Neither Patek nor Omega does it for me

I'd do it as long as you have five figures + coming back your way.
Platona and SD4K makes for a great pair. |

As much as I like the Platona, I would not get rid of your collection especially the 5711.

What I am seeing is a beautiful and well balanced collection.
That 5711 is going up up in value.... Your choice at the end of the day but heed other members words please. |

Hey guys
Thanks for all the great feedback was offline for a few days.... Just to clarify I was getting 10k GBP plus the Platona. However I decided against the deal for 2 reasons. 1. 5711 just to good to lose even with platinum fever. 2. Wife loves the dd2 and won't let me sell ( so I guess that's the real reason!) However I now have mega urge for a new watch and decided to part ex my BLNR and GSOM plus cash from me for a BNIB WG sub. This affliction can't be tamed but I have curbed my Platona fever until next year to justify a big 40 birthday present to myself :) In coming in about 7 days ! Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk |

I wouldn't trade all 4 for a Platona, but I would certainly consider trading the DD40 (or 5711) + Omega Speedmaster for a Patek 5170 (G, R, or P) + cash
![]() http://www.patek.com/en/mens-watches...ions/5170R-010 Great collection you have currently BTW ![]() Edit: I see your decision on the WG Sub 116619LB aka Smurf. Great choice and an awesome piece, Congrats! On my very short list for a 35th B present to myself ![]() |

I say keep 5711 and DD, sell/trade the others to help with your Platona purchase

Keep the 5711. Everything else including the Platona is expendable.
