No, your DD is stunning.

Yess · 1 May 2020, 06:23 PM

Well, that's one of the most resounding No's I've seen from a group.

VacherObsessive · 1 May 2020, 06:28 PM

Not for That aquanaut model. You have the better 2 watches by far

faimag · 1 May 2020, 07:06 PM

Not for that Aquanaut.

18078pres · 1 May 2020, 07:20 PM

I have a 5066 and I like the dial over the new style. I like the size maybe because Im 62 and very durable like my sub. But your giving way to much! I bought mine a few years ago from a seller on trf with everything B and P no polished for $16000 to my door.

Bad trade imho

No I wouldn't do it. While I do like the PP, I think it is way overpriced in the marketplace. At MSRP, I think it is a fair watch to buy.

Vincent65 · 1 May 2020, 11:58 PM

Another no.

RoscoPico · 2 May 2020, 12:06 AM

personally would not even trade the DD for it

NachoNeal · 2 May 2020, 12:16 AM

No. Your watches are awesome!

AJMarcus · 2 May 2020, 12:21 AM

Never

GoingPlaces · 2 May 2020, 12:22 AM

No way, you will get tired of that Patek.

Matt129 · 2 May 2020, 12:28 AM

I would make that trade for the right Patek... but that isn't the right Patek. Hold!

I know this forum has grown increasingly tired of the ‘value discussion’ in particular because of the Rolex and other brands’ hyperinflation these past years but with all due respect a trade like this has several aspects. While I do agree with you that it’s not down to value alone - one can not entirely disregard the economical bit of it as well - if the trade was horrible value wouldn’t you advise against it because of it?
As I stated, personally I would have a hard time giving up that DD if it was me but if OP loves that PP and considers the trade it might be a good deal for him? Surely the OP will use the input from this forum as part of his decision and not let the forum make his decision for him anyway :)

Personally I quite like the aquanaut although possibly a different reference.

spoon-turbo · 2 May 2020, 12:59 AM

Must be the picture quality but that Aqua looks old.

Sandpit · 2 May 2020, 01:18 AM

Hell no

This x100

csaltphoto · 2 May 2020, 01:56 AM

Another NFW here...

And coming from someone who doesn't know much about PP that watch just looks kind of... crude compared to the Rolexes. I know I probably don't know what I'm looking at. It probably has some horological significance that eludes me. It just doesn't look terribly well executed as a design. At least compared to more modern PP's.

Mr. K · 2 May 2020, 01:59 AM

No way

Texex · 2 May 2020, 05:53 AM

I really like the Aquanaut and it would still be a hard pass for me.

That DD you have is super neat. The PP is quite dull compared to it. I would not do the trade.

Daytonaman799 · 2 May 2020, 07:13 AM

NO WAY. Your Day Date is much nicer IMHO. Also the 5066 is just not as nice as even the 5167 so it’s an inferior Aquanaut.

Bmw1 · 4 May 2020, 09:57 PM

Thanks a lot guys for your opinions, I really appreciate it.
Decided not to go through with the deal.

I'd say no. The lack of papers and unknown service history scares me. The DD and Omega cover almost all the bases, you have a couple of very nice watches there.

garyk · 4 May 2020, 10:19 PM

Nope
