Thinking about trading out my SS Daytona 116520 for a mint Sea Dweller. I just don't like the bling of the polished pieces and not having a date. All thoughts and comments are appreciated. What is realistic for my watch for the SD and the additional cash to make a fair transaction for both parties? Thanks.

Manofsteelpt · 19 November 2012, 06:27 AM

Trade it... You have to get a good $4k IMO.

G Francis · 19 November 2012, 06:28 AM

Keep the Daytona and save up, you'll only regret it!
In answer to your question go to any pre owned website and see the difference for yourself.

subtona · 19 November 2012, 06:41 AM

do it, no regrets!

$$$ back to you depending on condition of each and series of SD, as the later series seem to be fetching higher amounts recently.

i did the same swap a year ago

slcbbrown · 19 November 2012, 09:50 AM

Make the trade. Daytona's aren't for everyone, and they are certainly dressy looking.

Brushpup · 19 November 2012, 10:00 AM

I love Daytona's, but that would be a great trade IMO.

AK797 · 19 November 2012, 10:03 AM

Sounds like you need to do it.

floresb · 19 November 2012, 11:12 AM

Considering a DeepSea for an even trade over a M series classic with a little cash difference (seems a little on low side at $2k). Thoughts? I have tried the Deepsea and the size difference is not a big deal.

Mickey® · 19 November 2012, 11:16 AM

For me...trade.
If it was white...it'd be harder decision for me....
Plus 4k is nice...

Welshwatchman · 19 November 2012, 11:24 AM

On a private trade for a very late model SD, you should be getting around $4k cash out of the deal.

Bulldurham08 · 19 November 2012, 11:29 AM

I don't know if I would make the deal, but for the reasons you're stating, I understand your position. I'd say a minimum of 3K difference, depending on condition of both watches...

Good luck!

Joey_V · 19 November 2012, 02:00 PM

Umm... no. The Daytona is a mean watch. The SD is not worth the Daytona. I would get 3-4K back. Then maybe I'd consider it.

Or better yet, let me source an SD and then I'll trade with you - even trade.. bwahaha.... JK!

z32turbo · 19 November 2012, 02:07 PM

I'd make sure you really want to get rid of the Daytona before letting it go. It seems like a piece that returns to those who sell it.

tkc324 · 19 November 2012, 02:33 PM

I wouldn't trade a Daytona for SD... but depend on condition, you should get about 4-5k back.

Z-Sub · 19 November 2012, 04:02 PM

Do it. You've already expressed your feeling about the Daytona

liminc · 19 November 2012, 07:11 PM

Keep the daytona!

travisb · 19 November 2012, 07:17 PM

I'd do the trade but not with only 2k coming back to you.

Monte Cristo · 19 November 2012, 09:22 PM

"I just don't like the bling of the polished pieces and not having a date"...enough said. Make the trade, it's what you want

mjclark32 · 19 November 2012, 10:23 PM

I'd make the trade too. Good luck

nauticajoe · 19 November 2012, 10:54 PM

If the Daytona's not getting any love....go for it.

Good luck!

Sounds like you really want to trade so do it.

Personally I would keep the Daytona and save for the Sea Dweller

polarinda · 19 November 2012, 11:01 PM

I will trade the black one any day for the sd.
A white one, not so sure.

superdog · 19 November 2012, 11:27 PM

i absolutely would not make this trade. the two watches are extreme night and day. the size difference alone, is enormous.

if i were you and i wanted to get rid of the bling, the farthest, i would go is maybe to a subC or a GMTIIC with brushed center links.

kilyung · 19 November 2012, 11:27 PM

I'd do it with about $3.2k back.

floresb · 21 November 2012, 12:01 PM

Smooth and easy transaction with fellow Tarheel TRF member KangerRolex. Love my new SD!

Hairdude1 · 21 November 2012, 01:34 PM

Nice!

c.rod · 21 November 2012, 01:52 PM

I'm with u on the date. About the only watch I could ever manage to have without a date would be panerai. Other than that I need it

George Ab · 21 November 2012, 02:00 PM

I did the same thing. Got rid of my Daytona and kept my Seadweller. I use the date and don't use the chronograph function. Not big on PCL's. For me, it was an easy choice.

Big congrats!

PunkJr · 21 November 2012, 02:43 PM

sell the Daytona, buy a Speedmaster and Seadweller.

EDIT: oops, see you've already done a deal, congrats.
