2 Rolex trade for 1... opinions please
Hi guys,
I am totally besotted with the Daytona 116515LN and have seen a couple of pieces that I am monitoring. I am considering trading in my Yachtmaster Blue and Sub C for this watch... which are my 2 daily wearers. I also have a SS Daytona, which would become my daily wearer. What are your thoughts on the viability of this? Thanks for your input. Stu |

The SS Daytona for daily use is a great idea! One for daily use, and one for fancy affairs/weekends! |

Go for it. If you regret the decision the Yachtmadter and Sub c are easily replaced.

Sounds like you really like daytona, go for it, it's very nice having both SS and gold.

Agree with these comments...If I was so inclined to trade 2 for 1, I would probably do the Daytona and the YM, or the Daytona and the Sub. Just my thoughts.

I understand you well. You like those pieces which you would trade in the new purschasing but you are a bit uncertain if it is fair to do. In my opinion a watchcollector will never be in such a situation he/she wouldn't like to add any watch in the collection. Those two watches are your daily wearer and you have also SS Daytona that you may wear daily. How it would be with 116515LN? Would it be suitable to be using daily as to comes your lifestyle?

from a variety or collector point of view I wouldn't you have a perfect collection so normal advise would say no and save for the gold model BUT I would say yes do it because I too have a similar love for the Daytona others may not understand. I could wear my one precious metal Daytona daily for the rest of my life and be happy. having a SS model as a back up would be ideal for me when I don't have my Daytona on I am thinning about it so I say do it!! ![]() ![]() |

Thanks guys. I appreciate your thoughts. It's not a straight trade. I would need to add some £££. For now I will wait and save some more.

Not being a huge fan of the blue YM and since the Sub is very easy to replace, I would flip for the PM, sure.

Good decision but 116515 LN only avaible with leather as far as I know. In this regard,bracet may need to be replaced depending on your activitie whereas ss bracelet will last as long as rocks
