I'm thinking of trading my Sub in for an Omega Speedmaster Prof Moonwatch which will release a fair bit of funds in the process. Long term I'm wanting to add an elusive Daytona C to the collection too.

What are your thoughts on replacing the Sub with a Moonwatch. Would it be wiser to save and add? Photo of current small collection below...

Open to all your thoughts and suggestions.

Appreciated, Niki

hitman23 · 12 September 2017, 04:53 AM

I tend to never trade down in value. The cash would have to be 3.5k in this case.

dafuture · 12 September 2017, 05:02 AM

If you're getting enough cash and are looking for a Daytona, it's not a bad move. I agree it would have to be about $3500 in cash depending on condition/completeness (box, papers, etc.), but you still have the Batman so I don't think it's necessarily a bad move for your collection if you really want a Speedy or chronograph.

Bobby T · 12 September 2017, 05:02 AM

Its not like you can't find another Sub, or Speedy...they"re both a dime a dozen. Just get a nice amount of cash in return

yxc145 · 12 September 2017, 05:06 AM

I won't. if you don't like the Sub anymore, why not just sell it and save the money for the Daytona.

BiH115 · 12 September 2017, 05:08 AM

Personally, I wouldn't trade the classic 114060 for anything. I'd just save up and grab the Daytona when you can.

swish77 · 12 September 2017, 05:08 AM

I would definitely add a Speedy Pro, but keep your classic Sub. Every watch collection should have at least one Sub, IMHO. But I think a Speedy should also be in any collection.

Brand new Moonwatches, with those extra straps and other goodies that now come in the complete set, can be had for $3400, about $2800ish for clean pre-owned. It's the most iconic chronograph out there, and that money only makes a slight dent in your pursuit of a Daytona-C anyway.

Chadridv · 12 September 2017, 05:09 AM

Simply put, no. Wouldn't do that trade. I would add a speedmaster, or trade the non-rolex pieces.

run23 · 12 September 2017, 05:13 AM

I would. To me the Sub and BLNR fill similar roles, although I'd personally take the Sub over the BLNR, but that's just me.

Totally agree. I expect selling it would be a decision you would come to regret.

Yes, keep your eye on the Daytona prize.

Cru Jones · 12 September 2017, 05:22 AM

I'd flip the BLNR toward the DaytonaC and keep the rest.

machob55 · 12 September 2017, 07:36 AM

The Speedmaster Professional is a beautiful watch and one I want to add to my collection, but don't trade the Sub in for it. No comparison and you would be trading down. You can get a brand new Speedy, full set for around $3350!

Would it be a brand new Speedy Pro or a vintage one?

Maybe a pre-moon watch like my dad's 1968 model, just with Omega Switzerland for service currently. He bought it new...

sirish19 · 12 September 2017, 10:42 AM

I would keep the sub and sell the other thing on the left to get the speedy. As others have said I think every collection needs a sub and a speedy. Save up and keep waiting and sell the Nomos to fund the Daytona C preferably with the white face. Then I would add a Patek, VC or JLC dress watch sometime down the line and then you're done.

This is the correct answer.

wach16 · 12 September 2017, 11:18 AM

I am a sucker for chronographs but it sounds like you really want the daytona. I would sell the sub and save up for what you really want!

busytimmy · 12 September 2017, 11:22 AM

I would do it. The SUB and GMT are pretty similar and the addition of a Speedy would really round out your excellent collection!

beshannon · 12 September 2017, 11:25 AM

I would save and add, both belong in any serious collection

pgrandster · 12 September 2017, 11:33 AM

If you plan on getting a Daytona-C, having a Speedmaster MOTM will seem redundant.

drgoro · 12 September 2017, 11:40 AM

Keep the sub. The ND sub, is IMO the most pure of the role sports watches. I will reacquire shortly.

The Speedmaster is one of the most disappointing watch purchases I've ever made. In years of ownership, I may have worn it 5 or 6 times. You will regret the trade.

DLRIDES · 12 September 2017, 11:57 AM

Dump the Nomos and the watch on left (Longines?), and get a MOTM. Then save for the Daytona if it's a must have (you could possibly enjoy the MOTM more). Eventually add a Reverso for a dress watch in the future.

The ND sub and MOTM should be in any collection !

Chute · 12 September 2017, 01:45 PM

Add a speedmaster then when you get bored of the Sub and speedmaster, trade them both for a Daytona.

Ruud Van Driver · 12 September 2017, 01:49 PM

If finances allow then save and add the Speedmaster.

I read a lot of people here saying that every collection should have a Speedy. I've looked on many occasions and it does absolutely nothing for me in any of its incarnations. I'd rather have a Deep Black, but that's just me.

jrs146 · 12 September 2017, 02:25 PM

I'd keep the Sub and add the speedy. I love mine and wear it just as much as my other "nicer" watches. There's just something about a Speedy that's awesome. I have the moon phase version
