Hi

I recently got your opinions on buying a steel ceramic white dial Daytona from Watchfinder, I've now got some figures and your thoughts would be appreciated;

7 year old DeepSea 7500 GBP trade in
2 year old Daytona 116500LN white dial c/w box and papers - 16950 GBP
To pay - 9450 GBP

I popped into a new Rolex boutique in London and was told the waiting list for a steel Daytona was 25 years

Thanks

Nick

Nope. Of course not. Keep your deepsea.. Save more money. If they discontinue it, you will be a big winner.

You must be very very thirsty to do that trade and pay that top-up. Can you live without the Daytona?

To be fair, that sounds like an ok offer from WF to part ex a 7 yr old deep sea. If you want the watch, I’d probably do it. I’ll take the wrath of the naysayers, but if you are not on a list now then you are looking at a long wait.

Value wise it, of course, doesn’t make sense, but since when has any of this made sense. I did a similar thing and it’s the best move I’ve made. If the money is no real concern and it will make you happy then you should.

I sense you want to do this given you have asked twice. I say go for it

NO WAY! 17k for a used ss Daytona, because they added ceramic to it.

The steel ones aren’t far behind here....

Just curious why you would go from a DSSD to a Daytona as daily?

arcentaur · 29 August 2018, 03:33 AM

No can do unless the Daytona is your end game watch.

lenfried29 · 29 August 2018, 03:37 AM

I wouldn't do it. It's not a fair trade.

SC11 · 29 August 2018, 03:43 AM

Have you not look around as last time I checked WF were by far asking the biggest premium of all the grey dealers and have recently been buying in at around the lowest trade in values.

Nairn1980 · 29 August 2018, 03:47 AM

Good px price on the Deepsea, but I’d still never do that deal.

AK797 · 29 August 2018, 04:36 AM

Sounds horrible on the face of it but the DSSD price could be much worse, you sure you can't find a better price on the D500, under 16K?

chronoman · 29 August 2018, 05:16 AM

25 years?!?!?!
That takes ridiculous presumption to a new level, to throw out a number like that.
Why the AD didn't just say "impossible?" It would be closer to the truth.
If there truly is a sheet of names, that are waiting twenty-five years for a watch, I have to re-evaluate my concept of reality.

I always say life is too short but honestly that exchange is just too much.
Look at what £9000+ can buy you, another SS or a TT Daytona. If you get another Rolex and after a while stop wearing the Dssd you might go back to it and love it again.

Get the daytona. You will not regret it
