2 Rolexes for a Patek 5711a or 5711r?
My lineup:
Rolex DayDate 228348RBR Black Baguette Diamond Dial and Bezel Rolex Daytona 116500LN White Dial (bought at retail) Rolex Sub Gold 116618LB Bought all new. Thinking about trading my sub and/or sub and Daytona for a 5711a blue face or 5711r. Thoughts? Hit me with it! |

Easy trade for me. Especially at MSRP. At $50k plus have to stop and think but still probably do it.

Gold sub, white daytona, and 5711 is a killer trio.

I have both a 116618LB and a blue 5711.
I´d never give away my LB in order to get the 5711, rather sell the Daytona. |

I wouldn’t trade my Nautilus for those 2 Rolex. Nobody would.
Therefor, if you can find someone to make that deal you have to take it.

I’d make the trade for sure - but just the Sub. Keep the Daytona.

I would get rid of the DD and keep daytona and Sub , just add cash in the trade and you got yourself a SS one "5711" a Gold choice "your Sub" and keep Daytona white until you get bored and feel like you want to update and when that moment happens I would update the whitona for a ROO with ceramic bezel.
This 3 would be my final goal PP (5711/1a) AP (ROO CE bezel) Rolex (Sub gold) just some ideas for you to play in your head good luck

I'd just keep the Daytona and trade the other two for a 5711/1A plus cash or a /1R.

The 1R is a piece you must have. Ask Ninja.

I'd trade the first two for a 11R, if possible keep the Daytona.

I think you have a fine collection. If you do part with one I would say the YG Sub but then you need a SS steel sub (an iconic piece).
If it was me, I would pony down the dough for a 5711a and increase the collection to 4. I wouldn't trade any of the references. Day-date, Daytona, and Sub are all essentials for me. |

Patek have to produce more Nautilus 5711-5712. Even if they stop for a while, they will have to come up with a new ideas for this watch in the matter of size, dial, maybe. Suspension of a 5712 is like killing only cow.

5711 is the grail of steel sports watches.
But not if your afraid to wear it because of scratches.

Experience as many brands that take your interest as you can. I would make the trade to move into a Patek.

Personal preference of course, though my head is wired to A for sport and R/G/J/P for dress.
