What would you trade for 5711a

[PPSL]

Hey guys wanted to ask a quick hypothetical question.

I have been on the waitlist for a blue 5711 for a while. Lets assume that I become extremely lucky and that the watch becomes available in the next 6 months. I would most likely have to move a sports piece to make room for the 5711a.

I have 3 watches that I love and would unfortunately need to move 1

Option 1= Trade/sell blue dial 15400. This is a very special watch as it is my first serious watch and the watch that got me into collecting. Got it retail at the boutique in 2012. Out of the three pieces has sentimental value because it is the watch that started it all for me. However, I understand that there is overlap as both are steel sport watches with blue dials.

Option 2= Trade/sell white dial 15400.OR on bracelet. Upgraded this watch from the leather model to full bracelet. Really like this watch and like the contrast that comes with an all gold sports watch.

Option 3= Trade/sell brand new ceramic Daytona black dial. Have not even sized this watch and hoping that I am not put in a position where I need to move it. Was very hard to source and obtained it MSRP after a long time search.

Would love to hear some thoughts! Hope everyone stays safe.

ps. Also selling my Hublot Big Bang all carbon. But given the hit Hublot has taken on the secondary market don't really know how easy will be to let go and at what value.

If you post this in the AP section means that you want to hear something like keep the 2 AP? Well that’s what I tell you, move the Daytona and Hublot

[SPeters79]

I'd personally drop the Daytona given the 3 options. It may be artificially inflated and hyped but it's not in the same league as AP or PP.

I'd sell the 400 SS and maybe swap the RG white for blue dial.

[Soly20]

Sell the Daytona and the Hublot. I think you already know this is what you should do.

[ragsk]

Sell the 15400 SS.

That way you end up with a watch from each brand and a more versatile collection. You don't need steel and gold versions of the same watch.

[Beauregard]

I'd ditch the Daytona, they're unreadable anyway.

[rumnyc]

Sell the 15400ss for a more rounded collection:

1) DT for roughy daily use
2) 5711 for understated bling
3) 15400OR for unashamed bling with style...


Later you will replace the DT for a titanium on rubber for the ultimate 3 watches like me:
1) ROO 44mm ti for daily
2) 15400st for elegance
3) ROO 44mm RG for bling. I barely get to wear this one but just having it gives me the most pleasure....

I know the 15400st has sentimental value but why not sell both APs and swap for a gold 15202.

I think this would have to be a personal choice.

If it was me, i would sell the 15400OR as I prefer the 15202or, so this gives me the chance to trade first and source for a 15202OR in future.

Side question, can i ask how did you get in line for the 5711 and for how long, im assuming this is from boutique / AD?

That’s actually a pretty cool solution & get the 5711. I’m no longer a fan of the Daytona unless it’s for women but I used to have 2 of them myself and they are undoubtedly very popular with both men and women. A 3 watch collection comprising a 5711, 15202 in gold & a Daytona would be very cool.

Reading your post. It's quite easy. Option 3. It's the only watch you have bought but not bother to wear or express any fondness. Move it along for the 5711/1a

[AshAP]

Is it still possible to get the dials changed on a Daytona? My 1st Daytona (circa 2002) came with a black dial and the AD had it swapped to white after about 6 months of ownership. The black dial ceramic Daytona imo looks like an Omega speedmaster but my wifes ceramic D has the white dial version and I really like that watch.

+1 Do this!!

[rumnyc]

i don't get all the talk of 202 which isn't even a watch he owns or is about to get. he is asking which to sell and we are further complicating his choices by asking him to get a watch that will take him another 3-5 years to get lololol...

keep one RG (the 15400or), and sell either daytona or the 15400st which ever you are least bored with when the 5711 comes. then in another 5 years we can discuss what you will sell when u get a blue 202 lolol....

[theflywrist]

I would go for option 1 without a doubt.
Personally I feel there is way more diversity with a full gold AP (on bracelet), a Patek steel, and a ceramic Daytona steel.
You will need the Daytona C for rougher trips and occasions!

If gold is not for you then perhaps later switch the OR for a 15202!
The Daytona C would be the last watch I would part with for many reasons.
It is far more robust than the others in the sense that it is harder for it to get scuffed, and also gives more diversity overall in a 3 watch collection.
Rolex / AP/ PP would be an excellent mix, not to mention top contender 3 models of 3 brands.

Sell the Hublot, try and get as much as you can. Keep the winners and pick up the 5711a if you get it at msrp.

And Daytona 116500 are overrated and unreadable, especially in black

[rumnyc]

i think the only reason i want a daytona is the hype around them but when it comes time to buy watches they (and all rolexes) always remain at spot 9 or 10 of ten watches i want to own at any point in time. i just have no emotional connection to any rolex but maybe thats just me. i know they are well made and built to last but that is not why i buy a handmade swiss watch. watch purchase is an illogical/emotional purchase and no rolex gets me excited like any AP. a rolex looks beautiful in photos and meh in person they are just not interesting (to me). on the other hand i have yet to see any AP that isn't nicer in person than in any photo of the watch and when i see any AP at the store i want it!!!!

This.

[RWH]

This one is easy as many others have said. Get rid of the Daytona, you wont miss it

[wisguy]

I would trade a RO, too similar.

I let go a 15202 in the past to get mine.

Ironically, with current prices I'm thinking of letting go the 5711 for a complicated PP.

[ap1]

I’d sell an AP and Hublot

[chiscott_29]

Have you asked yourself why you want a 5711A? I assume you have, and I have to assume you want it for good reason, such as extending your collection to include a Patek. I applaud wanting a Patek, but I'm one of those people that thought they wanted a 5711 and then I tried one on and said "What? Why?". Now, I admit I'd have to buy it in the secondary market and if I was purchasing at retail my thoughts likely would be different.

Anyway, the Hublot has to go, although as you say you'll take a hit on it. I'd sadly also say sell the Daytona as you should make a few thousand on that to fund the 5711.

Personally, I don't see the need for a 5711A and 15400 Blue dial. Have you considered an Aquanaut - 5164A or 5167A? That would fit better in your collection, in my humble opinion.

Very much agree with this. I happen to prefer the 15202/15400 to the 5711, but can understand people who feel the other way. That said, while I know they coexist comfortably in many collections they are mildly duplicative, whereas the Aquanaut gives you something quite different. Just a thought.
