Would you swap a meteorite Daytona on OF for a platinum Daytona?

[Kiddodoc]

I am not necessarily a fan of the meteorite on OF Daytonas but an all PM Daytona would be a great trade. 2 platonas are a bit much. Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing.

What other brands does your AD have?

Lemans would be ideal but that’s a step up even from a meteorite Daytona.

I think that's your best option, to be honest. I'm considering doing the same with my 116519. ::

That watch is too valuable to throw into the trade pile, plus you'll never get even close to what it's worth.

The meteorites will occupy a small and precious niche in the whole line of the OF series and, IMO, your collection too.

HL65 showing why he is a gentleman and a scholar with this advice that is equally correct as it is obvious but missed by the rest of us.

The only way it could make sense to trade a meteorite Daytona is if you are getting another meteorite Daytona in return.

I kept wearing it and I don’t know what happened but something clicked and it’s totally comfortable now. My full bracelet Daytona is still more comfortable but I have come to love the OF and believe any collection should have at least one OF.

I know you’ve had the OF for a while now but I also know your collection runs deep so not sure how often you wear it. There does seem to be an awkward stage with many people and their first OF.

I’d suggest keep wearing the OF. It’s not like the market is going to change much on a meteorite Daytona. They’re not making any more of them.

And as other have said, I would not want two Platona’s despite the 116 to 126 differences. Too redundant.

Patience is the key. Listen to this goy! It’s crazy to give up that watch. Go to your AD to make sure it’s fitted correctly for your wrist. Then make yourself wear it daily for a full month. You may very well get used to it.

What would you trade it for in my position? I bought it from my AD and potentially using it as leverage for a new watch from them - I have explained I find it uncomfortable and would rather trade it back to them for a different watch than sell it elsewhere.

One option is as a platinum Daytona … I mean .. I do have one

But I like the new caseback… and mine is the previous diamond dial version (the best one ) so I wouldn’t mind having the standard dial as the new diamond dial is pretty rubbish In comparison.

Just throwing some ideas around :)

Rolex do an alligator strap. Full OEM to replace the Oysterflex.

Or stick a Rubber B on it. Seriously - every bit as good as the Oysterflex quality wise without the silly blade things. I swear Rolex only put them on it to be different.

My 116515 was mega comfortable on the alligator or Rubber B

I can fly to your location and pick up that uncomfortable meteorite from you.

Thanks Scott I shall look into it. And yes I agree the fins are silly. They make the watch look really weird on the wrist. I have also had rubber b and preferred it.
