In a perennial dilemma faced by many collectors, 'One day just one watch' grapples with the decision to consolidate his collection for a long-coveted Rolex Day-Date 36mm. His original post sparks a rich discussion on the practicalities, emotional attachments, and market considerations of trading popular sports models for a classic gold dress watch. This article distills the community's collective wisdom, offering valuable perspectives for anyone contemplating a similar horological pivot.
I recently purchased the blue dial YM and of course, prior to buying I went on a hunt online to read about it as much as I could. Across forums I saw a handful of people regret selling their YMs often saying it was their most comfortable watch and had something special about it. I'm not saying you should keep it, just providing some perspective. Based on your current preferences you might be leaning more towards dressier watches with more ergonomic cases which the GMT does not have. Have you tho
And it is spot on what you say about the YM being very comfy on the wrist, especially compared to the GMT. And your suggestion of looking at pre owned I will surely take into consideration. So thank you very much!
How much did they offer for the GMT, I would figure you could easily sell it for 16-17k market price?
They have to make money too, that’s why it didn’t work unfortunately…
Your best option is selling it yourself but I would wait a little bit and see what the market does. I doubt it goes down. Perhaps contact known grey dealers if they can source you a new DD and see what's possible when you trade it in. Do they still discount the 36mm DD at ADs??
