Trade proposition for a 5270/1R with rose gold bracelet and black dial - thoughts?

May 25, 2020,16:14 PM

Gentlemen, I have the opportunity to trade my 5270G, 5130R, and 5124G Gondolo for a 5270/1R in full rose gold with the integrated bracelet. The 5270/1R is my ultimate grail watch and to be completely honest, I purchased the 5270G due to its value proposition as a compromise as the 5270/1R was unobtainable. But the opportunity has arisen to trade my 5270G, 5130R world time, and 5124G Gondolo plus $15k cash for a brand new unopened 2020 model year 5270/1R with my name on the papers. I find the rose gold bracelet to be breathtaking and the trade for me is a no brainer. I do not wear the 5124G Gondolo and when I do wear my 5270G I find myself listing for and wishing I had the 5270/1R which is what I have always really wanted. The world time I do wear a lot and love, it is my favorite timepiece, but I need to give it up in the trade deal to minimize the cash add (15k if I include the world time and $40k if I do not include it). If I proceed with the trade, I will likely acquire a 5130G in the future in white gold to complement the 5279/1R.

What are your thoughts? Photos of all watches are below.

Do it! I can hear it in your message that it’s what you want and you won’t be satisfied until you acquire it. The one special watch will take the place of three that you like but will always second guess if you don’t make the trade. So go for it! [nt]

You need to make your own decision!

Opinions are like mouths, everyone has got one. But what really matters is your opinion.

I have two, a physical mouth, and that annoying inner voice. [nt]

If i am in your shoes, i will never trade the three models that you have mentioned for a 5270/1R. Its basically giving away two watches, the 5130, 5124, and another $15k, just for a gold bracelet. Its a no go for me.
