I'm not a guru, but given you were already trying to trade your VC two years go, I'd go for it now... Just don't include the Patek calendar in the deal ;-) [nt]

depends

Have you thought about the short/mid/long term ownership of a complicated watch like the VC? Besides the chronograph function, the VC may be similar to your 5396G. You seem to be fond of Rolex, perhaps keep the Daytona or Batman, trade the rest?

I was thinking along those same lines, of the 3 Rolex, the two I would be tempted to keep would be the Daytona and the GMT. [nt]
