Advice on Changing from Seadweller to Deepsea
Hi Guys,After much consideration I'm going to buy a Deepsea. At the moment I have a D series seadweller in mint condition which will have to make way for my new addition.The question is, what sort of price could I look to sell it privately or what price would be fair to ask the AD as a part exchange on the Deepsea?

Rolex Daytona SubDials
