Omega Sedna Gold And Sochi Games Limited Edition Watches Announced Pre-Basel 2013

Trade: DD 228235 and an ROC black Panda
Hello, I'm looking for some opinions on this potential trade: DD 22835 RG Brown Motif Dial and an AP ROC SS Black Panda dial (latest model) for a Platinum DD40 Blue Motif dial. Current collection: SS Daytona ceramic white dial16610 Sub DD40 RGAP ROCI wear the DD when I go out or to fancy events. I daily the other three in a rotation, if I made this trade I would go down to three vs four and wear the Platinum daily in a rotation with the sub and Daytona. My hesitation ok the trade is giving up two great watches vs one amazing watch. I guess it's a decision between Quality vs quantity ? if someone could post some pictures that would be great 👍 I don know how to add them to a thread. (Newbie)
