Which entry level white gold daytona?

If i can manage it, I really want to go looking for a WG daytona. Something in the sub 40k range. Trying to make up my mind on which one though.....I already have a black dial 126500 so thinking something different then that.

2nd hand watches I've seen online dont seem to be going form much of a discount over msrp.

Since you have the black dial then I would strongly suggest this one. It’s a beautiful combination and stunning in person. Another alternative would be the silver dialed oysterflex variant.

Online prices are not always representative of what pieces actually trade hands for based on recent personal experiences.

I've been trying to get out of a few full precious metal sports pieces (including daytonas). Dealers are offering 20-30% off msrp.

Just for reference I have a full white gold daytona with a blue dial (unworn and fully stickered) that hasn't had an offer above 32k.

The blue dial 116509 is a winner or the racing dial. So that you have some contrast.
Post some pics once you decide.

Cheers,

I assume you mean offer from a Grey?

Sell it yourself. Don’t leave 10k on the table

For the white gold Daytona models, the best deals will be on the early 116509 variants. Some cool “racing” dial options are out there. I was able to find this one earlier this year. Couldn’t be happier with it!

One of these two, I owned the meteorite for a bit and enjoyed it.
