Thinking about parting ways with 2 of the Daytona's to diversify the collection a bit and add a Patek.

As special as the 509 blue dial is, it's a bit redundant in the collection of blue dials, so I think that is likely one of them.

As for trying to decide between the white dial and the oysteflex, that's a tough one...

derrondoc · 31 October 2024, 07:42 AM

Fantastic collection. Good luck making the decision. I'd personally keep all of those Daytona's.

Arguably the best dial and subdials ever put on a modern Rolex.

Consolation prize, hardly.

But it's actually far easier to wear daily than the JM and just sails under the radar.......! That would be the one I'd keep.

KevNev · 31 October 2024, 07:53 AM

Keep the Oysterflex!

DaytonaAllDay · 31 October 2024, 07:55 AM

I'd keep every single Daytona and get rid of all the other "stuff".

Hemdog · 31 October 2024, 07:55 AM

Keep the Daytonas, sell the rest

Jonny8 · 31 October 2024, 08:03 AM

I would sell the oyster flex , and the one (or two) you like the least out of the SD, DSSD and milgauss. Maybe the FXD as well.

Nice marmot · 31 October 2024, 09:41 AM

Steel white dial and oyster flex would be the two I would get rid of.

jed11 · 31 October 2024, 09:48 AM

Let go of the oysterflex and SS.

Frankly, I d sell everything you have except for the three Daytonas and add the Patek. Those Daytonas are great. No way would I let the other John Mayer Daytona go...

FL2024 · 31 October 2024, 10:31 AM

Get rid of the panda. Vastly overrated watch for what it is imho.

Mr. Superlative · 31 October 2024, 01:14 PM

Diversity is overrated. Keep the Daytonas. Keep them all.

KY.. · 31 October 2024, 01:34 PM

Easy decision, keep the daytona’s and sky-dweller and toss the others to go toward the patek…

prnceofpersia23 · 31 October 2024, 02:24 PM

I'd keep the SS.

JAJ2349 · 31 October 2024, 02:50 PM

Tudor and Sky Dweller, sayonara.

Watch_aficionado · 31 October 2024, 02:59 PM

Like mentioned above, get rid of the Panda. Too much hype and there's a ton of replicas of it.

Daytona king · 31 October 2024, 03:54 PM

Sell the Milgaus and the DSSD. I have a rule. Don’t ever sell a Daytona. If you must the blue is the one to go.

I’m assuming you have the 116518 and if that’s the case that and the panda will be almost impossible to replace at retail the 2 I chose above are easy to get back if you miss them. I’d sell everything and keep the Daytonas and skyDs if that works.

Read my name. This is the only way. The king has spoken.

If you have to consolidate, I would keep the two PM Daytonas, and instead move the SS Daytona, Milgauss and Tudor towards your next watch.

Jackie Daytona · 31 October 2024, 10:24 PM

I’d keep the Oysterflex variant. Very cool and adds some variety to it all.

goldfixer21 · 31 October 2024, 10:32 PM

joli160 · 31 October 2024, 11:09 PM

Keep the SkyD and Oysterflex Daytona. Sell all the other stuff including the SS Daytona whilst it is still hot

Sublovin · 31 October 2024, 11:16 PM

I would keep the Daytona's and Deepsea. Next keep the skydweller. The rest can definitely go.

PenDelicate · 31 October 2024, 11:32 PM

White is further from black and rose gold is from black, so maximising the dial-diversity suggests keeping the SS Daytona.

But ... getting rid of any of those Daytonas is a Crime Against Horology. Don't visit The Hague anytime soon ...

watchwatcher · 31 October 2024, 11:38 PM

I'd move the IWC, the Milguass, and the blue dial 509. If it takes more than that, I wouldn't do it.

Robf52 · 31 October 2024, 11:55 PM

Keep the Daytona's and Sky-D.

TimeKeepsOnTicking · 31 October 2024, 11:55 PM

Which Daytona sees the most wrist time? Don't let that one go as that's the one you'll miss and want it back.

IMHO and if I needed to make the decision, the blue dial Daytona would stay and the Milgauss, DSSD, IWC and Tudor would be sold as this would give the best versatility. The collection would have a white dial on the steel Daytona, a blue dial on a PM Daytona and a black dial on the Sky Dweller.

Now I'd use the funds to get a rose or yellow gold Patek to cover all the bases!

chris007 · 31 October 2024, 11:59 PM

I have the impression that you loooooooove blue watches.

So keep the blue white gold daytona!
