Need a little help with my next Rolex

Hello
IŽll be 40 next year and want to have a new watch. Probably have to buy it myself...Have been saving for some time now.

Right now I have narrowed it down to a 1665 seadweller or Daytona SS (Zenith).

Price is about the same, just canŽt decide which way to go.

Right now I have: Rolex Sub 16610 (considering giving it to my girlfriend)
Rolex GMT:1675 Pepsi (birthyear)
Omega Seamaster chrono diver
Omega Speedmaster

Let me hear your thoughts.

Thanks for your time.

//Fred

Definitely the Zenith Daytona. Your already have Sub and GMT. I think a SD is too similar in style to the Sub and GMT. I would actually sell the Sub and GMT and buy the 1665.

I agree with the others, Daytona. I prefer the white face if possible though.

Looking at your current collection, Zenith would fit in there nicely!

If you are going for a Daytona get the Zenith. The El Primero movement is beyond iconic.
