What addition(s) of Daytonas to your collection would you make?

Price is an object - so this would be something you budget for and put together over time, staying mindful of resources.

* White 16520
* Black 16520
* White 116520
* Black 116520
* White 16520, Black 16520
* White 16520, Black 116520
* White 116520, Black 16520
* White 116520, Black 116520
* All Four Daytonas
* None, the watch leaves me cold

I do well but don't have vast resources, so all four is not something I could put together in a foreseeable window of time.

So for me, it would be the White 16520, Black 116520. I like the more classic look of the subdials on the White 16520, but I think the newer Black 116520 looks real sharp. And I get the benefit of two different-looking, classic models for my permanent collection.

If I was adding a daytona to the collection, it would be the white dial 116520.

I like this idea best if it works

Kanawha · 6 June 2015, 02:30 AM

I'd add the black and white 16520.

beshannon · 6 June 2015, 02:52 AM

Already have mine

Fresh_1 · 6 June 2015, 05:31 AM

I think your poll needs correcting as you have the same option twice, but would be 2 116520 for me first black then white.

Don't I know it! But I'm a lawyer working stiff - a wide eyed manchild in the big city. So I am keeping it relatively close to the ground for me.

But I'd love one, too.

I tried to be careful, what option is listed twice? Thanks!

I have a white dialed 116520 and now, looking for a black dialed version!

brettpaul · 7 June 2015, 01:19 AM

White 116520 and white 16520....have the first!

GsurgBM · 7 June 2015, 01:52 AM

Black

padi56 · 7 June 2015, 02:54 AM

No modern day Daytona excites me there is only one Daytona and IMHO and its not any of the modern day ones.

GradyPhilpott · 7 June 2015, 07:09 AM

If Rolex made an SS Daytona that was legible, I'd probably have one by now, but since they don't and it appears that they have no intention of doing so, I probably will never have one and there's nothing wrong with that.

I wish this was an option, but most of those are too expensive now to even consider - at least for my budget.

To the OP, this is an easy choice: white 116520.

Speed · 9 June 2015, 12:28 AM

Speedy Pro. Black dial, 1/3 the price, legible...and 42mm for you size queens! ;-)

Frankly I'd be happy with about any Daytona, stainless or other. Great watches!

SearChart · 9 June 2015, 02:40 AM

6263 or platona, the rest really leaves me cold. Not a big daytona fan.

travisb · 9 June 2015, 03:10 AM

Already having a black 16520, I could see myself adding a white 116520 at some point.

Headshrinker · 9 June 2015, 06:33 AM

I have the black because the white had such a long wait...still love it.

rollee1 · 9 June 2015, 06:53 AM

Just the 116520 ss white.
Anything more I'll go straight to pm.

WWC · 9 June 2015, 11:03 AM

Black 116520!

Suprachiasmatic77 · 9 June 2015, 11:12 AM

Go with black!

tkerrmd · 9 June 2015, 11:23 AM

Love both, got white for my son, if for me black!
