ROLEX DAYTONA : 116519LN

ROLEX YACHTMASTER 42 : 226659

Thank

I’ve got a soft spot for the Smurf so that would get my vote

Smurf - love it.

The Daytona is pretty awesome as well.

And the YM is no slouch!

116519LN by far (although I must confess I am a little bit biased cause I do love it), the newest WG Submariner would be different. I think a 116619LB would attract too much attention. From my point of view, a ghost is more discreet to non watch experts.

Great trio to consider! For everyday wear, I’d probably lean towards the Daytona 116519LN. Its versatility, especially with the Oysterflex, keeps it refined yet sporty enough for daily use.

As for the grail, the Smurf 116619LB is hard to beat. That white gold case with the blue dial is an absolute showstopper and has that unique factor. The Yacht-Master 42 has incredible wrist presence, though, so if you’re after something slightly more under-the-radar luxe, it’s a strong contender too. Each brings something unique, it really comes down to your style!

The Submariner Date, only because the Daytona is on OF and not on bracelet.

I guess the Smurf, though not as a daily.
I need a date.
All our great watches!

The Smurf followed by the YM. I like the Daytona but would want it on a bracelet.

The Submariner.

I love the YM, but the Sub is too good of a PM allrounder to deny.
