My AD has a DSSD available now and I'm promised the next Daytona SS( white or Black ) he gets in a couple of weeks. What to do...

I would wait for the daytona but thats me.

If you can't afford to buy both then I would buy the SS Daytona. Reason being is the ability to resell the Daytona will be a lot easier then the DSSD should you ever have to sell your watch.

sctp39 · 24 October 2008, 05:14 AM

Yeah, I know that the Daytona is hard to come by but the DSSD was something else when I put in on my wrist. My GMT IIC didn't come close...

Klokke · 24 October 2008, 05:19 AM

Get the Daytona and a Panerai.

mldaytona · 24 October 2008, 05:38 AM

No need to think, get the DeepSea since you like it so much.

toph · 24 October 2008, 05:39 AM

for me 100% the daytona - but thats my personal preference

pittster · 24 October 2008, 05:57 AM

most of the above is biased advice IMO based on individual/personal opinion.

have you tried both on your wrist? If not then you should do.

Are you buying to keep, or as most of us here, will you end up px/selling it further down the line.

If you plan to keep, and as you have already said you love the DSSD, then you should buy it.

If you might sell/flip in the near future then the Daytona is the one that will hold its price better in the second hand market.

I have been in your shoes in the recent past, and I chose the DSSD.

vduzin12 · 24 October 2008, 05:59 AM

i have both and like you said the deep sea wears well if you have the wrist for it. the daytona is smaller but harder to obtain and resales better. in the end please yourself and not others

frostie · 24 October 2008, 06:01 AM

I would go for the daytona too

pilfilr · 24 October 2008, 06:06 AM

The Daytona is too small of a watch for me.... DSSD all the way!

If you like the Daytona's small size...then get the Daytona. Can't go wrong! Especially if the price is good.

If you like a hunk of a watch and don't want a Panerai, Breitling, etc. then get a DSSD!

rolex_addict · 24 October 2008, 06:11 AM

i would get the daytona :)

dimpkins · 24 October 2008, 06:18 AM

Daytona for me too, the Deep Sea is a very big fella which I think limits the times you can wear it, great piece of kit though,

DAVIDSW · 24 October 2008, 06:26 AM

You sound as though you like the DSSD very much. I would wait a bit until the Daytona comes in to have a try on and see if it sings to you. My best advice is to buy what you love... Do not buy the daytona because it is "RARE" as you will be making a mistake.

Best of luck

Mike B · 24 October 2008, 06:41 AM

I would go for the DSSD. Bigger watch, has a date, and . . . well that's just MY personal preference. Just not that big of a Daytona fan.

karmatp · 24 October 2008, 06:49 AM

If you are going to spend that much on a watch and want a diver, you should buy the ultimate diver made IMHO, the Blancpain Fifty fathoms. I love the Rolex brand but the way they have been raising the prices, I would look towards other brands. The SDDS is extremely overpriced, and if it was me about to spend that much cash, the fifty fathoms would get my money. I know this is a Rolex forum and I would never talk down about the brand, but the fifty fathoms came before the sub and Rolex has been playing catch up ever since.

If you want a chrono, I like the daytona but love the Blancpain once again.

Not my pic. but it is stunning.

sctp39 · 24 October 2008, 07:12 AM

sheesh... If the DSSD was around 7k, it'd be a no brainer.

WatchTimes · 24 October 2008, 07:38 AM

DSSD without a doubt..
I have it and LOVE it.
If you like the DSSD get it and don't think twice.
If you aren't sure, get the Daytona.

mike · 24 October 2008, 07:45 AM

There's no right or wrong answer. I can only say since you mention you already have a IIc, for me it would be the Daytona. (He says while anxiously awaiting a DSSD

)

Art 1 · 24 October 2008, 07:47 AM

I know what I would do, the question is what are YOU going to do.

sphereman · 24 October 2008, 07:47 AM

daytona always gets the top priority !!

deepsea price is dropping like the stock market.. i am sure you can get at least 15% off on deepsea before this year end

Daytona!!

sctp39 · 24 October 2008, 07:53 AM

I know for a fact that the AD's been pretty slow recently( he told me ). I've got a crazy thought... I'm gonna ask for 15% off. My chances?

sctp39 · 24 October 2008, 07:56 AM

Somebody beat me to the 15%. I'm gonna try. Will post the update.

chicagowatchman · 24 October 2008, 07:57 AM

Daytona!

Z-Sub · 24 October 2008, 07:59 AM

If you prefer DSSD then there is no dilema. If you also really like Daytona and want one and you don't have to buy the DSSD first to get the Daytona then you should get Daytona first.

joeyk · 24 October 2008, 08:39 AM

take both ;-)

Atlanta · 24 October 2008, 09:06 AM

Daytona would be my choice - it is more 'everyday" wear than DSSD.

JJ Irani · 24 October 2008, 10:12 AM

If you plan on keeping the watch, then go with the one YOU like.

Personally, if I had a choice between those two, then I'd opt for the DSSD!!

tomc1944 · 24 October 2008, 10:20 AM

Have both. Love my Daytona but the DSSD is awesome. Go for it.

ttannert · 24 October 2008, 10:27 AM

A few weeks ago the AD called me with a DSSD. I went and tried it on and I decided to wait for the Daytona. I am very pleased that I did. I love it!
