Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Vs Rolex Datejust 41 Diamonds Black Dial

Hello guys! I'm new here and I'm desperate I need your help/opinion.

I can not figure out what to buy, it is between 116523 Rolex Daytona Steel/Gold Diamond Black Dial and 126333 Rolex Datejust 41 Diamonds Black Dial Jubilee Bracelet.

Please share your opinion.

Many thanks !

I would choose the Daytona 50:1 to anything with diamonds.

Definitely the Daytona it is a lovely Watch no matter what metal it’s in. Here is my T/T Daytona 116503 (New Model) White MOP 8 Diamonds Dial which I picked up in May

Well...what appeals to you more, a watch with a date or a chronograph function?

Are you getting a good deal on the TT Daytona? I wouldn’t pay retail price for it. The TT value drops a lot compared to a SS Daytona.

How much did you end up paying for this piece? I've had my eye on the one with the dark mother of pearl for some time.

I dunno the daytona is nice but a TT DJ is just that classic 80's degenerate watch. Like a coked out wall street american psycho type with a duck tail and a double breasted valentino pinstripe and oliver peoples hornrims....whereas the daytona is more texas oil money gator cowboys with 501's but also drives a ferrari instead of a cadillac.

I think what you have to ask yourself is what does your wardrobe look like??? ...do you have wild sexy parties on a yacht or in a highrise? Lamborghini or bentley? Zegna or Tom Ford?

For me the DJ, for its date function and fluted bezel
