Thought the Daytona would be the last one esp with the shortage.

Got the 116500 at retail in 2017 and thought it would be the last for a long time. This year, due to lack of travel etc.,I managed to add a few more. Wouldn't mind a Rolex GMT but not paying 22K for one lol. Much happier with the other 3 which aren't much more than a GMT combined.

how does the zenith compare to the rolex (ignoring the brand)?

You can pick up regular GMTs from like 2011-2015 for 11-14k :D

Curious about this as well. I’ve been eyeing the Zenith for a while now…

The zenith is beautiful. It’s more interesting, beautiful view of the movement, 1/10 of a second makes more sense as I don’t know anything that’s timed in 1/8s, the subdials are centered at 3-9. Date is nice. But due to the hype the Daytona is worth more but that’s about it. Doesn’t look or feel anything like my Daytona. Completely diff watch.

Awesome collection OP, and I agree with your sentiments. I had a Rolex BLRO, and although I loved it and feel it to be one of the top 2 most important Rolex models (fullstop), I would NOT take it over the 3 other watches you were able to add for the same market price.

Awesome stuff, enjoy!

I would sell your middle two and add the BLRO on Jubilee.

Just do it, brother! Why can't the AD that got you your 500LN hook you up...they are not around any longer?

Got my Daytona in 2017. Now it’s much harder to get even a submariner. I’ve asked them many times. May happen someday but I refuse gray. I don’t even want it that bad.
