Bluesy 126613LB or Daytona black 116500

Greetings all,
Unfortunately I have to offload a piece due to family circumstances. I really like both. Which would you keep as a one and only?
Cheers!

Daytona much harder to come by if your situation changes down the road. The bluesy is much more attainable. That being said, only you can decide which one you like best to keep. Don't let a bunch of strangers tell you which one you should keep.

Sorry to hear - you have to keep the Daytona, get the bluesy again down the road.

Good point. I will probably never be able to require a the Daytona in the future. And as a one only piece more versatile. Looks like an easy decision��

Keep the Daytona. You can get bluesy at AD in the future.

If you’re in a position where you suddenly need cash, then maybe selling both is a good idea.

Easy answer is Daytona.
The better question is how much cash do you need and for what reason? That would help me gauge what I’d really do in this situation.

I have both, and I am having a hard time in offering an opinion.

I would say …

I would think you would get more for the Daytona, so if the amount you get is a factor, then sell the Daytona.

If you like the 126500 more than the 116500, sell the Daytona, and replace it one day with the 126500.

If selling the “Bluesy” is enough, then sell the Bluesy, as it will be easier to replace in the future.

I must admit I've never understood why anyone would ask total strangers what they should buy, sell, or do with their money. Appears my view is not in the majority here.

I tend to agree.

I don’t see a problem with someone seeking guidance about choosing a watch, but this particular thread just seems odd.

In agreement as well. However, I don't necessarily agree with Krash with regards to giving advice as to what to buy. This is 100% a personal decision. What I like may not be what you like. We can give advice, but in the end, you've got to try it on the wrist to see if it is something you might like/love, not what others might like.

My decision would be based on how much money I needed to raise, and which watch would get me there. If both watches get you there, then I’d sell the one l wear/like the least.

It can help with confirming a tough decision you have to make, and also someone might mention a point you haven't thought of so no harm in taking on as much info as possible, certainly doesn't mean anyone has to do as we say, but we tend to support POVs we already have.

I appreciate your comment. I was thinking I was going to get some flak. But you’re suggesting I didn’t take it far enough, so that’s good.

Sad to read you need to sell, personally I’d part with both, sort out whatever it is you need to, and when the time is right purchase another watch.
I hold zero sentiment to bought by myself watches, other events in life have more importance.
If bought by a parent or family member I’d struggle to part with.
All the best whatever happens ..

Prefer the 126613LB as a watch but it would seem the Daytona would be the one to keep.

If these are the only two watches you have, the Daytona is better for a one watch collection as the bluesy is too flashy for a daily in my book.
