Hi guys...

Looking at picking one of these beautiful Daytona's.... I just love both and can't decide on which one to get... So let's have some fun with this poll... Which one would you get?

Daytona Steel Black Dial
Daytona White Gold Blue Dial

Blue dial is stunning, but in my experience any PM scratches too easily....I probably wear my watches too hard.

That is my concern as well

AK797 · 23 November 2016, 12:16 AM

I'd wait until Basel, a possible WG ceramic would be your ideal watch.

Etschell · 23 November 2016, 12:19 AM

yes wait until basel imo its not far away. if nothing then id go for the WG.

rmlovett1 · 23 November 2016, 12:20 AM

Blue dial...easy pick as my favorite color is blue.

Pick the C. You won't loose any money if you buy it a retail. So you can enjoy it for a bit and then if you feel the desire flip it for the blue. One of the only Rolexes you can do that with.

Stealerfan86 · 23 November 2016, 12:43 AM

All things equal

Im not a fan of black SS ceramic so easy choice WG Daytona

This is definitely your best advice if you're on the fence.

rebel_1 · 23 November 2016, 01:04 AM

WG for me. I'm not a huge fan of the "500" black dial.

GB-man · 23 November 2016, 01:05 AM

116500 for me. I'm a ceramic junkie.

RichM · 23 November 2016, 01:13 AM

I voted for the 500 for now. Put a ceramic bezel on that WG and I'm there.

Watchflair · 23 November 2016, 01:17 AM

This is an easy one for me and it should be for you too......

Which one speaks to you?

If you are still up in the air I would go with the Black Ceramic Stainless (I'd personally go with that one regardless). Easy to flip and for a profit at that. The precious metal models tend to depreciate much faster.

Also, from personally having had a Daytona the polished bezel is a scratch magnet(same thing with the Explorer II I have).

m j b · 23 November 2016, 01:18 AM

Well, since it's not my money, WG. Love that dial.

Hilarious. But really, I'd pick the C all day. Love the blue but for day to day, and value retention, go with the C.

melman · 23 November 2016, 01:49 AM

C 👌🏻

LOL...

what do you think!

RMC12 · 23 November 2016, 02:00 AM

PM over steel usually wins and with the added value of that gorgeous blue dial, it's a no brainer for me.

sea-dweller · 23 November 2016, 02:29 AM

I like the black dial...

Investr · 23 November 2016, 02:31 AM

Two different animals and two different tax brackets! If price is no object, BLUE hands down!!!

Cru Jones · 23 November 2016, 02:32 AM

if a daily, the black with ceramic, but as a special piece (and both can easily be a special piece in a collection), i'd go with the WG & blue.

Muzz · 23 November 2016, 02:35 AM

If you could swing it both as they are drastically different in appearance.

WAK4 · 23 November 2016, 03:12 AM

116500 in black is my favorite all around Daytona....but that blue is awesome...start with the steel, enjoy it, and wait for pricing to come down on the white gold...and if you still want it, flip the steel (if necessary) and get the gold.

locutus49 · 23 November 2016, 03:36 AM

I prefer the blue dial as blue is my favorite color (for our Brit friends, colour).

Trurolexer · 23 November 2016, 03:43 AM

Black dial

r8t3d_M · 23 November 2016, 03:46 AM
