116500 black face or 116681 ? Which one?

I’m torn between the black ceramic Daytona or getting the YM II TT with the everose gold. They are both around 20k Mark . Please help me decide . I can’t do it on my own

The Daytona would be my choice. Not a fan of the YM II.

I bet those watches wear very differently from each other. Try them on and see if that helps you decide?

Daytona black. It’s probably the most versatile watch in the Rolex stable today imo. The YM II doesn’t work on my wrists and the watch face is far too busy.

Cheers

The watches couldn't be more different. Have you tried both on? I love the YMII and have it in YG. It's a huge watch and has a lot of wrist presence. The Daytona is a great watch, but is relatively petite compared to the YMII. It'll be easier to get the YM. It will ultimately come down to what feels right on your wrist. Happy Hunting.

I own the 116500LN in Black, and it is a great watch.

I think though if you are looking to pay secondary prices, get the 116520 Black dial, I think it's a better value for the money.
