Should I part trade my LV for a Daytona white dial?

Hey guys.

I need your advice here.

I have the TT blue 16613 and the LV16610 – great watches, no doubt. I really like to shift between watches. I work as consultant – got my own company – and I attend various meetings every day: Business owners, banks, etc. The two tone is great for more formal meetings and the LV16610 is great for less formal meetings.

My dilemma is that I have started to really want the Daytona white dial, but I find it hard to justify yet another watch. Not because of the money but more the fact that it will be the third watch in less than two months!

So my plan is – part trade the LV16610 for the Daytona SS. They are both SS versions. So the Daytona can take over the place as more informal watch..

I could also wait 5-6 months and then buy the Daytona (But I don’t like waiting – it’s a weakness in my character.. Sorry). – I could also say wth we only live once.. My wife thinks I am crazy..

What do you say? Will I regret letting the LV go?

Thanks..

Interesting, purchased an LV Sub a few months ago. My daytona has been sitting ever since. Too hard to read. I'm probably going to sell it.

I think you'll reret it. You could always put a black insert on it.

Get the Daytona!!!!
I see LV's a few times a week, a Daytona once a week or once every other week.

White Daytona goes with everything an LV doesnt.

Well, I see much more Daytonas than LV's

In the wild I never saw an LV while I saw probably a few dozen Daytonas

a daytona is such a common watch

Don't run after the watch that USED to be a hype

your 16610Lv is much more rare and will always be since they are discontinued.
