Icon20 Datejust advice

Hi everyone, I need some advice. I recently purchased a White face SS Daytona. This is a watch that I have wanted for a long time. I also have an immaculate Rose Gold Date Just that I now rarely use. I find that the Daytona fits whatever I am wearing, from a coat and tie to jeans. I am thinking about seeing if I can trade the Date just for a No Date Sub. I am looking for more of an everyday watch that I can wear when I am at the beach, golfing, etc. I just wanted to see what the forum thought about this potential trade. Also where can I go to determine the proper value for my Date Just.

It's all a question of taste. You can look at different sources for your DJ, such as ebay and TZ and the for sale section here. Those should give you a good idea of value for your watch.
I'd wear my Daytona as an everyday and keep the DJ for special occasions (but that's just me).

Keep the DateJust and get yourself a Seiko divers, they're tough as nails for everyday wear.

The SKX007 model is what I have.

Or the Seiko MM300 if he wants a more cheaper Sub rival.

Very good advice!
Your DJ is something very beautiful and it`s really nice to have something as dressy as it is.
And for daily beater, you can`t go wrong with Seiko Diver`s, they`re very well built watches that will last you a lifetime, and good looking ones, too.

Keep your DJ. It's a great daily wear watch. Every single Rolex is made for daily wear. Wear a Rolex every day! That's what they are made for and what you paid for. You have a SS Daytona that has the low key covered and the rose gold DJ for a little more color. You've got it all covered already.

As i have posted several times both watches are Iconic, keep the Datejust, you will regret it if you part with it, it's a nice choice to have, Datejust or Daytona. Wear them at different times for different reasons.

I appreciate all of the advice and comments. I will probably follow the majority opinion and hold onto the Date Just and maybe pickup a used no date sub at a later date. Thanks again

Another vote for keeping both of your Rolex watches & getting the 007.......or if you can spring for it...the Seiko SBDX001, "MM300".
I am a big fan of the 007.......here's a 007 on Bond.......
