Watch advice.
Good morning forum!

I am currently looking to add another Rolex to the safe

I am stuck between two watches and style of watch.

First up is Bi Metal Sub blue dial - I do have a 2001 classic sub already.
Second is Daytona SS white dial or Bi Metal but which dial to go for?



Simon.

It's a toss up between TT sub Blusey vs SS Daytona. If you already have a sub get the Daytona.

If you're looking at the TT Daytona, panda dial all the way.

Since you already have a Sub, get the Daytona for variety

116520 (black dial) IMO you won't regret it.

Hmm a lot of love for the Black face SS Daytona. I have a Sub and a GMT 2 so would probably look at a white face.

Daytona for more diversity.

The only problem will be you need wanting to wear any of your other SS Rolex watches.
