GOAL: Stainless Steel Daytonas for your collection?

What addition(s) of Daytonas to your collection would you make?

Price is an object - so this would be something you budget for and put together over time, staying mindful of resources.

* White 16520
* Black 16520
* White 116520
* Black 116520
* White 16520, Black 16520
* White 16520, Black 116520
* White 116520, Black 16520
* White 116520, Black 116520
* All Four Daytonas
* None, the watch leaves me cold

I do well but don't have vast resources, so all four is not something I could put together in a foreseeable window of time.

So for me, it would be the White 16520, Black 116520. I like the more classic look of the subdials on the White 16520, but I think the newer Black 116520 looks real sharp. And I get the benefit of two different-looking, classic models for my permanent collection.

If I was adding a daytona to the collection, it would be the white dial 116520.

I think your poll needs correcting as you have the same option twice, but would be 2 116520 for me first black then white.

I tried to be careful, what option is listed twice? Thanks!

Don't I know it! But I'm a lawyer working stiff - a wide eyed manchild in the big city. So I am keeping it relatively close to the ground for me.

But I'd love one, too.

I wish this was an option, but most of those are too expensive now to even consider - at least for my budget.

To the OP, this is an easy choice: white 116520.

If Rolex made an SS Daytona that was legible, I'd probably have one by now, but since they don't and it appears that they have no intention of doing so, I probably will never have one and there's nothing wrong with that.

Frankly I'd be happy with about any Daytona, stainless or other. Great watches!

6263 or platona, the rest really leaves me cold. Not a big daytona fan.

Already having a black 16520, I could see myself adding a white 116520 at some point.
