Rolex116520 · 29 April 2009, 03:26 PM

116520 by far , no doubt here

diablojota · 29 April 2009, 03:28 PM

Daytona.

G M · 29 April 2009, 03:30 PM

Daytona...Timeless.

hflee55 · 29 April 2009, 03:31 PM

daytona...but ask me this question in the panerai section and you might get a different answer....hehe

mdtddd2007 · 29 April 2009, 04:12 PM

jay_kay · 29 April 2009, 04:43 PM

I know what you mean. I bought a black face SS Daytona, had it for 2 weeks and sold it. Am considering a 233 PAM at the moment. Also considering the Deepsea.

topgun · 29 April 2009, 05:22 PM

no doubts,,,, daytona 100%

Atomant · 29 April 2009, 05:32 PM

pfffff, should there even be a poll on this? Daytona hands down.

Dom · 29 April 2009, 05:57 PM

Daytona. But nobody says you can't buy a Panerai as well ... They go pretty well together in a collection. I know the feeling you are having. But believe me the Daytona is an awesome watch and my Panerai hasn't seen much daylight lately.

Esquire · 29 April 2009, 05:59 PM

Loved the 233 till I saw it in person and tried it on. If it was 42mm it would be perfect, but at 44mm it was just awkward.

So...Daytona!

rollie · 29 April 2009, 06:07 PM

Daytona all the way!!!!

33JS · 29 April 2009, 06:32 PM

Deep Sea - the Daytona image is starting to tarnish somewhat. So many people are buying Daytonas for the wrong reasons these days....

I'm curious what the wrong reason to buy a Daytona is?

Starwalker · 29 April 2009, 06:45 PM

DAYTONA! allll the way......i dont believe that the image is starting to tarnish...and purely buying it for the "hype" IMO is buying it for the wrong reasons......for me it was a close call between the daytona and cartier roadster chronograph...but i got the daytona this time...because it was more easily attainable and the premium had crashed.....the roadster i will get later......its been 4 months since i got the daytona and i still think its the sex bomb!

walds11 · 29 April 2009, 07:21 PM

You made the right decision. Daytona

abr68 · 29 April 2009, 10:10 PM

Daytona

Have you thought about a 16520 or even a "Vintage" model ?
These are great

Sell it, get rid of it (since you don't like it). Problem solved

Vlad@GKScott · 30 April 2009, 05:51 PM

Second thoughts about Daytona? No way!

I never had a chance to wear one, but we had one for sale not so long ago. Just holding it in my hands and looking at it was giving me goose bumps :).

Especially the SS one with a black dial!!! Don't even think about it twice!!! :)

m3mike · 7 May 2009, 07:26 AM

...had a ss before, wore it for a week...but found it too blingy for my taste and with my 7.5in wrist it kinda looked small... i settled for a gmtII ceramic though.

Imtiaz · 30 April 2009, 05:56 PM

Daytona for me too. The 116250 has the first Rolex in-house chronograph movement and this is a superb movement.

rolex_addict · 30 April 2009, 06:06 PM

no brainer! daytona

Singslinger · 30 April 2009, 06:08 PM

Why are you having second thoughts?

shedlock2000 · 30 April 2009, 08:32 PM

I already know that I will offend half the world here but,..... I just cant stand any PAN have seen. There just not for me, too art deco and fenickety.

So my choice would be the Daytona with out a doubt, (but i dont like thoes either!) my choice would be to go for a nice GMT!

bran319 · 1 May 2009, 01:03 AM

233...Not a huge Pam fan but I think it is a stunning watch.

Randy · 1 May 2009, 01:12 AM

I own both, they are unique in there own ways. Daytona and PAM233 are very desirable watches. Your post on Paneristi or here in Panerai forum would have different views.
