Rolex Daytona 116519 vs Rolex meteorite Pepsi

I've got a 116519 in my collection that I'm currently thinking of letting go and I think in its absence I'd grab a Meteorite Pepsi instead.

Thoughts? Would you guys do the swap or would you stick with the 116519?

Meteorite Pepsi trumps everything in the Daytona lineup except for, maybe, possibly, the Platona.

Its more exclusive and is absolutely gorgeous on the wrist.

I think the best of all would be WG Daytona meteorite dial with full bracelet.

WG Daytona meteorite dial with full bracelet > WG Pepsi meteorite dial > WG OF Daytona (regular dial).

First, your collection is insane. Well done.

Second, I think this trades makes great sense, especially considering you have the Platona already. I can’t imagine wearing the 519 much if I had a Platona. And I love (and own) the 519,

Trade approved!

Either meteorite would be amazing! I think I like the Daytona meteorite 116519 a little better because the black subdials break it up nicely.

Both just make me drool …

Prefer the GMT and full bracelet. And of course, that dial.
