Opportunity to purchase 116518 PN dial from AD.

[Liza]

Dear all,

I got a call from a new AD for a Daytona OF old reference 116518 LN. I had requested the watch about 2 years ago and this would be my first purchase with this AD.

I slightly prefer the newer reference 126518 PN but i also dont want to turn this down considering i quite like it as well. I can go for the old reference or i can be put on a list for a newer one with no guaranteed delivery time.

What would you do in this scenario?
Which reference do you prefer and which one do you think will be more collectible 10 years+ down the road? I intend to wear the watch on regular rotation (1-2 times a week).
