I'm not a fan of the 190, so it would be the Daytona without thinking twice.

Keep the Sub, leave the Canolli.

I think you should keep your favorite Sub, sell the other Sub, and get the Z serial White Daytona. The 190 looks a little like your 183. The Daytona is unlike any other watch in your collection. Very dressy too.

My two cents.

Easy decision if it were me, Daytona all the way, but it would be with the black dial. I'm a Luminor man myself and not real crazy about the rads.

That being said, get the one that smiles at you the most!

Of the two, I'd get the 190. Limited number made, JLC movement, gold hands. Even though the daytona is hard to get, there are still so many more than there ever will be of the 190.

The daytona, even though I love the thought of it, and wanted one for quite a while, just doesn't look that great when I tried it on.

If it were actually me though, I would get neither. I'm not a great fan of most Rads. They make me look old!

I tend to find the Daytonas a bit hard to read, it's a small dial with a lot of clutter on it and no date function. I did go through a phase of wanting one, but when i had the money and the opportunity to buy one earlier this year i went for a PAM and a Sub instead, for the money they're just not worth it, they may sell well but are they the best watch at that pricepoint, or are they just the watch that a lot of people want?

I'm also not a great fan of the Radomirs, i prefer the Luminor and i'm also in the middle of a crisis, thinking should i sell my current PAM to get a 233 or just stick with what i've got.

I think Daytona is more good in the future, right?
But sometime, I don't need the future, even I already a bit boring (sorry Folks) with Subs after I bought not more than 5 month!!!

Why do you want a 183 and a 190? You would wear the 190 all the time and the 183 would sit there all alone.

190 is a great watch
White SS Daytona is stunning!!!!

What to do, what to do....

Don't trade your LV. You'll regret it.

I'd wait longer if I were you and trade your 14060m and your 183 + cash for the 190.

Keep the Subs and cancel the deal :)

You have to keep one or two sport Rolex in your collection. Talking about diversity in your collection...

You already have 183, although 190 isn't the same watch like 183 by any means, but the look is almost the same. I'd trade 183 + cash or Sub for 190.

Or... trade the subs with black dial Daytona, I love black dial for Daytona.... that's just me.

Good luck on your decision bro! Keep us updated for sho...

I hope I can do that trade. But if fail, I think I will keep my Subs.
I still love my LV.

Honestly I don't really like chrono watch. I'm afraid if I trade with Daytona, someday I will flip that (again).

hmmm

Tuff one TR .

the Daytona is an Icon, however the 190 is a limited production with the JLC movement. there quite diffrent i have to say on one hand you have the chrono, what is also quite small (IMHO), compared to the Rad. on the other side a very calm Pan.

i think there both great watches, and a tuff choice, my preference would go towards the 190, purely due to the limited 2050 amount made of them. And a Daytona end off the day is more easy to pick up.However i have to agree you might find that the 183 would see little wrist time , as they are virtually similair. the big diffrence here is off course the movement.
not sure if i would trade the subs to be honest.. i would prob flip the 183. but thats me .. this way you keep some diffrence in your collection.

good luck in anyway you cant go wrong...

You answered your own question if you do not like chronos. Keep what you have.
