Daytona dilema

Trying to decide which one to keep and which one to sell.
Love both of these Daytonas for different reasons.
Reference 116528 and 116520, both have random serial numbers.
Any suggestions?

Are these your “only” 2 watches? If so, sell the 528. The 520 is an easier everyday wear.
If you have other watches we need to know which ones to give an informed suggestion!

The gold would be nice as an occasional wearer but I would keep the steel one as an all-arounder.

I'd sell the YG. I'd take white metals any day.

All his other watches are SS. Maybe keep the 528 so you have something different.

I'd part with the gold. SS value will always be there.

Given your collection, I'd keep the gold (and swap the dial to the Newman).

I’ll keep the 520 easy. A future classic and can wear everyday and dress watch as well.
Cheers.

Keep the gold. You’ve got other stainless watches.

The white gold Daytona on Oysterflex is very appealing.

Keep the gold, sell the 520 and get a stainless ceramic.
