Hi guys,

I have an opportunity to buy a well worn 16520 black zenith at 22,000.

But my wife insist that I need to sell the 1675 mk5 with a really nice insert to make way for it.

Which will you choose? Keep my current 1675 or sell it and buy the 16520 black?

Pic for your reference please.

bobernet · 26 April 2019, 01:26 PM

Keep the GMT and save longer for the Daytona.

traf · 26 April 2019, 01:30 PM

Need photos of the Daytona, but based on that 1675, it’s going to have to be pretty damned nice!

Keep that gmt at all costs. The zenith will come later and, the novelty of ownership would wear off and, you’ll miss the hell out of that beautiful GMT you have there. I would only do it if you’re a one-watch-guy. And, even then, think it over first. The zenith is an entirely different wearer, dressier and, well, its a Daytona. I use my zenith usually as a more formal occasion piece. A sports watch it may be by name but, it isn’t in reality.

Jaff03 · 26 April 2019, 02:54 PM

Keep the GMT and save for the Daytona,you will definitely get it if you save it will only take more time.

chows99 · 26 April 2019, 03:27 PM

Thanks all for the advice. Please keep it coming. The zenith is a typical black Daytona:

I thought Daytona is the most coveted model ahead of GMT and that's why I am wondering. Thanks!

Cru Jones · 26 April 2019, 03:41 PM

“Most coveted model”?

Not sure if that’s right and who cares if it is. I buy only what I like most.

Personally, I think your GMT is more special (and beautiful) and I wouldn’t flip.

I would keep your 1675 because it looks beautiful.

subtona · 26 April 2019, 04:33 PM

1675!!

2001jesper · 26 April 2019, 04:39 PM

Can you keep a “small” 22k secret from your wife?

Otherwise keep the 1675

Watcheroo · 26 April 2019, 05:02 PM

That’s a beautiful 1675. I wouldn’t let it go, even though I really like that Daytona.

Keep the GMT and save for the Daytona. That’s what I’d do

Never let that beautiful 1675 go for what is arguably the most over hyped watch on the planet (In my humble opinion)

I like Daytonas. I’ve had two.

But I would never sell that 1675 to buy one

henrylee · 26 April 2019, 05:12 PM

I’d keep the 1675, it’s a beauty. If your tired of it then let it go for the Daytona.

chows99 · 26 April 2019, 05:53 PM

Thanks all for the overwhelming response. My head is clearer now!

Amazing · 26 April 2019, 06:38 PM

Both very nice watches. I'd keep the GMT if I had to choose.

abozz · 26 April 2019, 07:14 PM

KEEP that beautiful GMT and try to convince your wife that the Daytona is a good investment that is revalued every day and that selling the GMT would be a mistake.

Keep the GMT, beautiful watch. You won't find one like that again.

piratfisk · 26 April 2019, 07:52 PM

"Most coveted" says who? The hoi polloi? Keep the GMT; It's lovely! Save for the Daytona.

Onequik135i · 26 April 2019, 07:54 PM

Keep that beauty, add the zenith later when funds or wife permits.

chows99 · 26 April 2019, 08:04 PM

Listening to a bunch of strangers with such an undisputed response has validated my decision to keep my 1675.

You guys are awesome. Thanks again!

bp1000 · 26 April 2019, 08:10 PM

1675 is irreplaceable

The age individually and therefore unique.

Those Daytona’s all look “pretty much” the same

1William · 26 April 2019, 09:30 PM

I would keep the GMT and discuss with the wife the Daytona market and the value of the watch. Not an investment but a good place to park some money and have an item that can be used. If she will not budge then just sit tight and save.

joli160 · 26 April 2019, 09:37 PM

How much do you love your wife ?

:

Keep the GMT

Ljung · 26 April 2019, 09:48 PM

Find a second wife, so that you can add the Daytona without the need to flip your GMT.

Of course i am joking.
I would keep the gmt if i were you, since you have been through with it for all these years.

That Daytona is great but I would not let your 1675 go to get it. I'm a huge Daytona fan but I really love vintage GMT's too. This would be a tough decision for me. I would keep yours and find some way to buy the Daytona as well. If not, I would pass as I wouldn't be able to let go of that beautiful GMT!

Jcy90 · 26 April 2019, 10:37 PM

Keep the gmt

jaychief · 26 April 2019, 10:45 PM
