guys I am in dilema I have a seadweller V serial one of the last ones which took me a lot of effort to get hold of, and I just got a Daytona SS V serial white dial.

I can only keep one what should i do? I like both

marke · 8 March 2010, 05:09 AM

Sell the Sea dweller.

the daytona is still a very very rare watch, and most sought after.

HL65 · 8 March 2010, 05:13 AM

If you can not keep them both--which I would try to do--I would keep the Daytona.

kahoot · 8 March 2010, 05:20 AM

I was confused because i wear the watch everyday i dont keep them in the safe so is the daytona everyday wearer or the sea dweller is better in terms of everyday use.

marke · 8 March 2010, 05:21 AM

both are every day wearers but the daytona is the rarer watch and if you truly need to sell one i would sell the seadweller.

You never know it may come back at some point int he near future.

mactrack · 8 March 2010, 05:30 AM

Depending on what you paid for the DSSD you might take a reasonable hit whereas if you paid list for the SS Daytona you should make a profit.

kahoot · 8 March 2010, 05:48 AM

its not DSSD its the seadweller V serial yes i paid the list price for the daytona

bayerische · 8 March 2010, 06:01 AM

I would keep the Sea-dweller. But I don't really like Daytonas.

karmatp · 8 March 2010, 06:04 AM

Personally, I prefer the SD. If money is a factor, the Daytona will get you 2X's what the SD will on resale.

JPersat · 8 March 2010, 06:04 AM

Which do you wear more often?

warrior · 8 March 2010, 06:05 AM

From a pure monetary and "collector" standpoint, I'd keep the Daytona and sell the SeaDweller. However, I don't like most chronos except for the legendary Omega Moonwatch.

If it was me, I'd keep the SeaDweller which I love, sell the Daytona, buy an Omega Moon, and then pocket the rest of the money!!

JMIND · 8 March 2010, 06:08 AM

If you don't mind possibly losing a little money sell the sea dweller. You'll have less trouble buying one back later if you so choose. If you need more money and want to get a least what you paid for the watch sell the Daytona, but keep in mind in today's market you'll have a harder time replacing it as quickly as you could the sea dweller, IMHO.

The GMT Master · 8 March 2010, 06:12 AM

I'd personally keep the Sea Dweller, you see fewer of them in the wild tbh, and I'd argue it's little more practical

LawMan · 8 March 2010, 06:29 AM

Daytona is not rare, in fact its a regular production watch, sea dweller is out of production. Everyone seems to forget rolex make hundreds of thousands of watches each year with tens of millions having been produced so i am not sure why when were talking about late production watches that the use of the word rare really adds anything. I have both and if i had to choose i would keep the daytona. Why, because its the watch everybody has that nobody can get but in the end you keep what you like the most.

bounce · 8 March 2010, 06:34 AM

I myself would keep the Seadweller, you can still pick a Daytona up in the future but your SD is one of the last made.

kahoot · 8 March 2010, 06:41 AM

That was the only reason i am in two minds as I think its hard to get a V serial seadweller than the daytona and never know if there will be another seadweller again as the deepsea is too big.

Nairn1980 · 8 March 2010, 06:44 AM

Once the recession disappears you will regret selling your Daytona....I sold a V-serial SD for my Brand new Daytona.

If you search the world you can find Daytonas these days....its a hard search but you can find them at ADs with a bit of work, but thats due to ADs calling people on their list, and the people on the list having to refuse due to finance issues.

Once the economy gets back getting a Daytona will be almost impossible.

The SD is a nice watch, and I loved mine, but its not a Daytona :)

I say Keep the Daytona and sell the SD...coz thats exactly what I did and the SD is still with the trader I sold it to 4 months on UNSOLD....that says theyre not as desireable as you would think.

gone-rolex-mad · 8 March 2010, 06:58 AM

Very tough call, if I had to I'd flog the SD, the Daytona is a legend!

kahoot · 8 March 2010, 07:12 AM

Nairn,
I got my seadweller from scotland as i was unable to get hold of one in London. I think you are right I might keep the daytona but i dont want everybody to notice the watch. The seadweller i am wearing for few months good thing is nobody notices it but i am not sure about the Daytona

So true.

The Speedy pro is the ultimate chrono, and with a nice discount, you can buy 4 of them for the price of the Daytona. It's just smart money to sell the Daytona and buy a Speedmaster, then you'll wonder what all the hype was about with the Daytona. Best of luck with your decision.

thatguitarplace · 8 March 2010, 10:02 AM

Daytona is not rare, in fact its a regular production watch..YEAH?
try to get one in england i have tried over 30 ad's today
and they are all quoting 3-7 years!!

The Daytona is not rare in terms of production numbers, there are tens of thousands out there, and it's not hard to find one (at a price). As I've said before, if you want a truly rare modern Daytona, get a TT or 18Ct one

Wildwing · 8 March 2010, 10:06 AM

You should sell the Daytona, as the Seadweller is more useful, but you should ask yourself a question. Why did I buy both, when it was obviously not appropriate?

kcmo · 8 March 2010, 10:22 AM

Go with your heart! I'd have a tough time parting with either, but I'd let go of the SD before the Daytona.

superb · 8 March 2010, 11:06 AM

i like both watches but i think i will let go of the SD.

Evan614 · 8 March 2010, 11:14 AM

Work more hours

and keep them both

TSW · 8 March 2010, 12:03 PM

Keep the Daytona!!

DOUBLE 0 SE7EN · 8 March 2010, 12:36 PM

daytona all the way..keep it..

Poom · 8 March 2010, 12:43 PM

Keep it both if you can afford. They are great Rolex models.

Penman · 9 March 2010, 05:22 PM

Keep the Daytona. Once the economy gets better, they will be much more difficult to get. I have a black dial SS that I have had for about 10 days, and it is a great watch.
