Need help deciding....

Hello,

Need some opinions:

I have nib white dial Daytona, ceramic GMT and 16610LV.

Considering either selling the Daytona and getting either:
39mm Explorer and 1675 or 5513.

Or keeping the Daytona and getting a Speedy Pro.

Any and all suggestions appreciated.

Agreed. Would prefer the Speedy to the Datona TBH. One of the few Chronos that work for me.

You have 3 beautiful watches right there. Don't think too much about another one for awhile till you are really ready for it. Keep and save!

Don't sell the Daytona as it will keep it's value the best of all those options. Add a watch because you will likely miss the Daytona.

I went with option four as assume you need or use a chronograph.
If not I would go with vintage 1675 and the Exp I.

Really not sure I understand?

You want to sell the Daytona, have no chrono and get two other watches?

Or, you want to buy a Speedmaster and have two chronos?

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish with your collection?

Keep Daytona and get Speedy Pro, but whatever you do, keep the Daytona.

Your asking this cRazY bunch what to do...we flip watches like changing underwear
Your current collection is somewhat diverse already, unless the Daytona really isn't for you then sell it. I did, don't keep if you don't really wear it or don't like it.

The Exp II at least has a different look to it, the dial and bezel compared to Sub and GMT.

If you added a 1675 you would have 3 almost the same looking watches just with different bezels.

I would see if you can just add a Speedy Pro to your collection considering you can always pick one of those up fairy reasonable price.
If you sell you Daytona to fund that, you will probably flip in less than 3 months, I know I will take some heat for this....Speedy Pro iconic watch....but a little boring on the wrist (sorry) just my opinion
