Hi All,

New member here although I've been a secret admirer of the site for some time.

At present I have a 2014 ceramic black date sub and a 2016 White gold bezel SS date just II with diamonds spots.

I've always loved the Daytona (white face) and with the new one out and recent surge in sales, I want one ha. I've got a 2013 white SS on hold atm but in order to fund the purchase I would need to sell both, as my other love cars has me spending on a new purchase. At present I wear my sub everyday, wet / dry, suits / shorts. And my DJ on weekends. Is it wise to sell both and get the Daytona ? I know how good it looks, but can I call it dressy? My DJ looks great with a shirt / blazer etc.
I can post some pics if anyone's interested - any opinion would help, thanks :)

I wouldn't, but that's me.

Welcome to the boards!

fskywalker · 19 July 2016, 04:00 AM

Welcome! Yes pictures of yours would be helpful! Probably a 2 for 1 would not be a good idea, unless you really need to have it!

I have found that a 2:1 never works out for me. There's just too much room for regret. A small piece of me regrets every watch I let go of, two is just too hard. If you are set on the Daytona, I would consider flipping just one and saving up a little longer for the Daytona. Good luck

daytonaTBR · 19 July 2016, 04:31 AM

I would sell both and get the daytona. It's durable and versatile enough to be your only watch.

Sandblaster · 19 July 2016, 04:40 AM

I wouldn't.

Once I had a Daytona I noticed it was "ok"... but nothing world breaking. I missed the date function.

Keep your 2 watches.

rmlovett1 · 19 July 2016, 04:46 AM

I'd keep your current two, save for the Daytona!:)

DevinH · 19 July 2016, 04:47 AM

Definitely keep the Sub. Sell one and save the rest.

Baco Noir · 19 July 2016, 05:00 AM

I'd keep what you have - more versatile. Save for the Daytona or sell the DJ and something else to raise the funds.

MVP · 19 July 2016, 05:01 AM

I can only speak for the 116500 as I do not have an earlier model, but my black dial 116500 definitely has a dressy feel to it IMO. The sub dials almost have a pearl look to them which I like. With that said, I agree with the others here, just save for it and you will be able to enjoy all 3. If going for the 116500 you likely have some time to save

DCheeta · 19 July 2016, 05:03 AM

Definitely keep the Sub. Sell the DJ and get the white Daytona.

77T · 19 July 2016, 05:17 AM

A Daytona is as "dressy" as a Sub IMHO.
I can't recommend selling to buy though.
Id get on the list for the new Daytona, it could be a long while waiting & saving but then you'll have all 3 and the new car to boot!

I'd miss the date function, but the Daytona is a beautiful watch and could easily do the work and play role

Flywheel · 19 July 2016, 05:58 AM

Don't do it. The sub and DJ make a diverse combo that you'll lose and miss.

005 · 19 July 2016, 06:34 AM

Thanks for your comments guys. Ye I think it's wise to keep my two. Not sure how I can upload a couple of pics onto here to show you guys?

Shan77 · 19 July 2016, 07:38 AM

I have a SubC date and would never let it go. Last year I traded 2 non Rolex and topped up with cash for a white face Daytona. Best decision ever.
Whatever you do..... keep the Sub.

Hodog16 · 19 July 2016, 08:34 AM

I'd only go 2 for 1 if I'm upgrading to PM. Keep the Sub and move the DJ to help finance the Daytona.

Heck no, dont do it!!!! Ive done a dew two for one deals in the past without any regrets but those two indeed are keepers! Really nice duet you got. I would just add a third and that 2013 Daytona would compliment it nicely

I find the Daytona much dressier than the sub because of the polished case and center links. That said, I would do that trade.

RichM · 19 July 2016, 12:10 PM

I did the 2 for 1 to get the BLRO. I'm not sure I'd do it in your case. I might be in the minority here but I'd let the Sub go and keep the DJ. Save up and go for the 116500.

Since it's going to be a while before you can get your hands on a 116500, start saving now. Keep both for awhile and then let the Sub when you know the Daytona is near.

The DJ and the Daytona make a great pair.

Good luck and welcome.

JP Chestnut · 19 July 2016, 01:24 PM

Trade down your DJ to one without "diamond spots" and set the cash aside. Save for the Daytona.

I don't agree. A DJ and Daytona are somewhat redundant, being shiny shiny sports watches. The Daytona and Sub, make a much more versatile paring.

RICHARD_LEWIS · 19 July 2016, 06:28 PM

2 for 1 and the 1 is another SS - hell no!! Agree with other posters, would only do that if changing to PM.

If it were me, I'd keep the Sub and DJ and save for the Daytona
