No. Maybe sell Batman and add cash but not Pepsi. The Daytona and Pepsi make a great pair.

No - but that's just me. I'm personally not a huge fan of oyster flex.

I would put the black ceramic Daytona on oysterflex, which looks great, and trade the Pepsi (which I don't fancy that much) for something other than a GMT.

I prefer the WG Daytona over either GMT but that would leave you with 2 Daytonas.

Maybe sell 1 GMT and the black dial Daytona to get the WG Daytona?

If you like WG and dislike the current owned ones.
When spending this much on identical watches you always run the risk of the guy with the platinum version call the WG cute and value orientated, whilst laughing that there is no bracelet which is a selling point of precious metal watches for most. Do you want that? ;) because at this level the pi55ing contest is strong.

Swap the Daytona black dial to white dial — make it a Panda

Do nothing else.

If that is what you really want then Go for it. No need to battle the hype.

I finally came to terms with my self and made a rule: if it doesn’t get worn or if I don’t feel like I can’t wait to put it on then it is gone.

I just sold my YM 116622 and Daytona 116523 and bought what I really wanted to wear...
326139 WG Sky D on strap.

Do it!

BTW Rubber b makes a killer swim skin strap for oyster flex models...

I love Daytonas. I think I will keep Batman and sell Pepsi and a rose gold IWC to fund the PM Daytona. I find the ceramic bezel an essential design element to Daytonas. PM Daytonas o a bracelet look dated to me.

That’s a good move. I made a similar move as stated above, but kept my GMT LN. so now I have a Sky D, GMT LN and sub 1680.

Then I have a plethora of panerai and Breitlings. Let’s be honest, do you take your Rolex sub or your Breitling Superocean to the beach?

I am happy with my PM Sky on leather. Toned down, no one knows is gold, and looks the part.

I’d move the pepsi and the batman, Never owned a Pepsi but had a Batman and never could pick it up n put it on as long as there was a daytona next to it in the box.

I think GMTs are nicer looking than Daytonas, so I wouldn't do it.

Yes but in the rest of the camp that black daytona goes into the mix and keep one GMT.

Daytona wears weird and small on a strap.

If you want a heavy hitter piece, think about White Gold Pepsi blue dial or full gold root beer
