Congrats. As long as you are happy with your watch, it was a good choice.

Bigmozza · 16 February 2021, 06:57 AM

Both excellent watches but you made a great decision, always buy what makes you happiest not what anyone else thinks so easy to get caught up in hype, congratulations enjoy amazing watch

173rdabn · 16 February 2021, 07:00 AM

If you're happy with it, that's all that matters. Enjoy the new purchase.

Gwai · 16 February 2021, 07:02 AM

I think you did!

I've done something similar. I bought a JLC Reserve de Marche, but a few days later, I fell in love with the MUT Perpetual Calendar. I ended up buying the Perpetual Calendar from the boutique and returning the Reserve de Marche at my AD. I was lucky they took it back for full store credit after wearing it for a day or two. I guess the lesson is just to go for the one you actually want, as long as you can afford it.

Anyway, you made a great choice. If you just kept the 116500, you'd always just have that itch for the 116519. I have the latter, and it's my favorite of all of Rolex's current offerings. Congrats!

duncand111 · 16 February 2021, 08:01 AM

You did great OP congratulations.

RolexSimon · 16 February 2021, 08:02 AM

Agree - your wrist, your choice.

BOXMAN76 · 16 February 2021, 08:19 AM

Nah man. You did good.
No point in keeping something if your heart isn’t into it.

While looking at the SS Daytona, I spotted a 116519LN WG OF Daytona and had to try it on. It was love at first sight. Because of the price difference, though, I ended up buying the SS Daytona. However, even with the SS Daytona on my wrist, I couldn’t stop thinking about that beautiful WG Daytona.

Unable to resist any longer, yesterday I found another pre-owned WG OF in better condition at another dealer. There, I traded-in the SS Daytona. (I made a few $100s just 3 days after buying it.

) Also, I traded-in one more watch, getting the same price that I paid when I bought it 10 years ago. And I got some cash back in the end. I am so pleased to have this addition to my collection. I have no buyer’s remorse with the transaction. But then, I did let go of an SS Daytona. Hummm.

This! The watch that sings to me.

It was a beauty, but it didn't sing to me.

I have both, and the 116519 is my preferred Daytona by far! You made the right decision if it’s the watch that tickles your fancy that much more! And it certainly sounds like that’s the case. So enjoy your new beauty and don’t let fomo takeover!

The hype is the Ss Daytona... but the real catch of the day is wg oysterflex ... you did the right thing !

Demonoid · 16 February 2021, 09:04 AM

Buy what you like. If you acquire watches because of their hype, you will end up selling them... In three days. :) That WG is fantastic in my opinion and if it sang to you, then you did the right thing.

It's just money. You can replace the Daytona 116500 if you really want to. It's not like you blew off a friend or put a dog to sleep. You get what you like and pay what it costs and if you can't undo it you don't look back on it.

Good decision. Love the WG OF. Wear it in good health.

tahitianmoon · 16 February 2021, 11:33 AM

Sounds like you're happy with everything so I'd say yes- you did the right thing

scombs263 · 16 February 2021, 02:58 PM

Whatever makes you happy is what you should get. Sounds like you made the right decision for you.

klenboy · 16 February 2021, 03:06 PM

I myself would definitely do that transaction in a heartbeat! The white SS Daytona doesn't sing to me either.

Rodrigo082 · 16 February 2021, 03:09 PM

42itus · 16 February 2021, 03:53 PM

The WG OF is such a beautiful watch. No comparison in my opinion.

Yes, definitely the right decision. The WG simply looks better and is more subdued

I would pick the WG OF any day over the SS white dial!

samson66 · 16 February 2021, 11:41 PM

For the watch itself I prefer the WG version. But it all comes down to if you prefer a bracelet or OF. That's a tough one. Guess you could add a WB bracelet down the road but that would be big bucks.
