Sad Day - Which one to keep? Daytona or Bluesy

[Brian Page]

Higher resale on the Daytona, but also harder to get back. Keep the one that makes you the most happy

+1. Completely agree with this..

It’s about money. Which one gets you the most?
Simple.

I personally would sell both and get a nice Speedmaster and a steel five digit Sub or Sea Dweller and you may still have some cash left over for a nice dress watch or Pilot watch or whatever else would rock your boat.

Loves both watches. Doesn’t want to get rid of either. You advise to get rid of both. I hope you’re not a lawyer my friend! Great advice!

Personally, I love both.

When the time came for me to buy one I went with the Daytona - I think it is likely to appreciate the most over time. Mine also has the diamond markers (116503). I really wanted the Bluesy, but the chance to own a brand new Daytona overshadowed the desire to have the bluesy. I think it's much rarer and likely to be harder to acquire later on.

An individual I worked with over this past weekend was wearing his bluesy and I could hardly keep my eyes off of it.

I still want a bluesy, but since I have my 16610 Sub, I am thinking I will go with a Pepsi GMT next.

Just my .02.

I would keep the Bluesy. It will continue to go up in value over the years, more than the Daytona will.

[aayates]

Bluesy all the way. I wish I hadn't sold mine.

[CarlOver]

Sell the Daytona. Buy something more affordable for daily wear if the Bluesy doesn’t work for you.

OP - if you genuinely like both equally and you're not obsessed with "future value", or how "hard to get" they are, then you should just sell whichever will liberate the amount of money you need. And if that's not important/relevant, then you honestly may as well flip a coin. Good luck!

I agree. Actually, I’ll take it a step further. Sell both and get one or two cheaper watches (sub $2,000).

I would keep the Submariner.

I'm not a huge fan of the modern Daytona. I think they are a little small in comparison to chronographs from other brands. I also find them hard to read as other members previously said before. Legibility is a problem, especially on the current version, especially with reading the sub dials.

I would pick the Bluesy over the Daytona without hesitation. The only drawback I can think of is that its a pretty flashy watch. It's not an ideal everyday watch. But I love the date feature and the blue dial.

Need to see photos of both on your wrist.

I think you may have answered your question. Keep the bluesy.

Keep the Daytona.

[Big Tex Rolex]

I have a Daytona 116500LN (Black Dial), and a

Submariner 126613LB (Bluesy) …

not close for me … the Blue Submariner is my favorite watch in my collection.

If I was forced to keep one over the other, I would keep my Blue Submariner.

The Daytona gives me the pleasure of owning a watch that’s hard to get.

The Blue Submariner is just so beautiful … I love wearing it / looking at it.

[t65tampa]

Sell them both and get a stainless steel Submariner, Daytona, or GMT Master.

Well, do you need Daytona money or Bluesy money? Bluesy is less expensive. May be very hard for you to get another Daytona from an AD, and Bluesy is an easier watch to obtain usually. I like the Daytona better.

Sell/Trade both and pickup a SS Submariner in either Date or ND configuration. You will have a great one and only and more money to use.

[rambo99]

i would keep the daytona.

Yep. And I gather it does, hence the reason for the decision.

Will consider other options I suppose but mainly my purpose of this thread is to keep the one with the best investment prospects as I love both watches.

Trade both for a BLRO and cash.
