I need an advice from fellow TRF's.
Which two Daytonas would you let go for an incoming grail piece?

116506 Platona standard dial
116509 WG meteorite dial
116508 YG green dial
116500LN SS white dial
116500LN SS black dial

Thanks in advance.

Roger Lococco · 23 May 2023, 08:51 AM

Probably the green dial one, as I don't like it that much.

VerticalClutch · 23 May 2023, 08:53 AM

Two steel ones.

MSL997 · 23 May 2023, 09:00 AM

Is this a serious post?

Lower end has to go, so the SS

The PMs are next to impossible.

Wow, with that lineup what could possibly be your grail that you don’t already have???? A Rainbow?

none!

probably the white 500 and green 508

Because you have the best three PM Daytonas the SS have to go. If you had boring dials PM Daytonas it would have been different, because your SS Panda is a grail too. I would get rid of SS black and add cash. I just think the old SS 116500 Panda will be the collectable of the SS Daytonas

skipstar · 23 May 2023, 11:29 AM

Both SS with that lineup

dkg1616 · 23 May 2023, 11:40 AM

116500 white dial for sure…which 116509 M dial? If recent then that absolutely stays.

hutch300 · 23 May 2023, 11:47 AM

Panda first and Platona second. If you have this many Daytona's you must have a love for them. The reason I say not both steel is you would want something to wear in a lower key setting.

envuks · 23 May 2023, 11:52 AM

Can you get away with just dropping the platona?

That might be my move here if I was so privileged to be in such a position.

If you have to unload SS, you can’t afford the incoming piece.

Based on the Daytonas you have, letting the lower end go is not going to covering the incoming grail. So don't let any of them go! You got a set of grail Daytona and letting any of them go is just missing a piece of the complete set.

You made a pretty big assumption. Based on the collection discussed his version of a grail might be (likely) a 6 figure watch. Assuming they can't afford it seems off base. We are not talking about putting a OP on a credit card here.

Joearch · 23 May 2023, 01:47 PM

YG Green dial and SS Black dial. Don’t like green dial watches and the white dial is a keeper.

wgdaytona · 23 May 2023, 02:00 PM

Meteorite and black dial. You have the 500 white, it's prettier. The meteorite is very cool for what it is, but, personally, I have never seen a meteorite dial I could read. That's a requirement for me.

Thiss was my thinking as well. The green YG isn’t for me and the black 116500 is illegible

HMHM · 23 May 2023, 02:31 PM

Wow! That’s impressive! Can we have a pic of all of the together please? Would be nice to have a side by side comparison of all the heavy hitters together!

Someone who has to sell off SS watches to buy a grail might want to rethink things.

He asked for my advice. I gave it. That’s how this forum thing works. He didn’t say, “please only those stroking my ego should respond.”
