Daytona 116515 or Yachtmaster 116655

Which would you choose with $19000 to spend?
Also, which color dial for the rose gold Daytona...ivory, chocolate or black?

which dial for the daytona?

EDIT...i see now we get to choose the dial, too. ;-)

for me, it would be a tough call between the new YM, 116515LN pbk and 116515LN bpk....

it really depends on the collection and watch budget....my "favorite" is probably the YM, but, since i could only ever dream of one, i might be tempted by the daytona (slight edge to the pbk).

sorry, not a short & easy response, i know.

Definitely not the YM. It's a tad too silly for me.

I'd consider the Daytona, but since you are limited to straps, I'd have a hard time there as well.

For the money, I'd really look at other Brands with chronos...Zenith, Omega, AP (ok not the same price) etc.

My favorite of the lot is the RG black dial daytona...but I'm hellbent on getting the new ss daytona so I would opt YM as I love a rubber strap too. If not ss daytona 5 then I'll have what Neil's having

That's a tough one...voted for the YM, but you couldn't go wrong with either.

116515 chocolate or black dial for sure, but can't go wrong with any of them.

Old thread, but what the hell. I am in favor of the 116655 by a slight margin. I do also very much like the chocolate dialed Daytona with Arabic numbers though.
