Icon20 decision help ! Please give your opinion on my next watch and post a pic too!

So I am going to purchase a new rolex for christmas, but I want to know what I should add.

I currently own a sub with date s/s so I want to steer clear from the black on black look like the GMT 2 .

So daytona ? T/T sub ? Day just ? Yact master 2 ?

Help!
P.s. Thanks.

anything but another sub - even if it's a tt sub, it's still redundant.

I'll go for a T/T Daytona with an exotic dial.

Now is the time to get a SS Daytona IMO, prices & supply have never been better. ~Scott

Here's some wrist shots of my Bluesy TT Sub, Daytona SS White Dial, Explorer 2 white dial, and my Black Dial Sub LV for comparison.

Although the Daytona is one of the most sought after watches, the TT Bluesy a more of an eye catcher. You will love that blue dial. Good luck on your decision.

My fave is the SDDS but a S/S white dial Daytona will do in a pinch.

depends on your budget...but I would say that If you have a SS sub, then you've got a sport watch for most occasions, so I'd go for something a bit more dressy...

if you've got a YM2 on you list of potentials then I'd say go for a DD all the way...
