Well, I guess I leveled up.

After owning the Daytona (white dial, ceramic) for a few years and now owning a 15500 I've decided to take advantage of the market and divest the Daytona at a very healthy profit.

Am I crazy?

I actually wore my (gen 1) BLNR (which I love deeply still) more than my Daytona as time went on...

What's next? Any suggestions? I'm all ears.

Not knowing the rest of your collection I'd say maybe a ROC

Probably a blue or Panda ROC or can you get your wrist around a ROO 44, lots of nice options there and more variety from a RO. Or do you have a partner with whom you like to talk pretentious gibberish, if so the Code is for you.

I’d probably go for an ROO to compliment your 500 depending on your wrist size.

You might as well. I was telling someone recently that watch collections should begin with Rolex, but hopefully not end with Rolex.

I wrestled with a similar question and ended up selling a Rolex Submariner Hulk at a profit and buying an AP Diver (at a substantial discount from MSRP). Its a science experiment.

Maybe a 44

I’d go with the RO perpetual with blue dial. Awesome piece.

44 offshore great watch at a slight discount these days

If you liked the Daytona as a daily wear, try first try on the ROC 38 first and then possibly the 41mm. ...the others might be too big of an adjustment on the wrist / visually from what your coming from.

Cant go wrong though with any AP choice though ....
