I think I’m getting tired of my White Ceramic Daytona

Hey TRF Fam! I have had my 116500LN White Dial for about a year now and you know, I think I’m getting tired of it. The hype of having it I think got to me but now I have realized that 1. Not a chronograph guy and 2. I think I prefer divers. I currently have a BLNR, Hulk, SD43, Rolex Skydweller Blue Dial, and a Rose Good Datejust.

My question is if I sell my Daytona, what should I get next? Cause at this point I think it’s time for Daytona to go and go to a better home.

I don't know about this one...

I feel that I would be VERY satisfied if I owned the other 5 watches that you own.

If you aren't into chronographs...

Maybe a blue dial sub? TT or PM?

Or try a different brand

...and how many inbox messages do you already have from potential buyers?

Sell the Daytona and try out a PM Sub? I've always been a fan of the blue dial on the WG version...just not the premium the gold commands. But IMO you've got the key Rolex divers lined up already.

A SS YMII would also be a nice add to your collection as well.

BP Fifty Fathoms? If you ain’t feeling the Daytona, it’s time for it to go.

I agree with you...I got tired of mine as well...so it went to a good home and a bundle of cash jumped into my wallet... bought two Panerai's at the time and now I'm waiting for my DSSD deep blue to turn up...any day now (according to my AD)... good luck with your search.

cheers

I mean this politely but based on your collection I would guess it’s the thrill of finding/owning the hard to get pieces that drives you to want/like a watch before you purchase.... so with that in mind I’d wait till Basel then sell your Daytona and go after the next “it” watch.

You have a great collection. Since you know you have a very desirable watch, I’d say keep it if you can.

I know exactly what you’re saying. Sometimes it’s time to just move on. I use to love Chronos, now, not so much. I prefer simple three hand autos, but I’m not ready to put my Platona on the block, but I’ve thought about it more than once.

@Coralfarmer84 I think u may be right and I think now I’m learning from it. Yah it’s time for the Daytona to go. I would want a Cameron but I feel since i have a SD43 that’s those watches are too similar. That’s why eyeing a aquanaut but in perfect world I would really want a PP5711

I think you may be jumping out of the frying pan and into an even hotter fire. I'd really try and buy something that is not selling at a premium, just so you know you are buying the watch not the hype. AP, VC , BP or a PM for example.

I think you have too many late model Rolex watches. Zzzzz...

Don’t they all start to look and feel the same?

Mix it up. Get some different brands in the mix. AP, JLC, Seiko, ALS and on and on

Doesn’t sound like you have any trouble acquiring exactly what you want and that Rolex may not have any hard-to-find SS models left for you to pursue. A PP or AP sports model might be your answer.

Something in gold!! How do you like the Sky D? That's not exactly a Dive watch.
