Hi guys,

i'm mostly a VC watch lover but decided it's time for a rolex, budget is <20k want something that will not loose value. At this moment i think i'm going with the daytona 116509. i would want it for occasional days maybe 1-2 times a week. to wear with jeans and a blazer. any other suggestions would be appreciated!

There are many nice Rolex models to choose from but if you stick with purchasing a "tool " watch you can't go wrong!!!

If you don't want it to lose value, I suggest you go the vintage route.

<20K gets you a lot of very nice vintages: Red Sub 1680, Great White 1665, 1655 Explorer, 16550 Cream Explorer. All these references would keep their value.

Good luck!
