Hey Guys,

I'm trying to decide on which watch I should keep for my self. I have had the Cartier for sale on here, but every time I look at it I like it more and more. The Rolex on the other hand is also one of my favorites.

Which one would you keep?

Gaijin · 2 February 2013, 10:05 AM

Rolex. Hands down.

Dr. Robert · 14 May 2013, 03:35 PM

Daytona, hands down....the other watch is, IMHO, rather odd looking.

kilyung · 2 February 2013, 10:09 AM

I'll put money down on the results.

FeelingTheBlues · 2 February 2013, 10:29 AM

I think the Cartier is beautiful but I prefer the Daytona myself.

Even on the Cartier forum this is gonna be as unanimous as it is here.

~JJ · 2 February 2013, 10:40 AM

Haha, i've never picked the Daytona in a post like this, but it has my vote in this match... yours is simply a great example!

Armyguy03 · 2 February 2013, 11:09 AM

Daytona makes my

feet move

HL65 · 2 February 2013, 11:09 AM

Hmmmmm.........Let me think about it.

Rocco22 · 2 February 2013, 11:09 AM

Keep the daytona that watch is beautiful..

springer · 2 February 2013, 11:17 AM

The Cartier is a great looking watch, but I voted Daytona.

Annan · 2 February 2013, 11:21 AM

I know this is a Rolex forum and God knows, I only own and wear Rolex, but that Cartier really sings to me. Don't think I have ever seen this model before.

I have seen them in the wild and have handled them in the Cartier store. Large, nice and heavy. Easy to read. That particular Daytona was nearly impossible for me to read and the chrono is about useless. Plus it's on a strap. That Cartier is much more desirable to me. I wonder how many who voted have handled these watches?

I've only seen the Rolex and touched in, not the other one.

I'm curious, what does your comment here mean in relation to those voting in the poll? Are you implying that their opinions and votes are worth less consideration, or are you implying they aren't worthy to vote based on the in-person criteria? I'm sure you don't mean anything bad or mean by it, but what do you mean?

I can't speak for the OPer but I think an opinion based on foundations besides in-person tactile and visual inspection may still be of some worth to the OPer...

I voted keep the Rolex.

nick c · 2 February 2013, 11:32 AM

Daytona

Psmith · 2 February 2013, 01:29 PM

Daytona - and I'm not a Daytona fan!

rolex75216 · 2 February 2013, 01:31 PM

Easy choice. Rolex.

Andrés G · 2 February 2013, 01:44 PM

This one is really easy. Keep the Daytona.

mws222 · 2 February 2013, 01:47 PM

Tough decision, but I think I'd go with the Daytona. I like the concept of the calibre but never felt wowed by it...

Sam Philip · 2 February 2013, 02:18 PM

I would keep the Daytona

kchu221 · 2 February 2013, 02:24 PM

hands down rolex, your piece is beautiful!

Joey_V · 2 February 2013, 02:24 PM

OMG... not even a question.

joe100 · 2 February 2013, 05:01 PM

O you even have to ask?

DynamiteBids · 2 February 2013, 05:40 PM

You're on a Rolex site, what did you expect? Even the Cartier forum would say the Daytona looks better.

HRV · 2 February 2013, 06:25 PM

Daytona, I hope we see this and the RG SKD on bracelets one day

bayerische · 2 February 2013, 08:02 PM

Keep the Daytona.

capote · 2 February 2013, 08:14 PM

I'm trying not to be a fanboy, but I choose the Daytona
