Get both. Seems drastic but there we are. I’ve waited a long time for the Daytona and although some say it’s ‘overrated’, I’m rather enjoying it. Good size, legible and comfortable. To me, different dials give the two watches quite different characters; maybe that’s just me.

I threw in a pic of what they cost 41 years ago from an old UK catalogue for fun. Alas they were a bit more than £396...

Waiting for the SD43. Again a bit more than the Double Red Sea Dweller back in the day - £406.

Great choice and have to have both as they compliment each other so well!

Cheapside Genie · 22 July 2018, 11:08 PM

Thanks. It’s just the way it worked out. They’re a sliver more bling than I’m used to with my old explorer and sea dweller, but not ridiculous.

travisb · 22 July 2018, 11:15 PM

Easy to justify both in a collection. Enjoy them!

lwrm23 · 22 July 2018, 11:21 PM

Great pics and great post!!

MIKE84 · 22 July 2018, 11:27 PM

Damn! Hmmm, keep the black and send over the white one to me? :)

Urosfan · 22 July 2018, 11:29 PM

Awesome pickup enjoy

Well done, they belong together!

Why aren't the boxes the same size?

They came from different places.

Nice! Double congrats!

watchmework · 23 July 2018, 12:51 AM

That’s a great problem to have, which color SS Daytona to keep! Congrats and enjoy it, it’s a beautiful watch

SG56 · 23 July 2018, 01:00 AM

Both is the way to go!!

gccmd · 23 July 2018, 01:02 AM

Congrats. Beautiful pair!!!

Hard_Six · 23 July 2018, 01:05 AM

Nice

My preference is white but I sure would love to own both! Congrats!!

Rashid.bk · 23 July 2018, 01:09 AM

That is awesome but honestly I see no point. Useless to have two, I mean why...
So would you please send one my way, I'm not picky on color, the one you want least and if you can't chose I'll take both as well.

Congratulations. Strangely enough this is the only Rolex I could honesty consider owning in both colors.

I’ll bear that in mind...thanks. They are quite different.

chloebear · 23 July 2018, 01:11 AM

Congrats! Great pair.

Thanks for including that old price sheet. Is that in GBP?

Yes GBP. My older brother, who gave me the catalogue bought his Sea Dweller at that price.

Slim Pickens · 23 July 2018, 01:46 AM

and who said black and white can't live together in glorious harmony...;)

congrats on owning both!

I would have been fine with just the white, but huge congrats! Enjoy them both in good health!

Boaters · 23 July 2018, 03:51 AM

Perfect congrats!

Beckster · 23 July 2018, 04:12 AM

Yes that’s what you do when you can’t decide. Get both. Nice. Huge congrats! Were they both from AD?

Alas no, just the one. In the long run I’ll probably only keep one, I think. But I haven’t decided yet.
