Two years to 40th

Hi all,

So I have two years to my 40th and I’m trying to think what to queue up for. I’m sort of leaning towards a Pepsi or white steel Daytona (yes I have a 116500 but it’s a birth year watch for my daughter. 126500 would be for me :D)
Other options are perhaps a white gold oyster flex silver dial Daytona or a Day date rose gold chocolate stick dial.

Left field is a 1908.

What would you guys do?

Collection in signature.

5 years to wait, but I already know my choice is a Platinum Day Date.

Agree, it seems a BLRO would go well with your collection.

Pepsi or Daytona. Save the Day/Date for another milestone.

DD40 feels right based on SOTC

Chocolate day date for sure if the money isn’t a problem.

Two very different watches but for me the BLRO or Day Date as others have mentioned are perfect
