New addition - Daytona 116520 or YM 126655?

[daysky1]

the 116520 are not getting made anymore

[Osmin]

Correct. Bought on of the last 116520 from 2016

I'd go with the Daytona for sure.

[Osmin]

Having had the Yacht-Master now for 3 months:
It’s a stunning watch. Don’t wear it often, usually rocking the Sub 124060 as daily.

The Daytona is not on my wrist that much. Usually go for the 126655 instead. After wearing a PM watch it feels kind of light and not that valuable anymore…
Not sure what do do. Buy a PM Daytona instead?

It's totally a matter of choice, but you can't go wrong with either of them, but I will go with the Daytona 116520 while I buy the YM later.

You mean alongside the YM?
Send some pics of the YM if you can. This thread is great advice for YM btw

[Osmin]

State of the collection. One slot is still free ;)

It is super hard to get good pics of the Yacht-Master. Often the case looks silver in pictures.

[Lz4000]

Looks great

[Osmin]

DD40 would also be a nice addition. But I don’t think I will be happy without an extension system. I used it daily on all my watches :/

[Roddypeepa]

Welcome to the forum. I own neither but covet the Daytona. One day…
I’d go for the Daytona because it is far more iconic, far more recognisable and if it’s important to you, a much surer bet long into the future (as long as condition is ok).

I get the appeal but it’d be an easy one for me to decide.

Thanks! 2 years, 2 watches and 450 posts later ;)

Old thread. Deleted.

[Osmin]

Yes sorry, it’s an old thread.
But I always appreciate it, if I read in old postings how the story continued.
Wanted to give some back to the community. And hear what you think ;)

YM is OK. But, I would not place it in league with Daytona. PM or not. But that's just my .02 worth.

Agree

How often do you wear the YM? Do you get more comments on it being a PM vs the Daytona? Did it solve your itch owning a PM Rolex?
I’m always torn because you spend so much more on a watch and wear it so much less vs SS

[Osmin]

I don’t wear it that often. 1 out of 5 days maybe?
I never understood people who buy PM watches. Especially Rolex. Seemed like a stupid idea and a waste of money.
Now I can fully understand it and would love to have another one. The SS watches seem kind of boring in comparison.
People usually don’t comment on my watches. I have a few watch enthusiasts friends, who are blown away by the Yacht-Master. You have to see it in real life to fully appreciate it. The Roségold with black matte contrast is stunning.
Don’t regret pulling the trigger

[PenDelicate]

Go for the 116520.

They're gorgeous and are still affordable.

[kwingy]

Both very different watches but I had the 116520 a few times and do feel once the bezel scratches up, it can look very messy. Given the choice I would go for the YM just because the RG and the black bezel just look very stealthy togther.

[Afratello03]

It actually depends on what you really want, but I will go with the Daytona 116520 IMO.
