I never thought it would happen.......

But I have decided that after all these year of owning Subs and Sea Dwellers I need a change.
I have my eye on a White dial SS Zenith Daytona.
So at least one watch has to go.
But which ones???
The 1665? The Matt 666? The 16600?
????????

Clay, it's god to see you branching out, but to sell one of those watches is nothing short of blasphemy!!!!

No doubt you'll move the one you're less attached to (why not!), and best of luck on your hunt for the Zenith Daytona!

You know the answer Clay - sell ME the 16660 matte! :-)

Otherwise, sell the SD 16600. Sure, it will get the least amount of money of the three but as said above, it is easier to replace.

Just don't get rid of the 1665. You would have a really hard time replacing that one in that kind of shape. Good luck.

Wow! Sweet, what made you come to this decision? How did you consider it?
Is there a particular Daytona that made you consider your next acqusition?

Good choice w/ the 16520 Clay - get rid of the 16600, you can always get that again whenever.

Hey Clay, I guess I meant...seems like such a hassle to have to decide that you may want to consider keeping them all.

However, considering the pieces, I'd agree with the rest: 16600 would be my choice.

Sorry about my poor attempt at humor

Whichever you decide to sell - you'll regret it!
