Yes you are correct

I'm torn, the Daytona is just a classic and I feel you can't go wrong but that DSSD Cameron edition is just amazing!
Both are beauties in this situation i would go ceramic daytona then deepblue then reg daytona.

They are my two favourite Rolex watches so hard to choose. Ok.... I choose both. (just need to get my hands on a Daytona C now)

To me, it is far from "gimmicky". On earth, that exploration mission was probably the most dangerous you could ever do, piloted by a man who is a film director, not a engineer or career marine pilot (don't know the word for it).

If I had to pick, it would be the DSSD.
Boy do I agree with you on your assessment!

If it's DBlue and Daytona 520, neither. But if this the 500, I'd have that

i went through the same indecision and finally opted for the Daytona, non C. No regrets at all, the other seem nice but too bulky for my taste.

Go with whichever watch you think will fit you better for your taste. I used to hear friends considerations and a couple of times ended up buying watches that latter didnt liked that much and had to flip them taking a hit in the price.

Never been a real fan of the Daytona except the older versions that look better IMO. The Deepsea is way over the top and not needed, the D-Blue is nicer looking aswell. On saying all that, I would love either with possibly the Deepsea edging it.

Daytona 116500 gets the edge but they make a perfect pairing. My two favorites.

I'm going Deep Blue! The Daytona doesn't do anything for me.
