Daytona C already old

I recieved my Daytona C and I can say after all the hype, I am now thinking about flipping it for something different. I found I am wearing my WG panda more and the fill of the WG and Platoona is better on my arm. Anybody else like me ???

I'd love to have one! I know someone who sold there's for the price they paid for it after wearing it for a few weeks.

Go for it as you have a couple of daytonas already. Maybe something different

WG Panda dial is prettier, plus PM will always be more special than steel IMHO. Flip it as you can easily profit from it towards something else

Thought about finding a Panda dial for it, as I like the panda and I like the black bezel

Local AD called me on Thursday to offer me a black dial Daytona C and I nicely declined. I might go for a white dial one next time around, I don't know. Like with all neuroses, the rational mind sometimes plain reaches a saturation point.

Nope. Hasn't left wrist since its arrival.

I've wanted an SS Daytona C even before it was a thing. :)

I would venture a guess you will come out ahead in the sale. If you're not feeling it, let it go.

The panada dial is the one I like as well; bought the dial and hands before buying the 116520

No impulse buy. Have several Daytonas including a black dial C and wanted a white, now that I have it just not liking it. The panda hogs all the wrist time.

+1 on this. I don't have two PM Daytonas in the safe though. You should flip.

Boy, for me, the ceramic Daytona is the only Daytona I've been interested in since the 62XX series, but to each his own.

Yes same watch with a ceramic bezel, same bezel as on my Platona and Rose gold,
Family shot of some of my Daytona Family. Two members are locked up and did not make it home for the family picture, Platona and Ceramic itch Black face declined to leave the comfort of the safety deposit box.

Beautiful Daytona collection!
