Black 116520 and SS Skydweller or WG BLRO
I've only had 1 watch in the past 8 years, the 116520. I 've been wearing it almost everyday. Now there's an itch I have to scratch. I can either trade in the Daytona+Cash for a pre owned WG BLRO or add a SkyD to my collection of 1.
My rationale for the BLRO is that I can only wear 1 watch at a time, so might as well go all in. Daytona and SkyD, I don't have to let go of my Daytona. I understand that there's a significant price difference between the 2 options, but I'm willing to save more (and wait more). I'm interested on your opinions. Cheers! |

I would add the sky dweller. I think letting go of the 116520 would be a big mistake. Plus imO the Daytona is on of the most comfortable watches Rolex makes. I really think you would miss it. If you still want a PM then I'd skip the sky-dweller save more and get a PM GMT or Sub.

Whoa...that's a tough one.
I think it's going to boil down which watches do it for you. Put aside values for a second and just think about what you want out of your watch(es) and what functions are important to you. If, and only if, you like the BLRO more than both of those watches, then go for it. For me, I would probably go BLRO due to the fact that it feels incredible on the wrist and if I was going down to one or two watches, it would be there. And I'm not crazy about the steel bezel Daytona's. And still not sold on the Sky...have yet to see one in person. |

Definitely keep the Daytona and add the SkyD. A great duo right there.
