Please vote, Day Date has 20% discount, I’m also looking as a future value on the long term.

Vote what?

How long is the "future" for you"? How much "value" do you expect to get in the "future"?

Buy a watch because you want to own and wear it.

If you can aim for 25% discount, then it’s basically the same cost as a Daytona OF and in that case, I would go for the DD.

I see DD trading at around high 20s so there would be “minimal” loss. Of course, this is under the assumption that you’re not going to get any discount on the OF

I'm going with the DD40 in this scenario, but if it was the 509, it might be different...

Two very different watches. Look at your current collection and see where the gap is. Do you have a dress watch? Yes +1 for Daytona. Do you have a chrono? +1 for DD.

Both should hold relatively similar value short term.

What to buy? I don't know, buy what you like. They're not exactly similar watches.

Future value? Are you talking about value retention / appreciation? If this is your objective buy 3 steel watches; or even better - put your money in the market.

I feel like I’m in the way out, fringe minority on this, but I can’t sign off on a $30k watch on a rubber strap.

This. Must be the highest gross margin piece Rolex makes.

No joke. No way in hell I would buy one when I can get full PM for the same price.

DD40 and it's not even a discussion.

If you're asking this you're probably buying to resell for profit.

Gold Daytona requires a gold bracelet. It's the heft it brings to a rather light watch.
