Flip GMTIIC for White Dial SS Daytona?

[sierra11b]

Been thinking about flipping my barely a month old 116710 for a White Daytona but all the recent threads about legibility vs. the newer Maxi dial sports watches have me a little apprehensive. The dial of the 116710 is one of the easier dials to read at first glance and it can be seen easily in low light.

I’ve also been nickel and diming myself on possible scenarios, future service costs and parts availability in the future. This is all mainly centered around the unlikely (but still very expensive) case that the ceramic insert is ever broken.

If it ever were to break or if RSC ever deemed it necessary to replace, I’d spend well more than the average cost than to service the Daytona alone.

Then I start to consider if it’s more worthwhile to pursue the Tudor cousins (792XX and 791XX) and keep the GMTIIC for the long haul? Date would be nice but considering my date-rich collection it’s not a deal breaker for me in purchasing a new watch. There's also Zenith... I'd like to stay away from Omega this time... owned the 3570.50 and wanted more WR and hacking:

Consider my current collection:

Seiko Sumo (blue - and was gift)
Seiko SXK007 (stays - gift)
Seiko MM300 (stays)
16750 Pepsi (Birthyear so MUST stay)
16710 (was a service gift so must stay)
116710
