To each their own! I like both, but its a lot of $ if you really don't want them.

Would buying either/both moved you down the list for white or blue dialed variants? If not, I would have bought and worn both and then decided when the next ones arrived if it was worth it to switch or not. If it was, you wouldn’t have lost a penny on either. You have major will power!

I've been on the list for a Daytona C Black for over a year, it hurts a little to see this thread ;)

Very fair!!! I tried on the white dial Daytona but wasn’t convinced. I don’t know if I can pass up the black. I am supposedly on a list. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

While the black Daytona is great, the white is much nicer (also more legible). The blue Sky-Dweller is spectacular and worth waiting for (I’m still waiting for mine). So short of wanting to just be a flipper I think you made the right decision.

I wouldn’t have passed on the Black Daytona C...
I’m personally indifferent of the white dial . |

Gotcha, well then I think waiting for Blue Skydweller is a wise choice but for DaytonaC, Black is the way to go! Much better in person, I have owned both and sold the White dial after a few months.

Passing on watches you don't want is always the right decision.

I feel confident that I'll get the next white Daytona and blue sky hopefully both before the end of the year.

OP, of course you did the right thing. Sounds like your dealer will still supply what you want when they can, it wasn’t a take it or leave it proposition.
You folks who can drop $25K on two watches you don’t really want but everyone else does are out of my league. I’m not a flipper and pretty sure neither is OP. |

Not a flipper but knowing how hard both are to come by I knew it was going to be a tough decision. The hottest watch bar a 5711. Someone else is going to be very happy and I'll be very happy with the white one when it comes in.

I would have bought the Daytona yesterday. Black or white, it’s a stunner. The sky d is that a TT or SS? I can’t tell.
But if they are not what YOU want, then YOU made the right decision. That’s all that matters, not a bunch of randoms on the internet. |

NO WAY I would pass on any Stainless DaytonaC at MSRP.I’d buy it and flip it instantly like Hundreds of others are doing and make 5K....This is capitalism my Friend.

I personally prefer the black dial on the Daytona over the white. Well done on passing if it's not for you.

I would be so tempted to pull the trigger.
I like the white Daytona as well, but if I was offered a black dial. I would pull the trigger and keep my name on the white dial. You can always enjoy the piece for a bit and then sell later (or pass it onto another member at msrp). |

You have the patience of a monument my friend. Best of luck!
I'm in a similar situation on the DaytonaC (black/white). I will be visiting the AD tomorrow to view the black in person. |
