Daytona Ceramic chased me down

[scubadds]

Had a client ask me if I collected watches. (I was wearing an apple watch at that moment). Replied that I liked them, but not a real collector. He had just gotten a Ceramic Black Dial Daytona at a AD. He had not even tried it on yet.

So I traded my 2004 Black Daytona (wore the heck out of it for 15 hard years) and a bit of cash difference.

I placed it in my safe last week and haven't even had a chance to look at it yet. When I see the gray prices, and the AD number decline; it makes me tempted to let it rest and get another Rolex to wear on the heavy rotation....or put 2-3 watches on a lighter rotation than the previous Daytona saw (I have a very active/phyical lifestyle)
Searching for a Daytona was the last thing on my mind. So, I didn't get the chance to really enjoy the process of looking at Dial Colors etc.
I had no idea the Pro SS models had jumped up so much in price. Now I am rejuvenated in looking at Rolex's (hence joining the forum)

Trying to see what I would want next, (realizing I will have to hunt this time)
I am not paying gray prices.
In pictures, the white dial Daytona seems to pop, is that as true in person?
Thought about a Red Letter Sea Dweller (I dive a good bit, but it would be symbolic as I use a dive computer) or a Sky Dweller SS blue dial (it seems a bit large and maybe dressier than a day to day casual watch, living at the beach??)

I considered begging for a white dial daytona or maybe the Jubilee BLNR (batman)
(I understand these aren't easy to get)
I haven't considered a TT or PM, so I would most likely be looking in the stainless line. Any thoughts on what else to get?
