Icon20 Dilemma - Daytona - SS vs YG OF - room for both

Dilemma

So I got the call today for a YG Daytona Oyster Flex - champagne dial with black sub dials. I absolutely love this piece and combination. I'm picking it up later today. Crazy that I only requested it two weeks ago and bam it's here. My AD usually does this to me lol - plays hard to get then shows me some love.

I typically don't do redundancy in my watch box but I'm considering an exception here as I also have a Black 116500 SS Daytona. It's also one of those classic staple pieces that I really enjoy in the collection.

Is there room in a collection for two Daytona's?

IMO, It is one of the few watches where having multiples within the same line makes sense.

Not only is there room, but multiple Daytonas should be mandatory!

Congrats!

Room for both esp with different metal color.
Price aside, I really prefer the white SS and RG black dial OF as a one-two Daytona combo instead of both white and black in SS.

I’m a firm believer in the fact that you can never have too many Daytonas.

Picked it up last night and it's absolutely spectacular - I'll post some pics and some side by side pics later when I'm home. Nothing like a PM Rolex.

5+ years ago this never use to be called a flex. Just a guy that likes chronograph’s / Daytonas.

Certainly room for those two. Lots of contrast between the two so for me it works.
