SS Daytona White dial or Milgauss GV?

[Z-Sub]

I voted for Daytona but I would get both or get the other in the future as well since GV is really special

[vzmax]

I recently purchased the GV and have seen the Daytona in person. I have to say that the GV is a really cool looking watch but in no way is it as beautiful as the Daytona. I think the GV compares to the Daytona in prestige at the moment since it is so hard to find.

As far as the GV being a collectible, I think it may unfortunately have a similar fate as the LV. Where everyone wanted one because they were so rare but years later Rolex is still producing them and they are now sitting in every other AD.

Either way I plan on keeping my GV and I'll purchase the Daytona in a heartbeat if I ever get the call.

BTW, I voted Daytona

Tough call. If I had to pick between the two I'd go with the Daytona. It's a classic piece that's withstood the test of time.

SS Daytona, Black if you can. GV Milie demand/price already softening.

SS Daytona is the only current Rolex grail watch.

I have a Black Milgauss and I would love to have a White Daytona as my next watch.

79% Daytona

Go for that Milgauss...the distinctive dial and the larger viewing area make it one killer piece.........

How longs the Milgauss been out, less than a year. Of course there is many more Daytona's out there.

Yes...get one now and get another one in the future

Thank you for the side by side pic

I'm thinking pretty hard which one to get now (I can smell my brain burning)

As someone who took a bath on a Milgauss I bought at MSRP, let me just say that I wouldn't buy the GV on the premise of it gaining value. They're barely getting a premium anymore and it seems production will be up in the future. Get the one you really want to wear.

NO BRANIER... DAYTONA!!!!!

More functionality, useful functionality (unless you happen to be a scientist), will always be rare and in demand. And the Daytona is a chronograph --- more than "just a watch"

Put it another way, I'm sure you could find plenty of folks to trade a migauss for a daytona, the reverse would be a hard sell.

I believe this is correct, I'm sure I'll be corrected by some anal Wis in 4.3 seconds if I am wrong

That if your the luckiest man alive!!! GV MILLY!!

[Spencer]

I voted for the one that I have

[Rolexism]

Thanks alot from u guys opinion and participation.

I'm very appreciate.

Daytona lead GV 82 to 22

Tough choice....I guess I'll have to go see both watches in person at AD.

[tphan]

IMHO there isn't another Rolex like the stainless steel Daytona.

[Nigel Tufnel]

This one is very easy. You get a chronograph that actually does something, or a cute second hand.

[Gaijin]

Easy. Daytona.

[topcat30093]

No question IMO, it has to be the S/S Daytona.

[SLS]

Daytona would be my choice as well.

Thank you for the poll everyone.Both watches are great.

I can see that many ppl go for Daytona

GV is cool too

Anyway thanks for everyone opinion.

Appreciated

[Singslinger]

Assuming both are the same price, I think the Daytona is a better buy - it's an iconic watch with a more complicated movement.

You could carry a little plastic bag to put your watch into so that it does not get scratched in the trays. :thumbusp: But I agree those trays and the way they are thrown around by the security officers can be a bit frightening and be a cause of scratches.
