Day Date......Daytona is too busy and too expensive.

I like the Daytona.. it’s busy but it’s a statement piece and gives it a casual vibe. The DD is nice too but might fit the office environment more.

Im now thinking of selling my most recent daytona to partially help me fund this day-date. After asking for opinions from friends and family if i should keep or replace my daytona let me just say its 50/50, and its very hard for me to decide.
Let me just clarify that i am a casual dresser, 28 years old and not in office environment where i need to be formally dressed. I work from home and ...
I just want a cool watch i can wear with t-shirt and jeans :)
what are your opinions? Should i go for it? Thanks!
Both the Daytona and Day Date are ultimate Rolex watches. Obviously with a 50/50 split it is clear there is no right or wrong answer. I'd say that the Daytona is a more casual watch than the DD. The DD is more practical unless you need to track elapsed times. I might add that there will be a hit in selling the TT Daytona; there would also be a hit in selling the DD unless they were both bought used and already depreciated. I suspect the best advice is what others have already said, keep the Daytona and save for the DD.

The Daytona is a good looking watch. I would hang onto it. Sounds like you are setting yourself up for another impulsive buy.

Keep the Daytona. It’s stunning. If you sell you’ll need to buy another.

Like most here, I don't think the DD is for you. Unlike most, I'm not a fan of the Daytona. I purchased one a while back and flipped it within a couple of months. I'd rather see you in one of these 2.

My opinion on what I like doesn't matter especially because I'm not a fan of either model but if your not feeling it with the Daytona I don't think it's ever going to be worth more than it is now and hopefully you'll make up for the hit but you'll feel better and you'll KNOW when you've got THE right piece.

I’d stick with the Daytona for casual wear.

You absolutely nailed it on the Daytona. Knocked the ball out of the park. Looks perfect with your ring. Not sure what a Hail Mary ring is but that is seriously cool.

The rose gold DD won't click as well.

Ahhh, to be young and have a TT Daytona.

Life is too short for regrets.

I vote for the Daytona all day everyday and twice on Sundays. It looks fantastic and makes me want one!
