Hey TRF Fam! I have had my 116500LN White Dial for about a year now and you know, I think I’m getting tired of it. The hype of having it I think got to me but now I have realized that 1. Not a chronograph guy and 2. I think I prefer divers. I currently have a BLNR, Hulk, SD43, Rolex Skydweller Blue Dial, and a Rose Good Datejust.

My question is if I sell my Daytona, what should I get next? Cause at this point I think it’s time for Daytona to go and go to a better home.

I don't know about this one...

I feel that I would be VERY satisfied if I owned the other 5 watches that you own.

If you aren't into chronographs...

Maybe a blue dial sub? TT or PM?

Or try a different brand

Starwalker · 6 February 2018, 11:58 AM

What about an AP Diver?

WAK4 · 6 February 2018, 11:58 AM

...and how many inbox messages do you already have from potential buyers?

Sell the Daytona and try out a PM Sub? I've always been a fan of the blue dial on the WG version...just not the premium the gold commands. But IMO you've got the key Rolex divers lined up already.

A SS YMII would also be a nice add to your collection as well.

zjd168 · 6 February 2018, 12:00 PM

see what basel 2018 will offer, or go for PM, or PP

Easy E · 6 February 2018, 12:00 PM

Maybe a BLRO...???

schoolboy · 6 February 2018, 12:01 PM

Or a TT YMII ! ! !

If you like divers then you will LOVE the James Cameron!! It’s the best of All divers imho

If you like divers and want to add the king of the Rolex hill ...

BP Fifty Fathoms? If you ain’t feeling the Daytona, it’s time for it to go.

tig00s1783 · 6 February 2018, 12:08 PM

Yah my thought was wait for Basel 2018 and if I don’t like anything then sell Daytona and try to get an Aquanaut

I agree with you...I got tired of mine as well...so it went to a good home and a bundle of cash jumped into my wallet... bought two Panerai's at the time and now I'm waiting for my DSSD deep blue to turn up...any day now (according to my AD)... good luck with your search.

cheers

coralfarmer84 · 6 February 2018, 01:20 PM

I mean this politely but based on your collection I would guess it’s the thrill of finding/owning the hard to get pieces that drives you to want/like a watch before you purchase.... so with that in mind I’d wait till Basel then sell your Daytona and go after the next “it” watch.

Dom · 6 February 2018, 01:23 PM

The blue red.

You have a great collection. Since you know you have a very desirable watch, I’d say keep it if you can.

I know exactly what you’re saying. Sometimes it’s time to just move on. I use to love Chronos, now, not so much. I prefer simple three hand autos, but I’m not ready to put my Platona on the block, but I’ve thought about it more than once.

tig00s1783 · 6 February 2018, 01:47 PM

@Coralfarmer84 I think u may be right and I think now I’m learning from it. Yah it’s time for the Daytona to go. I would want a Cameron but I feel since i have a SD43 that’s those watches are too similar. That’s why eyeing a aquanaut but in perfect world I would really want a PP5711

I think you have too many late model Rolex watches. Zzzzz...

Don’t they all start to look and feel the same?

Mix it up. Get some different brands in the mix. AP, JLC, Seiko, ALS and on and on

MTdweller · 6 February 2018, 02:00 PM

Doesn’t sound like you have any trouble acquiring exactly what you want and that Rolex may not have any hard-to-find SS models left for you to pursue. A PP or AP sports model might be your answer.

i'll take it ! Dibs!

meganfox17 · 6 February 2018, 02:23 PM

For the Love Of God, please get an AP ROO Diver

HogwldFLTR · 6 February 2018, 02:26 PM

Something in gold!! How do you like the Sky D? That's not exactly a Dive watch.

solesman · 6 February 2018, 06:26 PM

If you aren't feeling it then flip. Maybe try a PP 5167A?

Rolex.c6 · 6 February 2018, 06:32 PM

You have about every watch I dream about, real nice collection! What I would add is probably BLRO. Can’t think of anythisg else... because you allready own all the good ones!

sdh1980 · 6 February 2018, 06:33 PM

You have an amazing collection..... Maybe a different brand? AP?

OahuHorologist · 6 February 2018, 06:35 PM

I would go for an BLRO if I were you ... or if I were me and had the cash!

WBA_Daytona · 6 February 2018, 07:09 PM

You can try a YG Blue Sub to have something bling in your collection and also a diver watch.

I second this suggestion

bp1000 · 6 February 2018, 07:31 PM

You could flip it for enough money to buy a deep sea and a black bay bronze.

You could probably even squeeze in a black back chrono, which on the brown or denim strap looks pretty nice.

You may actually quite like it

Screw down pushers
Arrow counter
Similar spacers

However it’s got significant thickness, snowflake hands and weirdly in all respects is part of the diver line... which is why I think you may like it.

Purists sometimes think of it as a Frankenstein watch. I can see why.

I personally like it. And find it a pretty useful hybrid tool watch.

polaris72 · 6 February 2018, 07:48 PM

I would diversify into other brands non-chronograph models such as AP, PP, VC, Blancpain - has nice divers watches, IWC Pilot or some Portugieser calendar.
