Pick and AD that you have bought watches from already, then buy the SD4K and hopefully you'll be on the list of clients that they will call when they get the new Daytona in.

Buy the time they call you, you will have already enjoyed your watch for a couple of years.

additionally... It depends on how comfortable you feel with them on the long run.... The SD is a bit heavier (which you say you prefer).... I personally like the fit and feel of the Daytona...

SD4K all the way. Very well proportioned and stunning looking.

Being fortunate enough to own a SS Daytona, SD4K and the AP ROC, I can honestly say the sea dweller gets the most wrist time. The smaller lugs, non cyclops and slightly weightier feel make it a really comfortable and pleasing watch for me. An ultimate watch to wear daily. You wont be disappointed.

Do you feel like a race car driver or more like a saturation diver?

Great choices by the way... I think those are my 2 favorite modern references. As some have suggested, I'd go with the Sea Dweller for now, then save up for the Daytona. They might not be easy to get a hold of for awhile unless you have that taken care of already.

Get seadweller now, and then decide later whether to flip it for the daytona.

I'm in a somewhat similar boat. I am going to wait until July to make my decision. I'm hoping the AD will call me in May.

seadweller. I prefer a sweeping seconds hand, and would have no real use for a chronograph

Personally, I'd go with a SD4K. For me, the Ceramic Daytona just seems like it's "trying too hard" (disclaimer: my opinion may change once i see it in person)
