'nuff Rolex, try something different.
Or if you are still all about divers: or maybe a chronograph you can read: or a Divers chrono.....( also legible) |

I say tuck it away in the locker for a while before you make up your mind.
As a vintage collector who rarely finds joy in wearing a Modern watch, the white Daytona C was the first ever modern watch that I thoroughly enjoyed wearing, in a long long time. Just like you, after about a year of frequent rotation(a year of enjoying it a lot though), I got bored of it. I put it away in the safe, and fast forward about a month and a half or so, I bumped into a close friend of mine who was sporting his, and it looked phenomenal. I went to the locker the following day to bring it out and was in love all over again. Re buying it at retail will be difficult, so take your time with the decision! Good luck. |

Take the Daytona and DJ and swap them for a DD40. Will bring a breath of fresh air to all those steel oysters.

Lots of great options on this thread.
In Rolex: BLRO or DD40 Non-Rolex: AP Diver, AP 15400, PP 5167A I'm too kinda lusting after an Aquanaut, but it seems this is the worst possible time to get into Patek. If you can, put the DaytonaC in the safe and wait until either after Basel releases something you want or the Patek market cools off a little. |

Looks like you need to try DSSD JC with or without flipping Daytona. You would stop thinking about a diver watch beyond it .

I would branch out and look into some other brands. Something with on a leather strap maybe. JLC, VC, ALS or one of the independents.

Nice vintage car. MG, Alfa, Lancia. Yes, you鼠l either have to put in a few extra bucks for the latter two, or you can buy ones that are a bit rough around the edges. At least that won奏 get you bored
