I'm not a huge Daytona fan, but I know the LVC is way too green for me. So for that reason, I'd make the change..

Locust · 11 April 2018, 05:53 AM

I have both. Daytona by a mile.

Mystro · 11 April 2018, 06:07 AM

Had a Daytona, sold it. No way would I flip my LVc for another. A dive watch with date window and timing bezel is a lot more useful than a chronograph from what I have found. I own several chronographs and have found they are a pain to activate quickly. Unscrew the pushers, rescrew pushers, etc... A timing bezel is faster and easier to read for normal daily activities. The size of the LVc wears alot bigger and the glidelock clasp is miles better than the easy link. I also own the easy link. A Daytona is a great second watch but not a daily for me.

Soarer · 11 April 2018, 06:09 AM

IMO, for a daily, LVc is more suitable with date. Some of the folks I know let go their Daytona for that very reason when it came to keeping only one.

Keep the Sub will be my recommendation.

unsure how a GREEN dial watch is more suitable as a daily (just bc it has a date function) unless that person is the Notre Dame head coach. Daytona by a MILE!!!!!!!

Dude, sure it can. And no head coach aint got anything to do with it. I wear my LVc as daily, and many I know do too.

The sunburst green dial is a asset not a liability for a everyday watch.

Bok88 · 11 April 2018, 06:13 AM

Each has its own character but will definitely pick DaytonaC over LvC if you cannot have both. Goodluck.

Chadridv · 11 April 2018, 06:14 AM

if there's a chance for you to own them both simultaneously, I would highly recommend it. Getting rid of (or passing) on either watch could leave you quite regretful. I fully understand you can't own both, but you won't lose anything to sell either at a later date, once you make your final decision.

Otherwise, it's a very tough call. Personally, if I could only have one it'd probably be the LVC.

Jimbogigolo · 11 April 2018, 06:26 AM

Daytona. Which dial color?

Daytona easy. Maybe even work the d500 into a 116520 and hulk/Kermit. Bam

jerrydlamme · 11 April 2018, 07:18 AM

I would say daytona c.

Joemck · 11 April 2018, 07:23 AM

I’m a sub guy and like to have the date function. If your father’s watch sings to you then Daytona is probably the right choice. I’d say wear before buying but that’s probably not possible.... Good luck!

TheRolexKingofLV · 11 April 2018, 07:27 AM

Daytona...slam dunk!

BlackBay1 · 11 April 2018, 07:28 AM

I did a poll between the Daytona 116520 and the LVC a few years back and the Daytona won by a landslide. Like you I hadn’t seen the Daytona in person, but as soon as I did I realised that there was no need to have done a poll as it was such an easy decision. Still love the LVC but just think the Daytona is special.

jb335 · 11 April 2018, 07:51 AM

If you can get a Daytona C for retail, you get the Daytona C.

I prefer the LVc, but try and see both and don't get swayed by the monetary hype.

justdate · 11 April 2018, 08:47 AM

A Daytona would drive me crazy as a daily due to no date. Worth considering if you are anything like me.

topjimmi · 11 April 2018, 08:50 AM

Daytona over the Lvc

HogwldFLTR · 11 April 2018, 08:50 AM

From a value perspective the Daytona would be the one. One Daytona equals two LVCs, imho.

Seaswirl · 11 April 2018, 09:07 AM

I’d get the Daytona and add a Sub later.

Max46 · 11 April 2018, 09:07 AM

Simple but complex situation,but Daytona rocks.

_speedmaster_ · 11 April 2018, 09:20 AM

I’m certainly in the minority here, but I would keep the LVc. I’ve gotten to try on a Daytona (albeit black dial), and while I’d love to have a Daytona C, the LVc wins out for me.

kilyung · 11 April 2018, 09:24 AM

I’d do it. Very easily to reverse that with a trade and cash back.

drmizzou · 11 April 2018, 11:56 AM

Im thinking of selling off a couple of pieces to fund the daytona 116519 and it may need to include the LVc but not sure about this....

Bruins7 · 11 April 2018, 12:48 PM

Daytona c is the better watch imo

77T · 11 April 2018, 01:37 PM

Has Peter been by yet? No?
Well I’m a poor substitute but here goes...the Daytona is still the same watch with just a sliver of ceramic added on.

If you’re interested in being able to read the time, or know the date, keep the LVC.
